Whistler, BC

To continue on from where I left off, Whistler was absolutely AMAZING! So amazing in fact that we've booked our flights for next yr! But I digress..... back to my original blog entry. The intention was to snowboard, and snowboard we did - all 6 days off it. To be honest though,even after 8 days, we really didn't want to leave. The snow was that good. Whistler ski resort itself is made up of 2 mountains - Whistler and Blackcomb. As such, one could spend exploring over 8000+ acres of terrain, parks etc and 200 marked trails from beginner to advanced. Facilities wise, it was good. Having boarded o/s before - it was impressive with amenities and entertainment close at hand.

I met Mario! There is a run named after Nintendo and "Mario", while skiing down the run kept on going "Where is Luigi!" - so funny.

It started snowing every night after day 2 - a little bit of snowball fight was definitely on the list.

Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics so there was still a lot of its memorabilia around the place.

Taking a breather over food and drinks (and watching the English Premier League match at the same time)

At the Peak 2 Peak gondola baby!

Still getting a feel to boarding. Watching little rugrats just zooming past you on a blackrun makes you feel so small sometimes...

More to come....
