A day off from work after 8 days straight thats celebration in itself, but today well today was just so fantastic. I started out skiing in the morning, met a workmate randomly on the chairlift and discovered the peak chair was open early. Hmmm what had I wanted to do all season, well the saddle run of course though I'd been too scared up till then to give it a go. So off they headed to do some mad runs off whistler bowl and I skiied over there. The one thing everyone had warned me was that it looks so narrow and so steep but isn't too bad once you start off, so in true Lisa style (ha ha) I didn't stop and give myself the chance to get too nervous just blasted it. It was awesome!!! I remember having lots of giggles out loud to myself and couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Yeeha this is what skiing is about, improving, pushing fears and loving that adrenalin feeling of a good run. Then I went over and explored harmony and symphony ticking off a few more new blue runs and even a couple of blacks, thought skiing on my own I was enjoying every moment as it was super quiet for a sunday and I felt I could go at my own pace.
After a good solid 4 hour morning session it was time to head home for a quick change. I met up with the meet up group to head to the skookumchuck hotsprings. On the way we stopped off to hike in the snow out to Nairn falls a short hike but with so much snow it was beautiful with all the ice, snow and rushing sound of the falls. The hotsprings themselves are quite peculiar all really hot to relax the muscles but rather than just complete natural rockpools they've tapped the water into various shape spa's and tubs kinda weird but with the snow around and just ourselves utterly relaxing.
Back home late and one happy smiley girl it was a great day out. Even having Owen Wilson the movie star come into work the next day couldn't compete with the day I had.
