A Vicarious Ski Trip with Teendrama
You’ll feel like you were almost there because Dennis Crowley took so many pictures. Fortunately, he’s willing to share them with you:
If you are stuck at work right now, just imagine yourself with friends going on the most exciting ski trip of your life:
Monday = better. No new snow, but at least the visibilty cleared up. We stayed on the Blackcomb side of things again and went back for round 2 on the glacier. I’ve been to Whistler a few times (this was my 3x trip out), but I’ve never really done anything off-trail… no backcountry, nothing really super steep… which is usually because I’m riding with people that don’t know that mountain that well (fyi – bad idea to explore the mtn alone) or with people that aren’t super aggressive skiiers. But then there’s this crew – Ali + Adam are easily two the the best skiiers I’ve even rode with and Chad (Denver represent) will charge anything on a snowboard. And I think these kids have been out to Whistler, what, a few times each before, so they knew where to find the good chutes, where to hike, what’s safe vs. not safe, etc. Anyway, I ended up skiing much harder, steeper stuff this trip than I think I’ve ever done on any other ski trip.
Even though the ski season is winding down, it’s wonderful to read other people’s stories about their trips. I have never gone skiing in my life, and there is no excuse because I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I can live vicariously through the lives of others, though.
