What a fantastic day! Another bright day with beautiful sunshine and no wind: Whistler at its absolute best!
We divided into our 3 groups, 2 being led by the Whistler/Blackcomb ski school guides and the other by Nick from Ski-Independence and set off by 9am with our Flaik tracking devices set up. After a beast of a morning, one of the groups had managed to ski over 32,000 feet – an incredible feat given the snow was starting to melt, even on the tops of the highest mountains, due the the incredibly warm temperatures.
Despite this, all the groups hit their targets and some were able to exceed them with the middle, but highly charming, group of Tigger, Mike Laver and Stuart Martin managing to ski 37,919 feet in the day, skiing over 40 miles in the process. The group doing the Silver challenge of 100,000 feet in the week managed over 26,000 feet today – a fantastic amount. The top speed of anyone in the groups was over 44 miles per hour – a bit brisk by any standards.
Tomorrow, the forecast is rain so all the excess feet we managed to achieve today will be very helpful.
