After passing out at 12am, today the plan was to wake up bright and early to slot in one more morning worth of skiing before heading back down to S.town. I have to say, it was hard trying to get up this morning. Was sooo tempted to just stay in and sleep more. It was pretty funny how ALL of us seemed like we were waiting for just that one person in the group to say "I am going to sleep-in" so that we can all just call it a day. hahaha! But troopers that we were, that didn't happen and so off we went for another day at the slopes.
Sore from the day before, today was not as good a day as the day before for skiing. Yesterday was actually really good, not too cold, new snow and not a lot of people. Today, it was actually above 0 C, and it was drizzly at some points. It looked like some of the higher runs were closed too, and man-made avalanches were happening every so often.
I think we went down 6 or 7 runs and then it was time to head back. Our lunch was good ol' KFC -- where they served poutine and hot wings! With today, this will mark the 4th time in the past 6 days that I have eaten KFC. I feel fat.
After lunch, we continued driving, and stopped by a Timmy's for some timbits and refreshments, and headed to the border.
At the border...
Officer (O): Hi, where you headed.
Us (U): S.town.
O2: Open the side door please (we were in a minivan so they wanted to see the faces)
O: Do you have anything to declare? Food, fruits, vegetables...
U: Nope. None at all.
O: (as the door is opening) ... Uhh... what is that (pointing to the grapes right in front of him as the doors opened)
U: Um... grapes... they are from Costco in Kirkland
O2: (picks it up) Oh! They ARE from Costco.
U: Err.. ya.... (at this point we are all like.. hrmmm.... oops... we are getting probes up our a55es... )
O: You can't take this back in (confiscates grapes) Do you have any other food or fruits or vegetables.
U: Err.. nope.
(O and O2 looks at us again... then lets us off)...
Funny experience thinking back...
Anyway, so we got back at the expected time, and so ends the Whistler weekend.
