Whistler mountain was the place to be. Was still feeling marginal in the morning, so I re-joined easy blue group. Blair had hurt his knee the day before, so took it really easy. Graeme was more adventurous, and joined the "advanced blue" group. The morning went really well, and it all felt too easy, so I was feeling pretty confident when I joined Tim's advanced blue group in the afternoon.
Tim's a great guy, and a great rider, having ridden for Burton for two years. He's also, clearly, colour blind So the advanced blue became the easy black group. Luckily I was still feeling highly confident after the easy morning, so even the blacks (while still terrifying) weren't completety futile, and it was amazing how completely REAL it all felt. Way cool day.
Natchos and a massage for dinner, at the Garibaldi Lift Co. Seriously, GLC was the place to be. $1 a minute for a massage, and we got to watch gross National Geographic videos while eating. Can't be beat.
Pics are here.
