Day 25 - Continued……
Skied around with the kids for a couple of hours and it was good to see NoName Jnr slowly build some more confidence. We got close to lift close time so decided to head down to the base where we went our separate ways. We were meeting up again for dinner in a couple of hours but first back to the hotel pool for a dip. I had wondered how we would get back to Blackcomb base after ending the day on Whistler so it was a nice surprise to find out that the Excalibur gondola remains open to transport people to the mid-station which is next to some of the car parking. We took this option and just skied down from there. A nice way to get an extra run in.
Complimentary hot chocolate at the ski valet outside the hotel. A nice touch!

Back up to the room getting changed, down to the pool, 20 minute soak in the hot tub and then back up. Short and sharp. It was still very early but with our friend’s daughter being 5, dinner had been planned accordingly. Around 5:15pm we went back out and found the venue for the evening. Nice and close to us this time – Nagomi Sushi. This is located in a building across the path from the Fairmont so extremely convenient for us. Pretty obvious what sort of food they do so all that needs to be added here is that it was good and reasonably priced. Would definitely return. We ordered a bunch of plates (more than I could possibly photograph it seems
)for everyone to enjoy and got stuck in.

NoName Jnr insisted on a post-dinner swim so we repeated the routine of earlier. Another 20 minutes and we were done.

Back upstairs, shower and then bed for all. A great first day on the slopes and excited for more!
