Whistler - Blackcomb in the sun

I was watching a bit of the Paralympics online -  lo and behold the alpine events at Whistler were delayed due to fog again!

Mountains are definitely best enjoyed on bright, sunny days (don't forget the sunscreen). Whistler is great when the fog and clouds do lift and to prove it: here's Jan loving the view from the top of Whistler mountain on a bright sunny day a couple of weeks ago.

Vancouver 2010

Wow. It's true: mountains hosting the Olympics are empty!

We had an amazing blue sky day of skiing on Monday at Whistler-Blackcomb and never ever had to wait in  any line up! If it was always like that I would spend way more skiing time there. Yes, during the Olympics you pretty much have to take a shuttle up at $70 round trip it's expensive, but no line ups, so I figured, it's well worth the extra cash.

And we had a fantastic time in downtown Vancouver and with our friends in Deep Cove (what a pretty place!), too. Awesome Olympics. Go Vancouver!
