Wednesday Feb 27 - A day of travel
|
 So,
after a 4 hour flight and an hour getting through customs, we embarked on
a 3 hour bus trip. The cool kids (that would be Chris, Joey D, and
I) sat in the middle of the bus.
|
 And
our first order of business was to meet people. We made friends with
these lovely young ladies: Alexia, Anastasia, Stephanie, and Betsey
|
 As
well as these lovely young ladies: Monique, Kelly, Chris, and Big Head
Joey. |
 We
saw some other sites along the way. |
 So
we invited people back to our place to party the first evening. You
can see here by all the people that showed up what a great marketing job we
did. |

|
Thursday
Feb 28 - First day of skiing. And injuries.
|
 So,
we made our way out to the slopes. This was some seriously beautiful
country! |
 Here's
Chris getting ready for his first run. |
 After
a couple hours of taking it easy, Mark Ruwe spotted an out of bounds area
that looked cool. By the time we had time to say "No", he
had already gone in, so we decided to follow. This would be a
decision that perhaps Chris would come to regret. We took some time
to view the scenery before we took the plunge down the unexplored terrain. |
 Here's
part of the run. Those two little specks are Joey and Chris.
About 15 minutes later, Chris would decide to lead the group. As we
were all sitting on the snow, resting, we see Chris take this massive jump
and then disappear out of sight. I head down to the scoop and I see
him about 15 feet beyond the jump, resting squarely on his back.
"Are you all right?". . ."I don't think so". Not
the words you want to hear. One by one, the rest of our group came
up and asked the same thing. About an hour later, we finally
finished the run. We would learn later that Chris broke his
wrist. But that didn't stop him! |
| To the ladies! |
|
 Betsey, Kelly, and Luann took some
ski lessons (can't you tell?). You can see them here as part of their photo shoot.
OK, which one's Jaclyn Smith, Farrah, and Kate Jackson? |
  They
look like they're getting great lessons! |
 Back
over to the other ladies. Here's the pro skiers before they head out
- Krystal, Stephanie, Alexia, and Anastasia. |
|
|
Apparently they had a great day skiing.
All until the last run. |
 Left,
Right, Left. Good for marching, not so good for the knee while you
are skiing. |
 "Are
you Ok?"
"Do I LOOK like I'm Ok?"
|
 Why
is this guy smiling? Am I funny? Do I amuse you? Funny
ha-ha or funny like a clown? |
 The
last preparations before the trip down the mountain. |
|
Here's
the first happy hour.
Our host, Gary is in the blue.
Patrick
is behind him and across from him is Denise.

|
 Thursday
evening was the Pizza Party at the Ladies condo. Here's the two
injureds: Chris with the broken wrist and Krystal with a torn ACL and MCL.
|
|
 We
started playing some games. "Roman Numerals" was the
first. "So what number does this represent?" Betsey
has some issues. |
  |
 The
next game was "Circle of Friends" (a.k.a Circle of
Death).
Then the psychiatrist game - where I had some issues.
Lastly, the Questions game. Joey's question - "I like your
sweater". |
|
Friday
March 1st - Second day of skiing. No Injuries.
|
 We
went to Longhorn's for Apres' Ski. According to the Bouncer,
"We're the most popular Apres' ski location in North America for the
last 5 years running". |
 This
is where the picture frenzy began. We took the previous shot on 6
different cameras. Here's me taking a picture of the person taking
the original picture. |
Saturday
March 2nd - hanging out with the ladies for lunch. |
 Here's
me hanging out with the ladies at lunch. I'm taking the picture,
really. Me and 8 women, I'm not lying. |
 If
you don't believe me take a look at this picture. I'm not actually
in it, but if you look carefully into the window you can see my
reflection. |
Saturday
March 2nd - the Garibaldi Happy Hour. |
 Happy
hour started like normal. A couple beers, some music. |
 But
then people started dancing on the tables. Then it started getting
good. |
 Do
you like these nipples? |
 How
about these?
(This shot would be much funnier, if I actually aimed the camera low
enough to see Betsey touching herself) |
 "Look
what I can do with my tongue" |
 "I've
got a tongue, I want to play too!" |
 "let
me caress your skin" |
 "That
tickles" |
| Then the camera really got rolling! |
|
   
|
| Group Shots!
  
|
 I
particularly like this one (notice stephanie's hand placement). |
 |
   |
     |
|
Sunday
March 3rd - The Last Day! (Boo-hoo!)
|
 On
the last full day, we decided to go snowmobiling. My first time, as
well as the first for the other 7 people on it. |
 Here's
the snowmobile gang. |
 About
half way through the tour, we had to navigate through some tight wooded
area. Anastasia didn't do so well and flipped her snowmobile.
So we did what anybody would do while their friend is laying under a 500
pound snowmobile - we had a snowball fight! |
 Here's
the boys, uh. . . enjoying nature. |
 The
last night in Whistler, we were not about to "go quietly into that
good night". We went from the "Beni-hana-ish"
restaurant, to the bar downstairs, to the Live music bar, and lastly to
the dance place. |
The
Beautiful Vistas of Whistler, CA |
   
|
    |
And
the rest of the pictures. |
 "Hurry
up and take the picture, we want to get to the nachos". |
 "No
that's more like it".
Seriously the largest plate of nachos I've ever seen. And they
were darn tasty.
|
     |
 A
shot from the chairlift. I leaned forward and really didn't
calculate the probability of falling out of the chair. |
 Here's
my condo mates: Shellie, Ed, Mark, Becky, Sarah, Me, Joey, and Chris.

     |
|
 Take
me now!
