Woo hoo! After two winter seasons without skiing due to my knee injury (bad turn while playing basketball) and subsequent operation, I finally went to the slopes again today. It was fantastic. One of the best days of skiing I’ve ever had. Beautiful day; sunny, blue sky, not that cold, no queues at the lifts at all; really beautiful landscape. Very very nice!
I went to Stevens Pass, about 2 hours from Seattle. It’s not like the places I’ve been in Europe (it doesn’t have many lifts and the runs are short) but it was great for a first time after so long (my legs ache now :-). I have to go to Crystal Mountain next but I think I’ll first try to spend a weekend at Whistler (due to school holidays it was extremely busy this weekend).
Einar, I am waiting! You have to visit! Lifts were open from 9am to 10pm!!! I still haven’t stopped being jealous of the photographs Thomas has been sending me from the Swiss Alps but I’ll “repay” him with Whistler photos soon 🙂

Savas, let me know when you’re going to come up to Whistler and make sure you schedule a stopover in Vancouver so we can meet up. Hmmm, or maybe we can drive up there and have lunch at the Longhorn…
There’s no snow out east. None. I’m looking at green fields. 🙁
Will do Peter. Thanks!
