Whistler Summit

Rode the gondola and chair all the way to the top of Whister, more than a mile of vertical. The chair to the peak was a bit sketchy, about 100 feet in the air over jagged cliffs. Once on the summit it's all alpine bowls or out of bounds on all sides. After floating in the 12cm (it is Canada, ey) of fresh snow for about 20 minutes, my legs were burning and we still had about 5,000 vertical feet to go. Unbelievable snow, best I've ever ridden in. Had the two most spectacular crashes ever on the way down. Lot's of facewash, but no real damage.

After lunch Craig and I hit the Super G/Downhill run that will be in the 2010 Olympics. Those guys are crazy. Rode until our legs wouldn't work anymore and called it a day.
