I snowboarded for the first time this season. It was fun, but not particularly noteworthy. In fact, I don't know that I'll snowboard again for the rest of the season. I simply find that on any given run in any given conditions, I'd rather be on my alpine skis. They are more versatile, more fun, and I'm better at it. Ok, now that's out of the way, I'd like to mention that Whistler has the strangest weather/cloud patterns I've ever seen. This makes for excellent photo opportunities.
Today, it was raining and overcast in the village, and a brilliant sunny day at the peak. Somewhere in between rested a layer of clouds which made for some pretty cool light/cloud interactions. Several times I found myself frantically scrambling for my camera, not wanting the opportunity to pass. I'm no photographer, but here's what came of my desperate-pocket searching. As always, click to see the full-size image. Also of note, if you ever see a photo you'd like to keep, use as a desktop background, etc., open the full-size image, right click on the photo, and select "save as." You can then save the photo to any location on your hard drive and have it to keep.

This photo was taken at the top of the Creekside gondola. It looks like a black and white picture, but in fact this was taken in color.
Around 3pm the clouds and the sun conspired to make a hologram-like formation that was quite breathtaking. The photos, as usual, fail to capture the full effect.
See above caption, these two shots were taken in sequence.
