Today I worked my first afternoon/evening shift at the Sliding Centre. It was very busy with finals in the Women's and Men's Skelton. On my 4th run the Load Supervisor told me that Richard Branson and his crew would be departing with me, but unfortunately for me they were delayed a few minutes, so I ended up with the president of the Swiss Bobsled and Sliding Federation. They say that close only counts in Curling and Grenades (ha).
Today was the 3rd straight amazing day in Whistler. There were no clouds in the sky and the temp was perfect for skiing (-4C). I skied for 3 hours straight and had a great time, getting in 10 or 12 runs. I have skied more than 50 days at Whistler over the years and this was certainly a top 3 day. The attached picture was taken at noon from the top of Whistler looking over at Blackcomb's 7th Heaven.
And ...to end the evening on a perfect note Jon Montgomery just won Canada's 4th Gold in Men's Skelton. ....Go Canada Go!!!!!
Tomorrow night will be crazy in Whistler when Montgomery receives his Gold medal. I will let you know how that transpires.
