Darn it, I can't remember what everyone was looking at! |
Brenda displays her fine craftsmanship |
In an amusingly stereotypical moment, the guys break into a poker game (though the Settlers pieces used as chips supply a creative touch) |
Karina tries on her full gear... |
... and models fetchingly |
Taking a break with the crowds near the Emerald chair |
Trying some turns |
Looking more confident |
Typical view from Lower Whiskey Jack |
It's sunny on Blackcomb but snowing on Whistler |
Brenda gets a lift to dinner after contuding her knee (contuding... possibly the newest addition to the english language? :) ) |
The whole gang (except for Jimmy, who headed home early) manages to pull itself together for dinner Saturday night |
Brenda gets to try out her train game against some formidable opponants |
The formidable opponants |
Dusit, you appear to be missing some clothes! |
Terribly sore from the first day, Karina is determined to conquer her personal El Guapo |
A snowbow outside the Roundhouse! |
Snowboard instructor Aron demonstrates his near-term form... a healthy video camera was born shortly after, it's batteries warm and fully functional in the -20oC sunshine. Birthing video to be viewed after lunch. |
Can't complain about an instructor:student ratio of 2:3! |
The sunlight is pretty in the snow-covered trees |
Justin gives Karina some pointers. Meanwhile, the snowmaking equipment does battle with the erosion at the base of the Emerald chair. How can it not be snowing in Whistler when it's even snowing in Vancouver? |
Why does it not occur to me to lend my camera to other people? |
The view up Fitzsimmons Valley... judging from the din, methinks there was avalanche dog training going on nearby |
The crazy crowds at the Roundhouse on an unbusy day, and a nice view of the mountains across the valley |
Karina and I bump into Justin, Erica, Brian, and Peter at lunch on Sunday... they even found this nice table with an awesome view |
Getting ready to go |
The Fateful Tray: Home to the French Fries of Dubious Origin ("That's not our tray, how many of those have you eaten?") and the final resting place of the Banana That Should Not Have Gone Snowboarding. |
View from the video viewing room |
Justin and Aron rewind the video to replay the funny parts |
Karina checks her toes; the girl with the awesome unicorn helmet clearly suspects she's in the photo |
Not much to do on the chairlift, might as well take a photo |
Excessive refuelling at Shab after the gruelling weekend |
