Friday 18th April 2014 - Skiing.....

We went to the ski rental shop and got helmets, skis and boots. 

We went up the other gondola to the top of Mount Whistler.

There are lots of runs:

We skied down the Marmot run on to the sidewinder run to the Emerald Express lift.   

Then we went down Upper Whiskey Jack run onto Papoose run then the Bear cub run to the tree fort.   

Me and Josh went really far ahead and our Mum’s had to go on separate runs to check where we went.  We went down the Express run to the Garbanzo Express lift and went back up the mountain, then down the Lower whiskey Jack run and back up the Emerald Express to the Round House.  

We had a drink and something to eat 

and then we went on the Peak to Peak Gondola to Blackcomb Mountain.  It was a really big Gondola. 

Then we went down the Express way and easy out to the forest with the magic Castle playground:

then on the sunset boulevard to the Solar Coaster Express.   

Then we went down the Expressway and onto the whole of the Sunset Boulevard run, I had two wipeouts, one of them I slipped and head butted the snowy bank and then bounce back on my bottom.  Then we went back up the Solar Coaster Express and had a hot chocolate at the top – though I didn’t really like it. 

Then we went back on the Peak to Peak Gondola, we went on a glass bottom one and my brother didn’t like it as we had to wait for it for a really long time and he just wanted to ski. It was sort of annoying as I thought it would be glass bottom all over but it was just in a space in the middle with wires around it so you couldn’t stand on it.  It was pretty cool as you could see under and see the snowboarders and skiers.  

Then we went down the Marmott and went over to the green acre and ended up on a blue run called the Jolly Green Giant and we skied down the Upper Olympic run then down the Lower Olympic run all the way into Whistler Village.  Then we took back the ski’s and things and got some icecream:

 

then we went back to the apartment and I went in the pool and the hot tub before dinner.
