Whistler Jan 2011 Part 2

Whistler Jan 2011 Part 3

A 10-day trip to Whistler with Ian & Dave.

The sky was clear nearly all the way, so even at 36,000 feet we still had a good view of Greenland...

 
  


Our position...


 


An impressive Greenland fjord...


 


Over Newfoundland we were overtaken by another plane...


 

Up close...

 



Day one riding off the back of Peak Chair.

Ian with Black Tusk behind...






Some skier got in the way in this shot, oh, it's Kev...


 

A beautiful clear day on a piste that is more often than not windswept and misty...

 


Ian & Kev...


 

Day two was mainly spent on Blackcomb glacier, a T-Bar and a bit of a walk, but well worth it for some fresh lines...


 

Ian & Dave...


 


Looking up above the Wind Lip...





Maybe next year, we watched two skiers perform somersaults on the Wind Lip on Blackcomb glacier...




Ian and I...


 


Dave comes into frame...


 


Cheery lunch in the Crystal Hut... Obviously, I only bought it for the blueberries - full of anti-oxidants...






Ian & Dave at the top of Symphony Chair on Whistler Mountain...





Ian takes to the air...





Tackling Dave's creek bed run at the bottom of Symphony...





It was icy, with only a few places to check your speed and some big holes down to the running stream for the unwary...




A pitcher or two at the G.L.C....
