First day up the hill

Much excitement today - our first day up the hill in Whistler. Conditions on the piste were good, if a little icy/packed where it was shady, but pleasantly rough and ready (it is the early season after all). After the last two days of white-outs and snowfall, today's skies were a virtually unbroken, cloudless blue plain.


Today was indeed a day of firsts, and the source of even more excitement was our first taste of 'poutine'. This is essentially cheesy chips and gravy, Canadian mountain-style. Tasty.
