• OH CANADA (Part II)

  Whistler (sun)
  arrived in at whistler in the morning after waking up at the butt crack off dawn and daylight savings… bleh…hung out with pat’s friends a bit before settling down in the house… and deciding to get a half day pass…despite it raining like crazy…

  took the gondola up to whistler …the weather was pretty bad so they had everything above roundhouse was closed…anyway, i was STARVING for lunch so i ate lunch early while pat did a few runs with his friend…ate and then i did 2 or 3 runs before deciding we should head back.. didn’t take too many pictures that day… these are it… bundling up in roundhouse before heading out….
  

  

  
  had dinner at hy’s steakhouse… got filet mignon and pat got …i forgot…but it’s below… and the whole group of us shared a bunch of YUMMY side dishes….mmmmmmmmm steak…
  

  

  Blackcomb (mon)
  we headed up to blackcomb on monday…and boy was it ICY! went up glacier and the upper portion was awesome… then got crusty and back to icy… it took a few hard falls to remind myself i REALLY disliked icy conditions….  but going up high was DEFINITELY worth it… although not much visibility…but still fun!  and then a few times the sun decided to poke out… and many times it was like one of those “aaaaaaahhhh” moments….

  

  at night we all had dinner at mountain club…. i had the chicken and pat had the mac and cheese with ribs… but the funny thing was, was that the menu had MAC & CHEESE as the main part…. just a LITTLE deceiving…  and you had to PAY for bread… which i suggest NOT ordering… b/c it’s like three slices and dip/spreads no one liked at the table…

  

  Whistler (tues)
  there was just crazy snow and wind  in the morning so much so it felt like it was moving you…. anyway in the afternoon all that lifted
  just as i we went out for a few runs at the end of the day…. which was AWESOME!  they were the best conditions we had had so far that trip!
  

  after lunch….sunny…. takin’ a break
  

  olympic torch sculpture (got a bit windy for a bit)…then back to CLEAR and NICE
  

  boarded back down to meet up with everyone…but not before trying my first beavertail… i had NO clue what the heck it was… but it’s like a dessert sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar… yummy… anyway while waiting for it the guy asked if we wanted this extra hot dog with cheese and pizza sauce lying around…hey FREE FOOD, of course!  especially we were hungry after…

  

  for dinner we drove over to the rim rock cafe…out of whistler village… and boy was that place YUMMY!  i had a salmon with lobster mashed potatoes…and pat had a sea bass…and since everything was soooooo good we decided to try their dessert…. we had an assortment of fruit sorbet…. soooooooo yummy!
