Let it snow! Let it snow!
This past weekend I was up in Whistler … yup, I jumped off the plane from San Jose/Portland and booked it up to Whistler with Dave that very night. We didn’t start making our way up there till about 9pm but got up there quick. I was able to find a couple guys setting a quick pace - we were there in an hour and a half I think.
Anyway, the snow at Whistler was ok. It snowed 15 cm’s the night before we got there. You could only really ski the top third of the mountain and in the morning, the snow was great … when it hit the afternoon, things got a little slushy. At mid-mountain, it was horrible. Starting at 3:30 or so on Saturday it started snowing hard and did so all the way in to Sunday. It was still going strong when I
woke up at 5:30 on Sunday (couldn’t sleep - shitty soft bed). 23 cm came down that night and it looks as though 27 cm dropped on Sunday ’cause they reported a total of 55 cm for the weekend. We didn’t ski Sunday unfortunately, but did get caught behind the mudslide between Squamish and Horseshoe Bay.
Saturday night could have been much better. A freaking RCMP pulled me over. He dinged me for my tinted windows up front and now i have to take them off =( I was so pissed you have no idea … anyway, I have to look to take the stuff off this weekend. Can’t put it back on now either since they’ve got me on record. Had a Martini that night - it put me out pretty quick. For some reason, it was more potent than usual; even Dave agreed with me on that one. One thing we did catch, was a replay of one of Usher’s concerts - if he ever comes to Vancouver or Seattle, I’m there … won’t even have to think about it. I was impressed when I saw him on tv … I think to a certain extent, he’s trying to continue where Michael Jackson left off.
Sunday afternoon was filled with Sushi and bbtea with Janice and Jan out by Metrotown. I was completely out of it the whole day … so damned exhausted physically I couldn’t do a damned thing. I was looking forward to heading home and sleeping in my own bed.
