Doing the Catskiing thing in Whistler, actually Powder Mountain, is the second half of the two week loop that starts and ends in Vancouver BC. The first week is in Blue River (see Heliskiing Wiegele blog posted January 12, 2009). Phil Wigglesworth and I arrived in Whistler the night of December 29, 2008 from Blue River. We stayed the entire trip in the home of Gord and Birgit Calder. I admire their bravery. Shan decided to join us on the 30th. Shan had been skiing in Colorado and thought a few days of Catskiing would be fun. We took over the Calder household. Mia and Sidney were totally displaced, but seemed to cope well. The Calder family is absolutely incredible and we all felt blessed to be able to stay with this great family. Gord is the genereal manager of Powder Mountain and Birgit runs the office out of their home.
