R@!n early was an annoyance, but as it subsided, it left behind extremely soft snow, particularly on the slopes strewn with snowmaking whales like Quantum Leap and Downdraft.
Back at Whistler Blackcomb! I started the day laddering up (and then climbing up) to Blackcomb Glacier, which I had missed on the trip here a few years ago.
The week started out pretty crowded as Monday was a national holiday in Canada — a new one: Family Day.
