Guess who is back in town? Si'Aire is in Whistler for three weeks and today was his first day out on the hill. Mother Nature was amazingly gracious as it snowed 14cm overnight, the sun shined all day, and there was no wind. It was a perfect day.
We unloaded the Creekside Gondola at 9:30 and took a warm up run down Expressway to mid-station. The boy's boots weren't fitting well enough so we ran from the top of the Roundhouse down to the Village but not before shredding through the park in the trees finding a ton of fresh powder! After we got the boots squared away, we headed over to Harmony - ran down Harmony Ridge and dropped down onto Kaleidoscope. Every turn down Kaleidoscope was a face shot! There was so much powder in there. : )
Next we took the T-bar Run down to the Peak Chair. By this time the boy was already getting tired (and hungry). I was hoping his legs would last for a few more hours but by the time we dropped into West Bowl, the boy was toast! We rode Highway 86 back to Creekside gondi and downloaded from there. I think this was a record setting first day as Si'Aire lasted 3.5hrs - and to be fair, I did take him down mostly black runs and tree runs. Hopefully tomorrow his legs will last a bit longer.
