and snow
Yesterday we watched the Men's Downhill till it was a foregone conclusion (about at #32) then walked all over the village. I got myself a stylish non-wintery hat, and lots of chocolate. We couldn't decide where to eat, so we stopped at Longhorn's, Whistler's answer to Senor Frogs. It was loud and silly and the service was shit, but the portions were huge and the waitresses were hot enough. We also stopped in a few art galleries; I need to ask ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tyrven what the painter's name we liked was, but he's the only modern painter I've seen in years that's moved me.
Today was skiing. We woke up to snow, the first time since we've been here, and it was lovely. It calmed down by the time we got up to near the top, and the sun came out for a bit. It went away by noon, when we stopped near the Blackcomb Rendezvous for lunch. But by 1:30pm it was back, and we had some lovely runs. Except at the peak, where it was foggy as Hades. And then around 3:30pm, near the bottom. The odd thing about Whistler-Blackcomb is that it's so very huge, the runs take 30 min even if you're fast. And I am not. I guess we went downhill about 3 times, but the last run was all the way to Whistler Village, with the fog and slushy runs. The only time I fell was on the slush.
Anyway. We got back and I showered, and soon we are heading to dinner. Mongolian Grill, I think. Tomorrow we will sit around moaning about how sore we are, then I fly home.
