A heatwave has hit Whistler, bringing with it a temperature inversion (for the uninitiated - it's warmer up the mountain than it is in the village, due to all the glorious sunshine) and quite literally tee-shirt weather.
With heat comes softer, occasionally sticky snow. While this would normally put a spanner in the works of any good afternoon on the hill, I couldn't have cared less about the snow because I have just picked up a brand spanking new pair of skis. Despite a piece of my binding snapping off within my first few hours of use yesterday, the teething problems appear to have been overcome and I now get all gooey and annoying whenever I take my skis onto the mountain.
