As if in answer to our prayers, snow has been falling pretty consistently over last few days and in light of this I decided I was perfectly justified in getting up at the crack of dawn 2 days running. Each morning, for the princely sum of $18 or so, your plucky skier or snowboarder can enjoy Fresh Tracks, which consists of uploading at the Whistler Village gondola a good hour before anyone else and, just as importantly, a dirty great buffet breakfast (which with the aid of Tuppaware can very easily turn into lunch and afternoon tea). This also gives you the first crack at the mountain, and is best enjoyed on a powder day.
The early morning upload affords some beautiful views of the valley and Blackcomb mountain, bathed in the singular light of the recent dawn.
We're really going to miss this place when we're gone.
