We went skiing in Whislter, BC with Pat and Val and had a total blast. For those of you who haven’t been to Whistler, Whistler isawesome, 
it will blow your mind. Before Michelle and I moved to Seattle, we always wanted to plan a ski trip here, and it never worked out. We were really excited to finally go last January and got to start exploring it then, and we were even more excited to share what we’d learned with Pat and Val.Whistler-Blackcomb is insanely big. Not only does it have the most vertical of any ski area in North America (remember, Whistler is in BC, Canada), but it also has more terrian on one mountain than any other resort. And what really gets your noodle in a mess is that there isn’t only one mountain, there are two: Whistler and Blackcomb, and they are building a gondola that connects the two peaks. To our suprise, both mountains are awesome and definitely need to be explored.
And, to top it all off, the base of the mountain is only at 1000 feet because it’s so close to the coast, which means that you’re not at altitude, which is mercy on your endurance. The only downside is that t’s in the Northwest so you never know what the weather will be like, and since it’s so low, if it’s warm, it could be raining on the mountain. Which, believe it or not, is what happened to our trip with Pat and Val. Not to worry, though, it’s still skiing, and the skiing was great!
