Breaking the Silence

Welcome back! I figured it best to wake my blog from it's slumbers with a little time to spare before the Olympics, giving it time to rub the sleep from its eyes and grab a cup of coffee.

Lets see...quite a bit has happened since November, so I'll keep this brief. It has continued to snow consistently, giving good ol' WB over 3 meters of base!! Work has been steady, and we will be moving to a new location next week. It's a smaller space, but only a 15 second walk to the gondola and much more visible, so business should pick up. Things are well in Deerhorn place. We currently have 19 people, but it doesn't feel too crowded and we've had a lot of fun so far. The owners have chosen to re-carpet, re-linoleum, and generally overhaul the house to sell it in April (of course they couldn't have done this in July when the house was empty), so we've been mildly inconvenienced for repairs. But we do have new carpet...

So my close friend Polek made an epic video of the pre-olympic Whistler winter. Be warned, the soundtrack is explicit (but an excellent song I must say; he has good taste in music). The footage is superb--try not to be too jealous of all the snow. Included is footage of a tour Paul, Polek and I took up the Duffy Lake road earlier this month. Also, watch the movie in full screen HD! It makes a huge difference.



Stay tuned!!! I plan to continue writing throughout the games, and lord knows I'll have plenty of material to keep things interesting!

Hope all is well,
Andrew
