Christmas in Whistler with the Marshes

While I had to work Christmas week, I was still able to escape up to Whistler over the four day long weekend.  Tara, a good friend of mine from Bain (now en route to France to start her MBA at INSEAD) was up there with her family, and she suggested I come up and join her for a couple of days skiing.  It was great to get away, even just for a couple of days, lovely to meet Tara’s family, and we were even blessed with fresh snowfalls every night.  The snow was fantastic and I skied one day on Whistler and one on Blackcomb (I think I’m more of a Blackcomb fan – the terrain is more varied).  And hey the apres-ski wasn’t too bad either!!  It sure beats anything that Lake Tahoe has to offer!
