You never know who you can meet on the chairlift..
So far the Games experience has been a lot of fences going up, lights on trees in the Village like Christmas on steroids and security at the post office. Oh yes and increasingly limited parking.
On red chair and heading up for their first day skiing Whistler are John & Mitch from the Armed Forces working security for the Callaghan back country. Not only the first day at Whistler but also Mitch's first day on skis.
It was really an awesome first day both for the views but also that nicely groomed hero snow for the learning experience as well. I guess all those years of the Dave Murray coaches yelling at me finally paid off. I did remember a few of those instructions and have a chance to yell them at someone else.
A fun day and a taste of that Olympic experience everyone talks about. They will have binoculars on your at the Callaghan events so wave! |
