Whistler for Ski Week Vacation!

We spent an amazing four days up at Whistler for Mid-Winter Break. Eben found a great deal on a condo in the village and we skied open to close four days in a row.

One of our favorite runs was the "Peak to Creek" which started at the top of Whistler Peak and went all the way down to the Creekside village. We did that as our first run two of the days and got to enjoy some freshly groomed corduroy and amazing views on the 5000+ feet of vertical run. Be sure to check out the short video.

 Another favorite run was the Dave Murray downhill that was used in the 2010 Whistler Olympics. This is the starting gate.

The kids had a lot of fun doing jumps in the terrain park. Check out these videos!

We did a lot of hot chocolate breaks in the lodge to stay warm.

We woke up to fresh powder on our final day and it kept snowing all day. The powder was incredible and we enjoyed great runs in the Seventh Heaven area of Blackcomb. It was so quiet and the snow was so soft and fluffy, it was really amazing conditions.

 As you can see, we have the place to ourselves and we all got "fresh tracks" in the powder.

 Happy kids on the drive home.
