I got back from Whistler last night from a long weekend of snowboarding. Root, Fabio, and myself flew up on Wednesday night and hit the slopes on Thursday morning. I rode on Friday and Saturday and flew back on Sunday in order to make it in to work this morning. Root and Fabio come back tonight.
Conditions were fairly good for opening week, with a little under a meter (39-inches) of accumulated snow. There were a few secret stashes here and there, but the marked runs were scraped down to the icy substrate by Saturday afternoon, especially toward the bottoms, or on the green runs back to the lifts. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Dining was good as usual, but the fall of the USD versus the CAD made things hurt a little all around. I got $0.93 CAD per $1 USD when I converted.
