Fresh Tracks

Whistler does this thing where if you arrive very early and pay a few extra dollars you can be on the gondola before the hill opens. They have a buffet breakfast at one of the restaurants at the peak and then you have access to the mountain before it opens to the public. I was fortunate enough to do this today. You really are the first person down some of the runs. You get to look back at the carvings you made in the powder you just skied through. I ran out of legs at around 2 this afternoon.
