Whistler Day 2

Comments (0)
Well, it's obvious that the decline of the U.S. dollar isn't just hurting us poor Americans (I know you feel bad for us).  We had dinner at the Brewhouse in Whistler last night and our $16 burgers (Canadian or U.S. they're the same now) came with barbecue sauce but that was about the only thing.  A charge for Ranch Dressing showed up on our bill ($0.50)... what?!?!  It's not really about the money, it's about the nickel and diming.  If you can't sustain your business without charging for a few extra condiments, charge more for the food.  The beers weren't cheap but like I said, it's not about the money... we had our fair share.

We hit the mountain again this morning around 11am.  They weren't willing to hold up the Womens Super G just for us this morning so once again, we missed the races.  On the bright side, it did snow... about a half centimeter.  The overcast sky made it difficult to see but eventually the clouds broke and we had some great views.

In theory we're having a mellow night at the house tonight so we can get up early enough to catch the men's combined and maybe make our way to Blackcomb.  We'll see.
