bluebird whistler day

Yesterday, we went skiing at Whistler, on a bluebird day with 16 cms of fresh powder. We ended up hiking with our skis on our backs for at least an hour as we attempted to climb Piccolo Summit for fresh tracks. Unfortunately, one of our group (not me) was exhausted soon into the climb, so we were forced to turn back and hike back out. It was still an amazing day, with the mountains in sharp relief and sunshine all day long, but we only got a few runs in after the long hike. Great workout though.
