To the EXTREME

Back from Whistler- what a trip! We had a GREAT time. Alex and I arrived around 10pm Friday night. Andrew and Kathy were already there, they had checked us into our "slope side" room, and poured us a glass of wine as we walked through the door.

The next morning Alex and Andrew did "fresh tracks" while Kathy and I sipped our coffee and watched skiers go up and down the lift from our living room window. Our hotel was literally on the side of Blackcomb mountain. We joined up with the boys around 10am, and started skiing straight out of our hotel. Ski-in ski-out is AWESOME! No walking in ski boots!!!

We took the peak-2-peak across from Blackcomb to Whistler. Even though you know you're safe, it is pretty freaky! It is the worlds longest and highest gondola, 1500 feet up in the air, and you travel for 11 long min.

From there we chaired up to the tip top of Whistler Mountain, where the wind nearly blew us off the mountain! It was by far my most extreme skiing to date.
After we put in a full day on the slopes, we warmed up in the hot tub and then headed down to Whistler Village for dinner. We ate a cute Italian restaurant with live music. Yum!

Day two we woke up and skied Blackcomb Mountain. Alex, Andrew and Kathy took me through a motocross, or skiercross, track where I nearly died speeding around corners and flying over hills! I can't wait to watch the 2010 Olympics and see if they race on the same track.

What a great weekend, wish I was back there right now!!
