Giggle of the Day

I know you will find it hard to believe (or maybe you won't!), but while skiing on Saturday morning we made a wrong turn off the Solar Coaster Express chair and found ourselves on the far side of Blackcomb Mountain.  Being early in the season, several lifts and runs were closed so we were feeling a little anxious that we may find ourselves at the bottom of a run with a long hike back up to a chair.  To our delight, we rounded a bend only to descend upon the BRAND NEW Crystal Ridge Express chair....and it was opening day!  We were greeted by live music, an open ceremony and free Kit Kats!  This is the first new chair to be opened on the mountain since 1994 and we were one of the first to ski it....talk about a wrong turn that went right!
