Eric's 30th birthday Whistler Adventure - Day 1 & 2

Well we made it to BC yesterday. The flight was super early in the morning. We met the rest of the party at the airport at 5:00am.  Happy Valentines... But happy to leave -30 temperatures.

The group of 8 of us made it on the plane.  Eric and Jamie sitting in front of us, Barb and David to the side (Eric's parents), Diana (Eric's sister) way in the front of us, and Sean (a friend) way in the back of the plane.  See some photos below of our flight.

We had an interesting landing. For the first time we aboarted the landing.  Made another loop around and finally landed.  We went to go get our rental vehicles.  Both ended up with mini vans.  Time for some lunch!

We went to Granville Island and walked around enjoying the fresh air and atmosphere.

Eating breakfast.

We then headed to Whistler.

We were travelling with the windows down, so I decided to take a picture of the other group following us:)

Relaxing in the condo in Whistler! 

I was an early night for us,  Lola was sleeping by 9:00pm.

Day 2 started with Jamie being dropped off at the woman's ski camp and then Eric, Sean, Adam and I went to the hill.

We were having a great day until Eric lost his ski in the powder.  We searched for 1 hour and called ski patrol to see if they could help us.  Finally Adam saved the day and found it about 20 ft from where he got stuck in the snow!

Here are the boys searching for the ski

And me digging.

After lunch on Whistler we headed in the peak to peak gondola to head over to Blackcomb where Jamie was skiing.

We had a good day of skiing, but it was sure snowing and windy at the top. At one point it was so windy I think I was actually snowboarding backwards.

After skiing we headed into the hot tub at our condo to try and get some muscle relief.

Until tomorrow, we will be out on the slopes again.

Ps. Adam did take some go pro videos:)
