Skiing in Whistler
Today we went skiing in Whistler for the day. That’s about a 2.5 hour drive from where we live. But thankfully BF was able to scrounge up 2 free passes, so all we had to pay for was the gas to get up there. And this trip was much, much cheaper than going up for the impromptu long weekend trip that I had ended up budgeting for.
I’ve never been skiing in Whistler before, so it was quite the experience. First, it’s MASSIVE! Whistler/Blackcomb is so ridiculously big. I only ended up seeing about half of Blackcomb, and we didn’t even get to take the gondola over to the Whistler side. But, we have 3 more passes so I’m sure I’ll get ample opportunity. Second, the snow was great. Perfect conditions. And it wasn’t even that busy up there. I had plenty of room, and often times there was no one around me at all. Which was good, because I’m a pretty crappy skier. :)
We were up there for about 5 hours, and near the end I was getting tired and cranky. Hopefully I will be able to last an entire day out on the slopes by the time we go on our Whistler weekend trip in late-March/early-February.
Hopefully we get some snowfall on the local mountains in the next few days, because with all this rain we’ve been getting, it’s starting to look ugly!

Well that's good you were able to get some skiing in!
I've been skiing once, and spent the day on the bunny hill. It was really pathetic! haha. :P
I'm jealous. I haven't been skiing for years! Every winter I say we have to go, and it just doesn't work out.
