 Blue is open! 

Wednesday  Dec 21 -  started shortly after 9 on Tranquility but quickly headed to Sunrise Cruiser after meeting up with Todd and Daryl.  It was either Skiers right or left at the Southern Chair with almost no snow cover in the middle.   I don't think I have ever skied on such a small base  if they had 10 cm I would be surprised!  It was all that good but Skiers left , Sunrise was OK.   Crowds really built quickly so I bailed  a little after 10:30. 

Thursday Dec 22 -  It was bombing Sunrise Cruiser for a solid 2 hours right at first tracks.   Allot less people and much better conditions with natural snow falling in addition to the man made stuff.   It was a much better session! 

Season Start - Whistler Dec 9, 10 and 11

 Headed to Whistler with Partick, Daryl and Todd meeting up with Chris when we got to Vancouver.  The plane was the  same as last year 2 travel days and 3 days on the mountain.     Only 7th Heaven was open the firat two days Peak opened up for a short time on the 2nd day but was quickly closed due to high winds.  The 3rd day,  Saturday we waited 90 minutes in a line to upload on the Blackcomb Chair.  The wait was long but very worth it as we had a really good powder day.   High Alpine was closed  due to high winds and the Peak to Peak wasn't running so we stuck to mid mountain Blackcomb and had a blast off Piste.   Working on videos and will add to this blog as I get them done.
