Skiing Whistler

We woke up to a couple inch’s of fresh snow in the car park and pretty excited that we were not going to be sitting in a car all day.

We made our way down to the village to meet up with another one of Sam’s friends who pretty much has one of those ski resort dream jobs. Working and living full time in Whistler, managing a bunch of retail stores and restaurants in the village. The kind of job where you have business meetings on the chair lift, and not in the office.

The weather was brutal to say the least. Cold, windy, snowing and no visibility. Very lucky to have a guide today, as we were having to ski totally blind. I think we skied some really good snow that day. But I really cant be sure, because I couldn’t see anything. We lasted until about 2.30pm, and then headed in to warm up. I think I may have even got some minor frost bit on my nose.

Later on we met with George, a couple of his friends, as well as Annabel and went to the GLC for some Après beverages. A cool place. Totally different vibe to any bar you could go to in Jackson.

After, we moved on to the Sushi Village. Sushi 2 nights in a row. Awesome food, topped off with a dumbo bottler of Saki.

Another great time in Whistler. Its definitely a very fun place to visit, especially if you after the whole mountain village experience, and not just good skiing. Definitely puts a strain on the wallet though.
