OK one local, Sandra, a friend from way back, who moved out here a couple of years ago.
It was a lovely Powder day but it was also an American holiday weekend so lots people travelled up the ski resorts for a bit of a holiday. Unfortunately this makes for mad queues at all the chair lifts.
Sandra is a boarder and knows all the nice little bits of the resort so we spent the day with some nice blacks and tree and bike tracks (one called blue velvet) on Whistler mountain. Particularly fun was a trip into Whistler bowl which was quite bonkers, steep with deep pow and really no visibility. She also introduced me to a bit of a Whistler tradition, the Bloody Caesar cocktail at lunch which is quite tomato-y and quite spicy. I've not idea how strong it is but it was very nice.
At the end of the day we went drinking at Brandy's and watched the American football. It was also an opportunity to meet Sandra's other half Ryan and some of her friends. They were all very nice and made me feel very welcome.
Sunday was quite! a bit of skyping and I went to watch the half pipe comp
