Day 30 - over thirty thousand peeps!!

What do you get when you add 43cm of snow yesterday, a holiday week, and blue bird conditions today?  You get over 30,000 skiers and riders visiting Whistler Blackcomb.  A record setting day.  The lift lines were packed!!!

It was the last day for Adventure Camp and I was determined to head up to Harmony today.  We took a couple laps in the Family Zone to start the day, had our morning break, then headed for Harmony.  As you can see from the top photo, everyone else had the same idea. ~(the bottom photo is 7th Heaven Chair)~  The great thing about working on such busy days is that Whistler Kids has it's own lift line.  And while most of the Adults and Private guys had a queue in their line, we had no queue in our line.  When we got to Harmony, we got right on the chair.  It was awesome. 

We were running close to lunchtime so I figured the quickest way out would be to traverse over towards the Tbars and drop down towards Peak Chair.  Plenty of fresh lines were still to be had there.  The snow was a bit hard from being wind blown but just a little bit.  Two out of the five boys made it out without getting stuck, one kid cried cause he was stuck, and two kids had a couple of bails with some tears.  All in all they all made it out and loved it in the end.
