Whistler-Blackcomb 2001


3/12/01

A few images from a mid-March trip to a small ski area to the North. Very few earned turns on this recon trip but now next time . . .

In his excitement, Jon delivers a totally un-provoked smashing blow to the liver!! Blackcomb in the background - 7th Heaven area visible.

Big cornice on the shoulder up to Piccolo that we hucked - about a 12-footer with a Charmin landing.

Conducting an unannounced inspection . . .

. . . of the frozen goods isle after a big dump on day 3.

Looking across Whistler Mountain to some of the terrain up the Fitzsimmons drainage.

Midway up the Glacier Express chair at Blackcomb.

We discovered that the Sasquatch is thriving on skis in British Columbia. Note the frozen plumage does not faze the animal. He survives in this environment by using the latest in technical outerwear . . . .

. . . using a deep knowledge of local geologic features to his advantage . . . .

. . . and gorging himself on a diet heavy in Guinness.
