Plus…I bet some of those CEO’s didn’t even have a heart! ![]()
Well, there you have it- the perfect place for your… MAN CAVE!
** Ba-dum… tishhhhhh **
Thank you, thank you- I’ll be here 'till Thursday!
Ha! You can see the strings they used to hold up that fake swing-wing aircraft!
Couple shots from this seaso.
Collins Lift, Alta, Utah.
SLC typically has this nasty layer of smog floating over it which makes escaping up into the mountains that much nicer. The views in and around Wasatch are supreme.
Mineral Basin Tunnel, Snowbird, Utah.
There’s an old mining tunnel that connects the front and backside of Snowbird filled with pictures of how the place used to look from 1930 onwards.
Blackcomb Glacier, British Columbia.
Starting at the top of the Glacier via the Showcase T-Bar. This was my first time in the Pacific NW and getting used to subpar visibility (thanks fog) was interesting, but enjoyable.
Blackcomb Glacier Provincial Park, British Columbia.
About halfway down relative to the above picture, but from a different run. After this it was mostly just traversing back around to the front side of Blackcomb.
Lovely pics. Spent a season at whstler Blackcomb. Love the place. i could live there tomorrow. But that was some time ago now, i bet its changed a fair bit.
I was really caught off guard by the sheer number of Australians present ![]()
I was having too much fun to take a picture, but we formed a peanut gallery / judges panel with a few of them (and some folks whose accent I couldn’t recognize) at the drop-in to Whistler Bowl which was a little tricky that day. Good times. Many a yardsale was witnessed and appreciated (after enduring our own, of course).
I know it quite well and go up there at least a couple of times a year. It has really shot up in size due to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and all the condos. The ‘peak to peak’ gondala is worth a trip when it’s clear. During the summer the mountain biking has really took off and the bars are great.
That’s a part of N. America I haven’t had the chance to visit yet. I can’t wait…
To the South of Whistler mountain on a clear day you can see a decent day climb called ‘Black Tusk’. It’s worth exploring the Garibaldi Park for stuff like that (plus it’s actually closer to Vancouver on the same 99 road). It’s also nearly always deserted as well, as Whistler/Blackcomb can get pretty busy but outside of the ski area there are no people…
A close up last time up there (a while back now). It’s doable with ice, more of a scramble really.
Whoa…that looks kinda serious on the backside there…
I haven’t died once, so statistically it’s safe. Shale crappy rock though (it’s a volcano husk), so more a danger of getting something falling on the noggin than falling off.
Is there a helipad on top? I might need a helipad.
I had to google the Black Tusk because it looked SO volcanic to me.
…and indeed it is. My geology professor would be proud. ![]()
