I hiked Whistler today.

[BigZero]

So today I slept in because it was my day off. It was about 2pm when I got up, only to realize that much of whistler mountain was covered in 20-30cm of snow. Even though the mountain doesn't open until the 22nd, i decided i had enough of waiting and it was time to hike. I immediately called up my buddies to see if they wanted to hike but they all bailed. So I decied to go solo. Never realized how out of shape I was but it was definitely one of the most rewarding days I've had this year.

Check out the pics.

On my way outta the house in upper village.

Start of my hike.

These bad boys ended getting destroyed by the many rocks toward the base of the mountain.

Excitement!

Heres a quick little vid I took, hopefully link works.

how long does a hike up whistler take?

 

[Capurnicus]

damn you were far up there, that must have been a really long hike dude!!

doing things alone sucks, but you can accomplish a lot.

 

[BigZero]

It would probably take about 8-9 hours of intense hiking. You get so out of breath its ridiculous.
