Whistler was fantastic this year. While I will be sure to post more pictures later, I had to share this gem from the bravest idiot on the so-called "10 Percent Ski Trip", my dear friend Mike Simanek. Background: Two days prior Mike Simanek and John Hebda had fallen on Pakalolo, a 45-50 degree double black on Blackcomb. They fell independently, but during their slide the length of a football field, they somehow latched onto each other, clutching like schoolgirls. (OK, not really, but I wanted to say "schoolgirls".) On Sunday Mike tried Pakalolo one more time - Simanek's Revenge, if you will. Unfortunately his fate was repeated but included the special bonus of a collision with a sapling.
