Day 125 | just because

I was hoping to return from a sunny three week vacation to a warm and sunny Whistler.  No such luck.  It's more like the month of March instead of the month of May.  Blackcomb is open until May 30th.  There isn't much else to do around here in the crappy weather (it's still too cold for me to ride the bike park) so we decided to go snowboarding.

Pip dropped us off in the village around noon and Jordan and I headed up the gondola for some "spring" shred.  A third of the way up Excelerator Chair we hit the cloud cover and couldn't see a thing.  We were hoping it was a low laying cloud and we would pop out of it once we got higher.  No such luck!  If anything the visibility got worse the higher we climbed.

We made our way down to Jersey Chair, not being able to see much except ten feet in front of you.  The snow was super soft and spring like but when you have no visibility, it doesn't make it much fun.  We took a lap through the medium park and then called Pip to meet us at Base II as we weren't going to make a day out of it.  I don't think we had such horrid conditions at any day during the winter.  If the sun pops out, perhaps we might try it again before Blackcomb closes on Monday.
