This weekend was a fun one! Myself, and about 20 other people went up to Whistler for a weekend of skiing and debauchery. I partook in both, of course, but my debauchery was quite mild. I swear! I was debating on wether to ski or snowboard as I vowed to learn how to snowboard this season. I was talking with a few on the trip and decided that it would not be a good idea for me to attempt learning how to snowboard in a day. Because of this, and my desire to have a rump which doesn't ache for days, I decided to stick with skiing. Now, it's not really like I am good at skiing, but I think it is fair to say I can ski better than I can snowboard, as I have actually skied before (even though it was only once before). The skiing went well, only face-planted 4 or 5 times.
The mountain itself was gorgeous. It ended up snowing on Saturday so there was fresh snow on the mountain for the day Sunday, which was wonderful and saved a shoulder or two from being destroyed. The place was full of Aussie's too! I guess Australians get board and/or very warm in the summer months and descend on Whistler around Australia Day. It was crazy, there were Aussie flags everywhere and everyone had a accent that wasn't Canadian. Oh yeah, we also apparently saw David Duchovny, and by we, I mean everyone except me even though I had to pardon myself to get by the chair his wife was sitting in because the tables in the place we were eating at were insanely close together.
