REALTORS® ON RETREAT
An amazing journey into the deep wilderness of British
Columbia
September 11-15th, 2016
TRIP NOTESby Suze Cumming

We travelled from Whistler to Skycamp located on Crystal Lake in the south Chilcotin Mountains – in a straight line it’s 110 km but the float plane route through mountain passes and around peaks was significantly longer. Flight time was 45 minutes.

The journey began with a drive up the famous Ski to Sky Highway to beautiful Whistler British Columbia where we spent the first night in the Pan Pacific Mountainside at the base of the mountain. The Whistler Chamber of Commerce hosted our first master mind meeting and we shared a fine meal at Trattoria di Umberto’s

Monday morning we took off from Green Lake in Whistler and headed into the mountains. The small De Havilland Beaver Float Plane (circa 1961) is perfect for puddle jumping around the alpine lakes. The plane took us in two loads through some of the most unbelievable mountain and glacier geography anywhere in the world.

THE PURPOSE
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...”
― Henry David Thoreau
Disconnect
Understand our People – our teams, employees, clients, prospects, colleagues and self
Achieve Peak Performance – through deliberate and intuitive attention
Examining our team models – does the triangle of hierarchy that has evolved in real estate work?
Gaining new perspective on self, real estate and the world we live in

What we DidWe used the vast wilderness, the nature, the adventures and the incredible experience and wisdom of the group to achieve new perspectives, restore our attention and allow for breakthrough thinking.
A new perspective brings forth new solutions. The clarity that comes from being in nature allows us to see what was hidden to us before.
To feel humble in the big picture of the wilderness allows us to set our ego aside and look at our business, our lives and our selves through a new lens.

We paddled. Crystal lake is a pristine Alpine lake. While often fairly windy, during our stay the conditions for paddling both canoes and kayaks was perfect. The entire group circumnavigated the lake.

We talked.
We had organized master mind sessions throughout our retreat but some of the most interesting thoughts emerged from the spontaneous conversations .
![Page 25: Realtors® on Retreat in the Wilderness of BC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070511/58a034e31a28ab5d2e8b5481/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We hiked.The Chilcotin Mountains are ideal for hiking. Varied trails gave everyone a chance to participate at their level.
We hiked as one group on the long day to a beautiful waterfall. The next day we went in two separate groups. One to enjoy the beautiful moments and the other to push towards a destination.

We Ate.Our camp host, Cathy, prepared fresh healthy meals that we enjoyed at the long table in the log cabin by the wood stove. A perfect setting for mastermind sessions, reflections and idea sharing.

We talked more.

And sometimes we just took in the beauty.

We celebrated friendships, new and old.

We Explored
We had the privilege to visit the bridge glacier. Weather conditions must be ideal for the float plane to land on this glacier terminus lake.

Bridge Glacier
Bridge Glacier
The Bridge Glacier is the headwaters for the Bridge River. It is the source for one of BC’s largest sources of hydro power.
The Bridge Glacier has retreated over 3.5 km in the past 40 years and loses between 100m and 600m per year. Glacial melt has accelerated significantly since the early 1990’s
Here is an interesting Globe and Mail article about the glacierBridge Glacier

In the Wilderness, our ego’s are diminished.
