good fortune shone on me sunday, and allowed me some free time to make a day trip up to whistler with my friends, darren and ty. someone forgot to tell the sun that we were coming, so 90% of our trip was fogged in. lots and lots of fog. so instead of taking the tram and seeing the mountains, we really just saw the village and the people. but it was awesome! and luckily, because i am learning on this trip that 'the secret' works, we were blessed with an appearance by the sun for the last 10% of our trip - and the pictures tell the story!
i am here to testify that the excitement and electricity that is building in vancouver extends all the way up to whistler - where a majority of the mountain events will happen - 2 hours north of the city!
enjoy the pictures from the day!!!!
me. vancouver 2010. nothing new here.
me outside the box office at whistler village. i am the one in the black coat.

another peak of the fog lifting...and a hint of the mountains that lie underneath.
i know that's what they call it, but i giggle everytime i see 'sliding sports.' hahaha. i just did it again.
i love the distinct fog line that cuts this picture (and mountain) in half.
more lifting fog....
looking up to the bottom of the run where they will be doing alpine skiing in creekside.
the official creekside signage.
the official creekside creek.

and then the 3 of us decided to set the timer and take a shot...although christy kept insisting she would take this one. i insisted NOT!
more of the clearing sky.
the arrival of the sun - on our way down from whistler.
