We had another bright and sunny day, so the plan for today was the same as yesterday… more skiing!

Here’s Nadine taking a rest at the side of one of the runs.

We skied briefly in the 7th Heaven area of Blackcomb on our first day, and didn’t get a chance to go back there yesterday, as it was closed for avalanche risk for much of the day. Today it was open again, and I did a few runs up there.

When it was time for lunch, we again headed to the Rendezvous restaurant on Blackcomb.

As time moved into the late afternoon, we decided to call it quits and head back to the hotel to get cleaned up. This would be our last full day in Whistler, and we returned to Whistler village in the evening for our final dinner here.

We walked around Whistler village at night for a short while, and then returned to the hotel to start packing up. Tomorrow morning we return to Vancouver before moving on to the Rockies portion of our ski vacation!

The plan for today was simple.  Get up early, grab breakfast, and get on the slopes just as they’re opening for the day.

After leaving the ski valet at the hotel, we headed for the Wizard lift. Fortunately, the line ups from 2 days ago were completely gone!

The skies were clear and blue, and it was looking like today would be a great day.

We skied for the remainder of the day on Blackcomb mountain, stopping only for a lunch break late in the afternoon. Here are a few more photos from the day.

Here’s a short video clip of Nadine skiing on our last run of the day.

As is typical on our ski trips, we normally ski the first day and take the second day off skiing to explore the area.  As we had never been to Whistler before, we decided to explore Whistler Village.

The Whistler Village is divided into 3 areas.  The main village is in the centre, the upper village is just across the river, and the Creekside area (not shown on the map below) is a short drive south of the main village.  I’ve added a red star on the map showing our hotel.

After checking out the upper village, we walked over to the main village.  The walk only takes a few minutes through a pretty forest walk and over the river.

Once in Whistler Village, we wandered around and explored the various shops.

As large as Whistler Village is, I was expecting it to have more shops, restaurants and public facilities than it does. The large map is a little deceiving, since most of the village buildings are residential condos or hotels.

After wandering around the village for a while, we returned to the hotel to soak in the outdoor hot pools for the afternoon.

In the evening, we decided to return to Whistler Village for dinner.  We had heard good reviews about Hy’s Steakhouse, so were determined to check it out, and it didn’t disappoint.  I especially liked the Caesar salad made right at the table.

After dinner, we returned to the Gold lounge back at the hotel for drinks and dessert.
