Pre-season projects

October is a good month to get things done in preparation for the alpine racing season, and a quiet month here in Whistler for heading up the mountain.   Here is a view of our race venue "Ptarmigan" with Blackcomb in the background.

 

And, our ski club storage building "Garbo Hut", located at the top of the race run (and in need of some more cleaning up....)

 Al and his timing buddies set up some new timing stations along the race run.

Hmm, some deer were browsing near-by....

How did we get up the mountain?  Hiking would have been a good idea, but with all the gear it was more practical to use the ski club truck, and fortunately the summer road goes right by the race course.
