Hey everyone. Sorry for being MIA for a while. I just got back from a week long snowboarding trip to Whistler/Blackcomb mountain in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. It was a long trip from Baltimore, Maryland, but boy was it worth it! The feeling of riding in 3 feet of fresh powder more than a mile high from the base of the mountain can only be described with one word - heavenly. There is no question why Whistler is by far the best mountain in North America. I am happy to say that the only injury I sustained was a blister on my pinky toe.

We drove through Vancouver on the way up to the mountain. I was hoping to spot John Chow along the way, but alas he was nowhere to be found. I must have missed some of the culinary hotspots that John tends to frequent.

As an American, I was definitely in the minority at Whistler. There were a lot of Europeans and of course, Canadians. I was especially surprised by the number of Australians that work and play at the mountain resort. One night, I really thought I ran into Darren Rowse at a rowdy Irish Pub. Then I realized it was only Moby.
