This morning we head for breakfast in the quaint & charming lounge of the charming & quaint L "Hermitage hotel. We avail ourselves of the buffet, including the wonderfully delicious smoked salmon. I update everyone with news from The Times & find the sea foam video clip for the Malsters. Jo has decided that we're all heading o... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747921&go=magellan Thu, 7 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747813&go=magellan Up at 7am, breakfast of oatmeal, cinamon toast watch of resort TV...or that's what you were expecting me to say...Actually we get dressed & head over to the Westin for a final resort blow out. It's mainly as we remember it, get seated & both sign up for the works. Start reserved with a spot of cereal, move onto the eggs, salmon, bacon & sausage course. While up at the hot buffet we spot the most a... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747813&go=magellan Wed, 6 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747631&go=magellan Right Olly you're on, you're coming skiing with us next time. You can bring nan & pops too, they can start you on the greens, then auntie JoJo & me can take you down the double diamonds. Just don't bring those welks mum & dad. Sorry to let you down Mikey, couple of factors, a) we've focused on the off piste this year so not as many runs or high speeds, b) I just don't stand still long enough for ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747631&go=magellan Tue, 5 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747511&go=magellan Yes Jem aren't the seniors looking good. Got some bad news for you though, nan & pops aren't coming home, they've decided to bum around the ski resort for a few months. Dad's going to be a liftie & mum's working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. In a remarkable turn of regularity we're up at 7 o/c & have breakfast on the sofa with music on the iPad & resort TV on mute. Head out to the Blackcomb go... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747511&go=magellan Mon, 4 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747418&go=magellan Ok, ok, Rachael I'll make a snowman, gosh this readership is hard to please. Jo, The Malsters & me send our love back. Yes mum & dad we are looking after Edna & Paul, we've taken them out & watched them ski. Glad you're having a good time too. Surprise surprise, we actually made it through to the end of War of the Worlds, especially amazing since there are adverts every 5 minutes. I think the lat... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747418&go=magellan Sun, 3 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747302&go=magellan A very fair observation Mikey, other than the fall, smoke & beer count there has been a lack of mountain based statistics. As if we're psychically linked there is a new Dave Murray record in the metrics below.Alarm goes off at 6:30 & just as Jo is raising her boot she realises that I'm not making breakfast today, the mountain is. Well actually the Roundhouse is as we're indulging in Fresh ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747302&go=magellan Sat, 2 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747203&go=magellan Sleep through to 6:45 so snuggle down for a final 15 minutes until the alarm goes off. Only it doesn't & as the time passes 7 o/c Jo becomes impatient & hoofs me out to make her breakfast. Have a juice & sit while we scope out the conditions today, as the weather was so bad yesterday we're considering taking the day off (& that would mean Westin breakfast!). Anyhoo, the forecast is possitive & we ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747203&go=magellan Fri, 1 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747072&go=magellan Alarm goes off at 7 o/c, shortly followed by Jo's foot in the small of my back kicking me out to make breakfast. Back to the usual routine of oatmeal & toast, accompanied by news from The Times & music from Vivaldi. Kick ourselves up from the sofa, jump into our togs & get out on the mountain. The web cams are not looking too inspiring & it's raining in the village but we are forever hopeful. Fing... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2747072&go=magellan Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2746959&go=magellan Good to see you're still with us Dr Dwomoh, wouldn't be a blog without you. Yeah our thoughts are with their family too. Up at the usual 7am this morning, toy with the idea of fresh tracks but neither of us are feeling particularly energentic first thing & the web cams from the top are not looking too promising. We do however, feel the need for a change of breakfast scenery, even though we sent... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2746959&go=magellan Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2746859&go=magellan Meander through the night until 6:30, when I know I have to get up to make Jo's breakfast before she arrises from her slumber demanding feeding. Watch of the Vancouver news & read of The Times over breakfast, terrible story about a couple knocked off their tandem & killed in a police chase in the West Country. Suitably fed & caught up on the news we head to the Whistler gondola about 9am. Up at... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2746859&go=magellan Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:00:00 GMT
