Things Whitehorse doesn't have

But would be nice (or good)

Waterslides. Even if you only go once every 3 years, they are frickin' sweet!

Shopping. Of any description. I am not a huge consumer-ish person, but what they have here is just not cuttin' it.

A town nearby. There's nothing, within 5hrs, that is bigger than Whitehorse. No 'let's pop over to the next town for some shopping, or a night out' which really sucks and trust me, after living here for a winter, you'll need it.

You have to travel ($1,000 plane tix) to travel out of here. So basically, if you go on a trip, it's just a trip in itself to get the hell out of here. =$$$$$$$ out of your pocket, unless you are flying Air North direct to Hamburg.

There is only 1 horse show. One. Dear god.

Every riding 'stable' doesn't have a barn...or a ring...or an indoor arena..or trained horses. The calibre of equestrian community out here is pretty frickin' dismal. *sigh*

Electricity, heat, food, rent all cost an absolute fortune, on par with an actual 'city' like Vancouver or Victoria. ????? Why?? Oh, perhaps it is because people aren't meant to be living in the frigid tundra..even if it is 22 deg. today!!
