Food inspectors

Found this web site (Healthspace) that publishes the food inspection reports of Whistler restaurants. Our regular restaurants fared OK.

Our daily bread

This is the wheat-free bread we’ve been eating every day. Made in Vancouver, the supermarkets here get a few loaves a week. Hard to find, it’s excellent. Wish we had it in Melbourne.

Snowboarding video

Greta and Mia went snowboarding today and I finished editing the video of them when they were out last. As usual, you’ll need Quicktime player to watch it. Here it is (30MB): Snowboarding movie.

Kaze Sushi

Tom Akama’s a private ski instructor by day and restaurateur by night. His restaurant is inside the Westin. Great suki yaki.

Sunshine and i.M88s

After the dismal weather yesterday the sun shone this morning with 20cm of fresh snow on the upper runs. I met up with Andrzej who’s up here with his oldest son Stefan for a ski-weekend. We skied everywhere: Bear Paw, Jimmy’s Joker, West bowl, Bagel bowl, Sun bowl, Harmony runs… The nicest was Bagel Bowl off the Peak. I had a pair of demo Head i.M88s in 164cm. The ski was great on all snow except for hardpack and when you didn’t need to do short turns. Very interesting ski, it comes on 10cm grades, so the next size is 175cm and I think a 170cm for me would be perfect… pity it doesn’t come in that length!
