A two-week trip to Whistler with Ian, Laura, Andy & Dave and a 2 night visit from Kev.

The snow was fantastic, but all that perfect snow weather did mean that the skies were grey and the photo's lack definition.


Journey to the snow


Cracks in the ice sheet off the west coast of Greenland...

 
  


Photo put into context and we're nearly halfway there too...


 




 
Straight to the Longhorn for an evening or early morning UK time pitcher...


 


Just the view we wanted from the apartment in the morning... plenty of fresh snow...


 

Andy & Dave by the snowed-up driving range fence outside the apartment...

 



All green and we're good to go...





Harmony - Dave taking a line through Boomer Bowl...



 

Dave above the Gun Barrels...

 


Dave picking his way through the trees...


 

Separated at birth? A couple of old fellas trying out this new fangled technology at the Roundhouse...


 

Rumbled...


 


Laura and Ian on the Peak to Peak cable car...





Out of the mist...




Climbing to the top of the ridge above Blackcomb Glacier...


 


In the spindrift at the top...


 



Andy - with Seventh Heaven below him to the left and the Glacier to the right... we were rewarded for our hike with some extra deep powder, though the low light meant you weren't 100% sure whether you were going to go up or down as you went forward...






Andy with his Tellytubby, Go-Pro helmet-cam in the main glacier bowl...





I think that's called a close-up shot...






Ian, Laura, Kev & Andy on the way up for another...






Me, Dave, Andy & Ian...





After a full day it was time to retire to the GLC for a little relaxation...
 


Good to see the powder being refreshed for tomorrow's riding...






Scary portions...



Mmmm... pulled pork nachos and Kev with his weird veggy pizza type thing...







As the evening progressed, we moved on to ever more sophisticated topics of conversation...





Andy admiring the rear end of Kev's Tesla...
