Last Day at Whistler Blackcomb.

Whistler was better this day.

101,074.5 total vertical feet skied in three days, man was I beat.

Cloud cover at around 3,500' and sunny skies up top. Made for a beautiful early morning.

Whistler Blackcomb Day Two

Day Two much better then day one.

Spent most of the day on Blackcomb, and found heaven.

The runs off of Seventh Heaven were the best skied all week. Great sun, great snow and my biggest vertical of the week,

Whistler Blackcomb Day one

Whistler is Dramatic, Steep, Challenging and vertical.

On day one we skied Whistler mountain, the bowls seemed limitless, as did the view.

I skied the Fresh Tracks program every day, meaning I was at the gondola top on Whistler at 7:30 and on the snow around 8:00.

The conditions were challenging and Icy, no fresh snow all week.

The lifts were almost elevators on some runs. Peak express travels the last 300 meters straight up a cliff face. Cedar point roller coasters have nothing on these lifts.

We skied off of the Harmony lift and in the symphony amphitheater most of the day, we also completed the Peak to Creek seven mile run, but it was pretty much all ice.

More video to follow.
