On Day 3, I awoke to discover that 30cm of fresh snow had fallen overnight. I jumped out of bed and gathered my things for a day of snowboarding. After collecting my lift pass, I headed toward Blackcomb Mountain where my new mate (the tour guide) told me was the best terrain in the area. Curious as to where the hot spots are on the mountain, I got on the chair lift with a ski instructor. I struck up a conversation and discovered that he too was an Australian and apparently there was a large Aussie community in Whistler. He directed me over to an area called //Seventh Heaven// where I discovered a deserted lift surrounded in deep, fresh snow! After enjoying the whole day in the deep powder, exhausted I headed down the hill, following the signs to Whistler Mountain for some Apres. I found a busy little bar and ordered some drinks, this time using the correct lingo to oreder, and again remembering to tip. After chatting with some friendly locals I headed back feeling very sore but satisfied.
