Well here we are again...

Today it snowed. And snowed. And snowed. True story.  It was really a great day though. For boarding anyway.  I was very terrible but the conditions were ideal.  Evidently this is a historical month for Whistler.  I've been told that there has been more snow fall this March than any other March in Whistler's history.  The increased snow caused the local government to even lengthen the snow sports season by a couple of weeks.   

Whistler has changed a lot in the past couple years.  The traffic of the Olympics made renovation of the main highway mandatory.  The various winter sport facilities needed to be built and now draw crowds. Whistler is really on the map if it wasn't before.  I'm torn over this.  On one hand I'm worried that Whistler is going to become a city rather than a small-ish village.  I like being able to visit only once a year and have people remember me.  On the other hand I want these people to get business and make money.  I suppose it is inevitable.  

Tomorrow is another snowboarding day for me, my family will be enjoying their skis. I think sushi is on the menu for tomorrow night.  There's a new place in the lower village we were looking at... 

And thus I turn in.  See you tomorrow.

K out.

The Chinese Connection

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to update you on my upcoming adventures.

I have been informed that my much anticipated trip to Mongolia will also include the "China Extension."  This addition to our itinerary includes a grand tour of Glorious Leader's 'The People's Republic of China.'

Truthfully I'm looking forward to this.  I'm told the tour will include The Great Wall as well as an intimate private viewing of the Terracotta Warriors.  By this I mean that we get to be up close and personal with the warriors.  I'm looking forward to that.

The later part of this maybe excluded for whatever reason so let's keep our fingers crossed.  I will take plenty of pictures assuming they allow me to do so.

My upcoming trip to Whistler is fast approaching.  I can't wait to be out on the slopes.  Not sure what wacky shinnanigans I will have planned so I will keep you all informed.
