Well, it's almost been 2 weeks since I've been in Whistler so it was time to bring out the ol' SunIce fluorescent jacket! I think I got this jacket about 15 years ago...I was obviously STOKED to have it (especially since my previous jacket had a fluorescent strip of fabric sewn on it...of which I also loved, don't get me wrong, Mom). Anyway, last year after Christmas, Donny and Tamara were visiting (trust me...I'll get on with it) -- we went to go play outside and when that happens in the winter ALL the old gear gets put out for all to wear. Tamara donned the SunIce and revived the fluorescent movement. From then on, it has been the only thing I ski in and it is really as awesome as it looks! The only kicker is that it has a short body but clearly, that is the most minor of offenses -- I get more compliments on this jacket then anything else I know! I have to add here too that my toque (made by my good friend Jenna in Maui) is also experiencing some fantastic adventures!
Ok, so, on Saturday afternoon, the Vanoc supervisors and the Sedexo supervisors headed up to the mountain for some old fashioned fun of tubing! There were 8 lanes ranging from Green runs right to Black Diamond! The Black Diamond runs were closed because they were too fast but the Blue runs did the trick. Like, it's no 93km/hr but it was super fun...and wow, what a beautiful night! Clear skies and fun times!
The other cool part was that we got to take the gondola up to the tube park -- that in itself was enough for me! I just love having adventures outside and especially under the lights! Super fun times! I was even able to take a picture en route down my last run (as seen below!). My plan is to be on the hill next weekend to take this jacket for a ski...and I can't wait! Donations to my season's pass can be directly deposited...I thank you all in advance! Seriously. :)

I do believe your jacket is by far the coolest thing on the mountain! wear it with pride that you were a true skier in the early 90's... ha more like the new "old school" look!
