The Apex Ski Resort is up near Penticton and is a great ski hill.  First, the snow is great, and there are tons of wild runs of every level, but best of all, there are virtually no line-ups for the lifts so you can get in as many runs as you would like.  I asked one of the liftees to recommend a classic Apex run and gave it a try.

I went up to the Apex Ski Resort to check it out and find out what make it unique.  Turns out that Apex has a great little village area and a really relaxed atmosphere, everyone was really friendly.  There's also tons to do at Apex if you want a break from skiing, or its just too late in the day to get started.

Opening Day of the Peak 2 Peak Gondola was Friday, December 12.  The gondola sets all sorts of world records as it travels from the top of Whistler Mountain over to Blackcomb.  I took a ride on opening day and shot this video of the event.

I managed to get a Media Pass to the opening of the Peak 2 Peak Gondola in Whistler so I shot this footage of the ceremonies and some of the people that were up there on that snowy day on top of the mountain!
