It’s been minus 15-20 the last two days. An Arctic blast is coming down and making temperatures the coldest for awhile here. The sun’s still shining – hasn’t stopped since we arrived – which is better than the 2 days of sun in January. The real-time temperature is here.
Kim got a birthday present from Molly today – lots of chinese sweets…
If you want a winter olympics gold medal get down to Whistler…
It took me awhile to figure out how this bin worked…
The coldest day so far, around minus 10 and clear blue skys. Mia needed a pair of skis and we found a pair of Dynastars… In the village with the Whistler Gondola in the background.
It took a week, but the girls took out the sofa bed!
We skied over to the Creekside area today. Creekside was the original Whistler base so it’s the oldest area of Whistler. Both the men’s and women’s downhill will finish down at the base area of Creekside. Ate lunch at Dusty’s. A nice casual place – probably the best lunch spot we’ve found to date.
Greta, Kerstin and I headed over to Blackcomb today. Skied all over, tried to get to the glacier again but the T-bar had already stopped. Had lunch at Christine’s and had the salad+salmon combo – probably the best value meal on the mountain at C$11 before a 20% discount for ski pass holders. Service could […]
Kim and I took a guided tour on Blackcomb mountain and the host took us to the Blackcomb Glacier. It’s a short hike but the snow and the skiing was excellent. Unfortunately I left the memory card for the camera at home but there are some photos of the area here. Hopefully we’ll get there […]
Did a free mountain tour today and took some panoramas of Whistler. Top of Emerald chairlift… Top of Creekside gondola and bottom of Big Red chair… The bowls off Pika’s Traverse…
Here are some pics of the men’s downhill course when Whistler hosts the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Very very steep but a great ski run!!!

We’ve settled into Whistler after an eventful week. We left Kew on 2 February and caught the Qantas flight 25 to Los Angeles via Auckland. We stayed two nights in Los Angeles for Greta to recover from the plane trip. Our hotel in LA was the Los Angeles Airport Marriott but after we checked in […]
