Ton went skiing in Whistler with Hans de Haas and his Dutch friend Frits Fischer who was in Vancouver on holidays. The skiing conditions were perfect on Sunday and Tuesday. On Monday it was cloudy and it snowed here and there but the skiing was great. The lower runs started to become very slushy so we downloaded to the village using the gondola. On Sunday we all got sun burned because we forgot to put sun screen on our faces.
We spent the Sunday on Whistler Mountain and Monday and Tuesday on Blackcomb Mountain.

a day of skiing we met Frans and Marieke Luit at the Longhorn Pub in
the village. We also had great fun with 3 guys from Finland. After having
a couple of drinks we had dinner at the Brew House. Frits didn't remember
what he ordered and ate (it was chicken stir fry) because the drinks had
gotten to him already. After a few more drinks we headed to the chalet
where Frits crashed on his bed and almost immediately went to "7th
Heaven".
