Whistler does seem to have a longer "winter" than does home. If we got a foot of snow dumped on the ground the day before, we'd be stuck at home for a week. Luckily, that's not the case in Whistler.
I love the sun on snowy days
We arrived in Whistler at around 9AM for a full day of riding in the fresh powder. Super lucky, because a local said that day had the best conditions of the whole season. 7 of us getting stuck in powder because it was literally ankle (and sometimes knee) deep. One of our skiers lost his ski, and it literally took 5 people digging around in powder for about 10 minutes to locate it.
the amazing view keeps me busy while queuing.
near the top of the mountain! jaw-dropping-gorgeous.
The sun was hiding behind the clouds, and it even started snowing later in the day, but it was all worth it. I want to go snowboarding so bad.
snowy night-view from our room
Anyway, we stayed the night just so we could do another day of riding, unfortunately, my muscles aren't trained that way... so my twinnie and I went snowtubing for our first time! It was quite exhilarating. I took some videos while going down the run.
can you see the ditches?
Just in case you haven't noticed, I didn't use my Nikon. It would've been difficult to snowboard with it (plus... my skill level...)
three person ski? anyone care to explain?
While walking around town, we also saw a three-person-ski... thing. It was super weird, they couldn't move around and needed someone to push them. Eventually, they seem to have gotten the hang of it (one-two-one-two!).
We ended our trip when the gondolas and chairs closed for the day. Hockey commentators were shouting into their microphones on our ride back. Our trip was definitely complete.
