Day 2 – Skiing at Whistler

We began the day with a nice breakfast before getting suited up for a day of skiing.  The weather was looking promising, so were excited to get out on the slopes.

Unfortunately, our excitement quickly dissipated upon seeing the line up for the Wizard Express chairlift.

We eventually made it to the front of the line and rode the lift up the first third of Blackcomb mountain. Fortunately, for the remainder of the day, the lift lines became much shorter.  After getting off the lift, we immediately headed over to the Solar Coaster Express lift to continue up to the main lodge on Blackcomb mountain.

We then skied down to the bottom of the 7th Heaven Express chair to head up to the top of Blackcomb. Here we are at the top of 7th Heaven before taking our first runs.

We skied for a while on Blackcomb before taking the Peak-2-Peak gondola over to Whistler Mountain.

Once over on the Whistler side, we skied over to the Harmony 6 Express for a couple of runs, before resting for a bite to eat.

We then rode up the Emerald Express for a couple of runs and took the Peak-2-Peak back over to Blackcomb.

It was getting late in the day, so we took our time enjoying a final run back down to the base. The sun was shining and the snow conditions were excellent.

We made it to the bottom of the mountain, handed our skis to the hotel valet, and headed back to our room.  It was an excellent first day on the mountain, and we relaxed in the evening at the hotel.
