Day 12: Whister Walkabouts and Women's Bobsled

After the double-curling day, we spent two days up in Whistler....with Pam and I taking in Runs 1 & 2 of the Women's Bobsled. Canada would go on to win Gold and Silver the next day.

Whistler Edge Pass

Just picked up as set of EDGE Passes for Beth, Jen and I…so its for sure that we’ll be hitting the slopes in Whistler! Pam’s decided to take a knee and wander around Whistler for the day…

The EDGE Pass is basically just a reloadable card that acts like a seasons pass. The minimum is one day, so with the associated discounts it brings, going this route will save us $30-$40 off the costs of a lift ticket, rentals, peak-to-peak gondola etc. We just have to hit the Customer Service desk when we arrive in Whister on Day 12!

Should be good! I’m super pumped hit the mountain….hopefully I don’t make a jackass out of myself!
