Hi Everyone,
We awoke to wet snow this morning at the base which quickly changed to better wet snow at the top of the mountain. Visiblity was poor in the middle of the mountain but seemed clearer at the top. I snowed lightly all day. We met up with Chris, Julia’s cousin and skied with him for the day. We took the Blackcomb Goncola up to the Glacier chair and then the t-bar to the top to the glacier. We then had to climb about 150 metres to get to the glacier. The first time I did it with much heavy breathing. The second time, Chris acted as my sherpa. He took my skies and I took his poles. I obviously got the better deal.
We saw one 2-3 year old kid do a difficult entry to the glacier with ease and the continued down the hill with his father. We all stood there in awe. The ski down was great. If you chose a good line, you could do most of the descent in unbroken or broken powder. At he end of the day we had our usual pizza with beer at the Handlebar Bar.
Love,
Brian
