Day 1 - Happy Opening Day!

Whistler opened with a whopping 34cm base today.  It's mid-November, and we haven't had any snow in the Village yet.  It's not a good start to the season but fingers are crossed it gets better.  I met Pippa in the Village at 9am.  We climbed into a new gondola cabin and headed up to the Roundhouse.  As you can guess, a 34cm base doesn't leave much open for runs.  We headed for Red Chair as we worked the kinks out of our muscles.  I managed to muster up three runs in total.  The snow to the Emerald Chair wasn't bad.  Ego Bowl was the place to be, and everyone was in Ego Bowl.  I made it back to the locker room exactly two hours after reaching the Round House.  It wasn't much, but it was something.  For those who braved the limited amount of runs until the end of the day, they suffered standing in the download queue which reached the Red Chair.   Let the season begin.
