Free Day!

Free in the fact that we can do whatever we wish, not that we had to pay for any of the other days (expensive?)

Seems like the most popular thing planned for today is the Ziptrek eco tour... everybody's doing it these days.. so if you didn't do it then YOU AREN"T COOL!

Nah i'm just kidding, you Golfers, ATVers, Jeepers, Shoppers, Sleepers and whatever else you guys did are cool too!

So the Ziptrek tour is kind of what it sounds like... a trek on ziplines.  Unfortunatly we didn't get to set any phasers to stun, but we did get to set them to ZIP! (lame)

This tour offers 2 treks, the bear run and the eagle (EXTREEEEEEMEEE!) run.  Anybody that was EXTREEEEEEEMEEEEEE did the eagle, which really wasn't all that EXXTREEEEEMEEEEE.... but probably more so than the bear run.  So anyway they take a group of 10 people on this trek into the forrest... first they get you in your cool zippy harness thing, then stuff you in a van to go up the mountain a bit.  At the beginning of the course we got some cool facts and trivia about the surroundings and what not... I doubt anybody listened since they were thinking about zipping around, or plumetting to their death.

We started on zip 1 of 5 (obviously) and it wasn't too bad... got you use to the whole thing.  From there they got bigger, longer, higher and faster.  In between each zip the guides talked about more things like how the trees were bazillion years old and how us stupid humans are destroying the earth.  It's actually really informative from a sustainibility standpoint.

Line 4 of 5 was 2200 feet long and got up to like 70kmph or something crazy.  Line 5 they encouraged us to do a backflip and zip, which we all did because we are EXTREEEEEEEEEEMEEEEEEEEEE (and cool)

So for all of you visiting Whistler I reccomend you check this out if you like being outside, like depressing facts about how we kill our planet, like hanging 100s of feet in the air by a cable while you speed across to another tree and like spending 100 bucks.  (It was worth it, seriously)

The rest of this day was spent wandering the town of Whistler and buying lots of stuff!.

SEC Finale dinner and presentations coming soon... :(
