With Whistler Closed, I have to drive and park, so that's how my our day started. Used my head today and parked for free in the mid station lot of the Excalibur Gondola. Yesterday was $10 in the Village. Had to walk about 40' for the ride (Zap) Played like a hamster (DDK) on Jersey until the Alpine opened. Glacier Drive was smooth, untracked ball bearings all the way down an already soft Overbite. Nothing like spring snow to let you ski the zipperline on steep bumps! Did it again and then traversed over to 7th Heaven. They never should have made that lift except for days like today! No wind, no windblown snow, not frozen hard most of the day!!! It was perfect nicely named groomers like "Cloud Nine" or simply taking the fall line (the best line) under the chair. Then, because the Alpine would close soon, I got Packalolo and Sudan's in quick succession. Sudan's was so isothermic my poles kept going half way down again. I didn't eat the soup (DDK) but had a beer on the Sunny Patio at Glacier Creek. The rest of the day was on ego building bumps on the Bite, Staircase and the one in between. Blowdown?.....All the same. Out on Zig Zag to the true mandatory Gondola down. Biggest problem all day was sunburn avoidance.😳
