Whistler

It was Whistler for us this weekend, with the primary plan to watch the Paralympic downhill on Saturday and ski on Sunday. We pulled on our Canada gear and Scott added a Sumi hat to the mix, we were ready to cheer on the team.


But the weather gods intervened, and after spending three hours hangin' out at the Creekside grandstand, the downhill event was cancelled. Boo...

It wasn't so bad, though, 'cause we got to spend the morning gossiping with Kim and Kim and Jen, then Scott did a little 'see-being-seen' with his good buddy Sumi:


After having our own ski day on Sunday (sweet, sweet, soft snow!) we headed into the village and popped into the Paralympic Igloo to see what's new in prosthetic devices. Lots, it turns out. Plus, a new all-terrain wheelchair converter means a few more people can start exploring past the pavement. Pretty cool:
