Happy New Year! I hope everyone back home survived the heat wave on New Years Eve.
I've just spent the last few days at Whistler where the temperatures were below zero! But there are some things that are worth being cold for! The skiing was second to none. We had fresh dry powder on the first day and runs that seemed to go on forever. I skiied down the Dave Murray Downhill (albeit badly), a black run which will be the Men's downhill run during the 2010 Winter Olympics - pretty cool stuff!.
We had 8 Brits and 1 Aussie in our chalet. But that's not all. There were even more Brits on the mountain, either holidaying or working at Whistler. I learnt about salopettes (a pommy word for ski pants) and bacon butties (essentially a BLT sandwich without the lettuce and the tomato).
Apres ski activities included a cooking and washing up roster (brilliant cooking chefs!), people hogging the hot tub, drinking games and almost burning the place down when we accidentally left the mulled wine on the stove all night!

For those of you who couldn't join us, I've posted a video to make you jealous...
