• Pete and Lana Bahnsen departed
Sequirn to Port Angeles, then ferried to Vancouver Island and Horseshoe Bay and then drove to
Whistler where we all joined to set up reception.
Reception was held in the Powder Lodge
Lounge, part of the Whistler Village Inn + Suites, from 3:00 - 6:OOPM with
lots of wine, soft drinks and snacks. Although I saw several cameras
there, I have not seen one photo from the evening. We must have all been
too busy and excited to do anything but drink, eat and relish the fact
that we were on a ski58 outing.
Monday, Feb 25
Most skied Whistler Mountain on a beautiful sunny day. Group of 10-12 joined Gene for the guided tour of one of our favorite NW get-away spots. Too anxious and excited for any photos.

The group relaxing in Joel's awaiting dinner. I believe that the look on Ken's face is because he is 'down' and upset because he has lost or misplaced his ski gloves.

Wednesday, Feb 27Today was a "free" day. Sadly, there was fog, low clouds, some snow and wind - gotta have at least one bad day on a ski trip — but for those who took the day off, there was shaping and Alpine Tea at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler in the Mallard Room. (Photos from Jerry) Apre" Ski and Apre' Tea was a gathering for an abundance of leftovers ofvmie and snacks in the Wilson's Loft at the Whistler Village Inn. :

Thursday, Feb 28The mountain of choice this week seemed to be Blackcomb. As many times as we have been there, this has varied due to snow and other weather conditions. But it is nice to have the option of two mountains at one location with the choice of lifts just seconds apart. And if you don't like one, come down the 5000' vertical and try the other one. :
Finally got a group together, L to R, Hugh Trumbull, Ann
Trumbull, Tom Morgan, Pete Bahnsen, Ellie Wilson, Gene Wilson,
Dick Schonberger, Sarah Edwards, Ken Herberger.

Dick Schonberger also got an award for "demo-ing" the most
parabolic skis during the week since the younger folks on the
slopes were telling him that his long 200s were giving away his
age... If you squint and use a magnifying glass, on the top row
you may see Dick depicted as "kickin' a__", "haulin' a__", doin'
an "a__ \vipe". Then on row two, you see him "kissin' a__", bein'
a "dumb a__", and then goin' "bare a__". On row three, he is a
"pain in the a__", is "a__ backwards" and then shows off with
his ski group as "a__-o-nine" - all in good fun.

All in all-I think a great time was had by all! |
