标题: Skiing Whistler with a Legendary Ski Group - Vancouver Ski Gang
http://www.skichinese.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7809

No need to talk about the snow condition!  It was not only good, but it was exteremly good!  I would say that it was the best ever snow condition I've skied in.  We were so lucky - super lucky - having huge snow dump just right before we arrived Whistler.  Almost 50 inches of snow have fallen, preparing the mountain and welcoming our arrival.  It kept snowing, snowing, and snowing ... day and night everyday while we were there!  Everyday was a powder day!  Every run was a fresh run!  The snow falling during these three days was fluffy dry powder - very different from the normal Whistler wet heavy snow.

In this trip, everyday we skied with the strongest chinese ski group - Vancouver Ski Gang (溫哥華滑雪幫), a legendary ski group led by a longtime friend McKay (aka pku) 掌門人 with some old friends (布萊恩, 湯瑪士, 來山德) and many new friends (西門, 德瑞克, 阿清, ... ).  The friends that we skied together in this 3-day ski trip included the following certifications: CSIA L4, L3, L2, L1, CASI L2, APSI L2, and PSIA L2.  The total number of friends that we skied together exceeded 20 people.

Day-1:  掌門人, 西門, 德瑞克, and some other friends skied with us, covering *all* mogul runs and trees (marked and unmarked) - in-piste and off-piste on the Whistler Mtn, especially those trees and mogul fields right under lifts (e.g., Big Red, Garbanzo, ... etc.)  After this whole day of extremely tough skiing, 我感覺兩腿快抽筋了!  (It was the second time that I felt that.  The first time was also on Whistler Mtn. - 8 years ago when I took the Summit Session training camp there.)

Day-2:  掌門人, 西門, 布萊恩, 湯瑪士, 來山德, 阿清, and many other friends (around 20 in total) skied with us, including CSIA L4 Akiko.  The ski routes were similar as that of yesterday.  Did it again!  OMG!  我昨天兩腿發軟還沒恢復!  Then I was able to follow the fast half group only half day.  In the afternoon, I switched to ski with the slow half group (, but we still skied moguls and trees - just not those extreme ones though).  In the end of the day, 我兩腿更軟了!

Day-3:  We skied with APSI Jan, barkely, and 愛莉絲.  這天我們可惜錯過了阿慢大師.  We went to Whistler Peak and skied straight down through Whistler Bowl.  We then went to Symphony, Sun Bowl, and Saddle.  After that, we spent the rest of the day on Blackcomb Mtn. including 7th Heaven and Horstman.

If my skiing off-piste at Jackson Hole with their school technical director (half day) got me the extreme experience for 100 points, this Whistler trip's skiing with 掌門人 McKay (the only best - not one of the best) chinese skier gained me 400 points (2 whole days) of the extreme experience!  I can't wait, and I am looking forward to skiing with the legendary Vancouver Ski Gang again next season in Alps.

看过另一个人写的游记，说你们20多人都是整齐的水平，他跟你们滑，最后滑崩溃了。

Envy much! So sad we can't even make this Big white trip for coming March Break, dreaming about this type of big mountain experience.

Too bad I have to work this March break.

Vancouver Ski Gang (溫哥華滑雪幫) 是我見過老中滑雪組織中平均功力與人數最高的集團 - 功力最高的是掌門人 McKay 和他的好友竹元晶子 ... 幫內其他的朋友許多是 CSIA L2 至少是 L1 ... 但是實際功力都大幅超出同級水平了!  掌門人滑磨菇與樹林功力已經超四級!  我和朋友是從美國東岸過去做客 ... 另外有一朋友是從澳大利亞 (APSI L2) 過去做客 ...

我在第一天結束之後腿就快抽筋了!  想想:  滑一整天超快速的 - 不是樹林就是極限大磨菇地的 off-piste!  而正常雪道 in-piste 只是用來連接一個 off-piste 與下一個 off-piste 之間 - 經過而已!

我在第二天免強跟了快速組半天而已!  下午我就告饒了 - 改跟慢速組 - 還是滑磨菇地 - 但是就滑比較正常的蘑菇就是了!

第三天溫哥華滑雪幫的朋友無法陪我們滑 - 所以我們與澳大利亞的朋友和 barkley 還有愛莉絲一快滑!  比較 relax ... 因為我前兩天雙腿快被打掛了 - 所以這個第三天滑的很醜!  (讓 barkley 見笑了!)

滑完這次 ski trip 之後 ... 我深深的一個感悟就是:  XSIA 的 level 根本不重要!  L2 的人不一定滑的比 L3 的差 ... 而 L3 的人不一定就比較牛 ... 真正的實力是不需要 XSIA 的 level 來證明的!  所以我當下就下了決心不去追求 L3 而改為潛心修練以擺脫世俗的 level ...

大师跟滑雪帮狂滑了两天，见识的都是高手，看到我滑才是见笑了。

Alice的说法，狂滑两天了，还把节奏姿态控制的那么好，真是高手。那天她玩儿的很开心。

上次阿慢问我，为什么看我滑有时很好有时很烂。我想如果我没体力了也能一直保持大师的turn shape，阿慢肯定不会这么问了

要不是G3带着走powder树林蘑菇，我肯定跟大师一起刷绿道去了

哈哈! 刷绿道是我的拿手絕活! 整天在滑雪學校裡我就特愛刷绿道 - 因為綠道的美眉特多!
