Last of Whistler pics, finally

By popular demand, here are the rest of the pics from Whistler. Sorry about the delay. We got home and I got lazy (ier) and wanted to see if anyone was actually reading...

Kat loved playing with the doorstops in the Tantalus lobby. And walking her critters in their double stroller up and down the hallway, sometimes taking them up and down the elevator.....I was happy I brought it/them! Only mention of the pool (or hot tub) would distract her from her regular patrols.
Kat took this one of daddy (with a little help,but not much- she had the camera out and on when I found her!).
At the top of Franz's run.
I loved the snow glistening in the sun.
I taught Kat that better than a pool is the HOT TUB!!! She dug the hot tub.

A peak to peak chair coming out of the mist on Blackcomb.
A beautiful view- you don't always get to see it there.
This was a first in my 38 or so years of skiing. My right ski is completely stuck in the snow. I was having soooooo much fun gliding (floating) over the fresh snow-- my skis are made for those conditions-- that I got carried away and flew way up on the edge of the hill, where my skis promptly sank in over a foot of snow! And I fell backwards, laying down the hill. It was really funny, but unfortunately I had the camera so Dan didn't get pics till after the best shots had gone and I gave him the camera. He couldn't help me, I was on my own. It took a long time to get my boot free and dig out that ski. The snow was very, very deep.
The peak to peak- just 4 towers and an unsupported distance of well over 1 mile. But it looks extremely stable and sound.
From the gondola.
