Whistler finally!

After our Mexican adventure, Mike and I both really felt the need for snow. So when we finally arrived in Whistler and met up with the rest of the Golden crew life felt pretty good. And its been a couple of really good weeks since then, even though half the mountain is closed without prior notice to us season passholders since the construction of the stupid Peak to Peak gondola project. But mostly its been good times here. The telus festival came and went with lots of tourists and expensive cover at the nightclubs...The weather has been really cold, in fact one of the coldest april since the 1950s, temperatures creeping towards -20 for weeks is pretty remarkable. Here is the usual dose of pictures And here is a little bonus of what we have been up to the last week. I got some good confidence out of a bottle of beer and promised that I would be able to learn how to do a 540 and a 720 within a week and today was the last day and the result is that I wasnt able to do the 720 but i managed to learn some other neat tricks instead.
Enjoy!
