whistler olympics

we got to borrow a driving pass up to whistler for the weekend. it was a beautiful day to drive the sea to sky highway, and traffic was really good.

at night, we lined up in the standby lane to get into the victory ceremony… and got in for free! we saw the medal ceremonies for men’s skeleton where canada’s jon montgomery got gold.

you can’t help but feel really happy for the athletes, no matter what country they’re from. afterwards, we watched a “fire and ice” show with snowboarders and skiiers jumping through hoops of fire doing tricks.
