Party Time !
Spring has offically sprung here in Whistler, clear skies, sunny days and warm temperatures have arrived. The snow is soft and conditions on the hill are amazing :o) With the sun a certain party vibe has arrived in town.
I had a good evening on Friday to celebrate St Patrick's day, I finished work at 8 and went to a local bar to meet SK and a couple more friends from work for a 'fairly quiet' evening, once there I met about 15 friends from Ski School and so the evening quickly became anything but quiet...
Saturday at work was somewhat subdued but I managed to get through (with plenty of fruit juice and chocolate cake).
Yesterday was SKs birthday we spent the morning wondering around town for some window shopping/retail therapy, then went up on Blackcomb. We cruised around for a couple of runs before heading to the Crystal Hut to meet Ben and Christina (one of Bens bosses). They were both busy demolishing a famous waffle each so myself and SK both ordered one - fully loaded (blueberries, strawberries, cream, maple syrup and chocolate drops). There was a 40 minute wait so we went for a quick lap to kill time.
While on the lift uploading after our run we sailed past the Crystal Hut to hear/see the waitress walking around the table outside yelling "Waffles for Ed", a bit of frantic yelling and waving from the lift followed but we managed to get her attention!
Having filled ourselves to the point of bursting we dragged ourselves from the warmth of the hut and went for a few more runs.
That evening Myself, SK and Ben went to the Mongolie grill for dinner. Ben managed to create the heaviest bowl with SK next and myself left wondering what I had forgotten to add. It was a fun evening and SK even received a complimentary shot as it was her birthday - strawberry something I think.
Today dawned bright and clear again so we ventured back up Blackcomb we spent a few hours cruising the groomed runs racing down carving large arcing turns and jumping off the large rollers.
Plans for the week in brief:
- Another Lazy(ish) Tomorrow
- 60cm snow forecast for Friday and the Weekend
- I'm going to continue trying out all the Rental Snowboards from work. I'll let you know how it goes.
More drivel when it crawls from the primordial pool...
