Day 2 – Riders on the storm

A sunny day set the atmosphere for great riding. We took are time getting ready to hit the slopes so we could get the half day rate. We got on the free village shuttle near our lodge which was very convient. It wasn’t to long until we got to the Blackcomb Day Lodge base. We got our tickets and hit the slopes.

The snow was very very packed with a bit of fluffy layer on top. Jeff was using his snowboard today and was quite ready to get the feel for it on some longer, wider groom runs. After warming up, we both took off like a banshee.

After two and half hours of riding, we boarded all the way down into Whistler Village. We typically get food at the bar just at the foot of the mountain – Longhorns. We ordered a pint of Reds and some burgers (salmon / veggie). Good stuff. A plate full of jojos comes with it. A ton of food but we manage to walk back to the lodge.

We slept the afternoon away, but eventually stepped out for some grub. The brewery is the closest restaurant and it was dang cold out, so we gave it another try. We had some cheesy pizza that really hit the spot.

Afterwards, we just went back to the lodge and vegged a bit more. Tired, we both were and ready for some more rest and some more riding tomorrow.
