Ski Whistler

I cannot believe we have been in Whistler, Vancouver for 10days and it is now the last ski day. Sigh. I am here with buddies Craig and Daniel. Craig & I skied Zermatt about 4yrs ago and last time I skied with Daniel was almost 20yrs ago in Whistler. Daniel says that after all these years of ski-ing, I still ski like a beginner..... Guess it's lessons on the next ski trip. :)

Well, in my opinion, the boys are rather dangerous. I keep reminding everyone that we aren't 20 anymore, so we should ski safely, but the boys keep bombing down the mountain! Craig fell on his head the 1st day and had to spend the next couple of days recuperting from whiplash. Just when he recovered, he went off a cliff and tore something in his shoulder. Ya, we aren't 20 anymore! I have been popping anica and rubbing deep heat all over......... The body feels a little battered!

Whistler / Blackcomb has a huge ski domain. We had wonderful days of sunshine and the ski-ing has been great except for a couple of icy days.

Daniel borrowed a gorgeous house with 7 bedrooms, hot-tub, sauna and a kitchen to die for!

Lunch on the slopes (Favourite places : Whiskey Jack (Whitler mountain) and Crystal Hut Waffle Station (Blackcomb mountain).

The new peak 2 peak gondola takes you between Whistler and Blackcomb in 11mins. It's a great place to nap! There are 2 "glass bottom" gondolas but it really isn't anything special and not worth the wait!
