Day 14 - Squarehouse, Roundhouse whatever

9cm of fresh snow fell overnight on Whistler Blackcomb.  We talked about heading to Mt. Baker as they are getting hammered with snow during this storm as well, but I didn't want to risk taking my little sports car in the weather.  So we wandered up to Whistler around 9am.

Squamish also received about 9cm of snow overnight, so the Sea to Sky was quite snowy for the drive up.  Once we hit the canyon, the snow turned to ice and we witnessed a two car accident just south of Brandywine Falls.  We spent over an hour tending to a male driver who flipped his vehicle across the highway while we waited for the EMERGENCY services to arrive.  I think we got to the Village around 11am.

We met up with Kevin's friend, Deklan from Vancouver and lapped the Garbanzo Chair via Ptarmigan.  The run was officially closed but there at least a foot of nice snow on the trail.  In the end we managed to squeeze in about four or five runs before calling it.  It was nice just to get out before the Christmas crowd shows up next week.
