Today was a day of the good/bad/and the ugly.
Good:
Whistler bowl had nice snow. The trees underneath had chalking dry powdery snow. Snow moved in by around 1:00 and it looks like a very promising weekend. Watched the fiance' ski beautiful parallel turns on some headwalls fearlessly.
Bad:
I had a nasty fall on a flat green in the middle of a cloud bank. I hit a bump that I didn't see nor anticipated and landed on my inside edge. That precipitated in a caught edge and long slide face first. I didn't get hurt though... but the Iphone didn't handle the fall as well as I! #-o Now I can only speak using speaker or head-phones!
Ugly:
The fiancé's legs were tired to start off the day, and her boots were worse than uncomfortable. I received a text saying, right before lunch,that her legs were shot and that her boots were so uncomfortable that she would have a hard time enjoying the rest of the day. I decided it would be best to keep her happy and we would ski from the roundhouse to the base and call it a day. We got about half way down before she hit the wall. We had to actually hit a lift back up to roundhouse to download on the gondola. Being the supportive guy I am, I took her over to Surefoot to have them diagnose why her boots were so off. They look at her feet, and said "the shell is great, the liner $#@T." I ended up dropping a major amount of money to get my bunion laden lady custom liners and footbeds. The only positive was that I had a hotspot pinched out on my boots while there.
Uglier:
Tomorrow, and the day afterwards are guaranteed powder days. The lady doesn't want ski school anymore, and my extended family at who's house we're staying aren't about getting up early to hit the mountain (they also hate powder :evil: ). I might very well have to watch the mountains get skied out from the mountain itself! ](*,)
