- on December 31, 2009, as per her request, Donna Mae Snow's ashes were released over the mountains in Whistler.
Knowing Snow, you know she'd love a little adventure thrown into the mix. After all her email address was "Bungiewoman@aol.com".. SO after sitting on the back patio of the condo we used to live in on Blackcomb mountain, I heard this whizzing sound in the distance, across the creek!... it took me 2 days to figure out it was a Ziptrek!...pondering the noise, I KNEW it was the perfect thing to do for Mom's last adventure!!... the next day, I took her ashes and went on the tour up the mountain, past the new Bobsled & Luge track, Hiked a bit thru the Rainforest, then zipped across the creek from one mountain to the next and back and forth again down 10 different zip lines! On the 9th, Mom's ashes were released behind where her 2 oldest grandchildren were born! ...JUST IN TIME for the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Olympics!! She's there waiting, bringing on all of the fresh snow in Whistler right now!!... It started to snow that night and was dumping outside by the next morning!! :)
May she Rest In Peace!
God Bless you Mom! You'll be with us forever in Spirit!~~~~~
