We Whistler while you work!

So, we did our best to get off (and stay off) our backsides with a trip to Whistler. Two years early for the Olympics but we thought we'd test run the slopes for them.


Mrs Phileas and Claire fear the anticipated effect of gravity.


Got up to a height of 6025ft.

Great views from the lifts (didn't notice much scenery coming down for some reason!) Weather and snow covering a slight improvement on Aviemore!


Phileas' ride was longer than his surfing experience but the ending would sometimes be a little more abrupt and unforgiving.

Phileas soon learned to avoid the trees. The wounds heal but glory is forever, eh Dan? What about humiliation?



Apparently skiing is not exactly like riding a bike!


But after a little practise, the girls were pretty good, and up for any new challenge.
