Whistler Village stroll with Lights
Today the crews all started to arrive. Many of my long time crew members and long time friends today after their Olympic training session arrived on the mountain. Helen Brown from Campbell River brought her husband Casey to work with us for the first time ( I think he realized that Helen was just having way too much fun), Greg Stoddard who started working with me over 15 years ago arrived and is now leading his own crew, and Steve Nader from Toronto arrived also to share in the excitement of the Olympics. The crews are all filling out and settling in and should be ready for the next three days of work building all of the required safety systems along the race course.
The sun shone most of the day and I can feel the sunburn and wind burn on my face as I sit here putting this blog together. Its was still cold and it is crystal clear tonight which will help to set up the race track and make it even harder.
The Weasel House opened tonight for the first time. Weasel House is a 6, 000 sq. ft. sprung structure "tent" that is the hospitality centre for all Apline Course workers and a symbol of the connection of the Whistler Weasel Workers to designing and building ski race courses at Whistler. The Olympics are so gald to have us and all of our experience.
Till tomorrow
Gerry
