Whistler, B.C. Canada Ski Trip 2003

I couldn't think of a better way to use up some airline miles!! Whistler was huge! 5000 ft of vertical and 5000 acres. It snowed every single day. Fresh snow every morning! Spent one day snowmobiling. Did the 4 hour X Treme tour, met some great Canadians.
Day 1 It had been snowing all night and continued all day.

Whistler Bowl (Black run)  Look closely at the top center, that is where we came from.  The powder was VERY deep and very steep.

Charlotte, my Danish friend.  On Whistler Bowl.  You can see how steep the run is by looking behind her.
