Whistler December 2010 with Snojokes

December 2010, I went to Whistler for a long weekend with some skiers from Snojokes. This is a shot looking down at one of the Glacier Creek day lodge.


Margo and Linda at Whistler.


Masters, he also plays on the softball team with me.

Terry under the gondola, this gondola goes between the two ski areas, Whistler and Blackcomb.



The day before the trip, Margo and I had to go to the Federal Building in Seattle to our renew passports. I found out you can expedite the process and get them the same day even. It was close, we were leaving on a Thursday in the afternoon to beat the Seattle traffic. It was a bit stressful wondering if we were going to be able to make the trip with the rest of the group.



Shooting pool at one of our nights out at the Whistler Brewhouse Pub in Whistler. I think that was Bassuk with Margo. I don't remember names real well. I'm not much of a pool shooter. The other guys weren't too bad.

John and Masters


Craig, he also plays on the softball team.

Bassuk, Terry and Craig. We were eight guys and two gals that weekend terrorizing the slopes.

Horseshoe Bay on the way back from Whistler


I like to stop by Horseshoe Bay on the way back from Whistler for lunch. It's a beautiful place to take a break.


One of the BC Ferries



The Boathouse Restaurant on the piers.


Margo, Linda and Terry having lunch, while the other two cars carrying all the other guys stopped at McDonald's. Hey, someone has to carpool with the women.

this is the Boathouse Restaurant, which is on the water. Sometimes I stop at Troll's for lunch too. That across the street from the waterfront, but it's fun too.
The following weekend I was in Hawaii, a good change of pace.

The drive up to whistler is awesome! Glad to see you are feeling better enough to have some fun Terry!

Horseshoe Bay is very nice indeed.

Unfortunate that ferries cost so much however. Did you know that over 21 people who work for BC Ferries make over $200K CAD a year?

In real money, that's just over US$200k/year.

That is a lot of money.

Cheaper to swim.

I heard the skiing has been Epic this year!

No time for the hills. Work Work Work...

Next time your in my Back Yard give me a call. First few rounds are on me!
