Now I'm home, I just thought I'd give you all an idea of the time I've had. Here are just a few things I have learnt in Whistler:

1. Candaians are the nicest people. Ever. (seriously, you have no idea how polite they are!)

2. Canadian money looks and feels like monopoly money, especially as $2 is about £1 at the moment.

3. There are many, many ways to carry your skis; you're going to look terrible every way.

4. Yes, your skis/boots really do affect how you ski.

5. You can ski with your balance both too far forwards and too far back. At the same time.

6. You can get down a slope without falling over once and still not have done it right.

7. It doesn't matter what the conditions are, someone will always moan about them.

8. Lunch starts between 11 and 12, any later and you'll have some very hangry skiiers.

9. Apres ski is a vital part of any ski experience and shouldn't be missed

10. Your coat hood isn't just for the rain/snow, it can be used as an extra pocket if the elastic is drawn correctly

11. So can your trouser snow skirts.

12. Your helmet can and should be attached to anything to make room at the table (you will be stared down until you do this).

13. Without fail, you will meet someone that knows someone/someplace you know. The world is tiny.

14. Language barriers disintergrate when beer is added.

15. Literally everything is better with sweet potato in it (fries, soup, you name it!)

16. There are a million ways to kill yourself skiing, and you will hear about them all, in detail.

17. Beer pong is taken seriously by all nationalities and can be won in 2 goes (yes, I did that!)

18. Literally everyone on the slope will stop and watch what a helicopter does.

19. It is impossible to have a day without at least 3 conversations about the forecast and/or weather. Just try, you wont make it.

20. It is acceptable to wear walking boots everywhere, including with a dress at a club.

21. Goggle tan is a very real thing (the best is when it's combined with helmet tan)

22. Ski ballet is a very real thing ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_dTjxvqS84

23. As a ski instructor it is your job to convince children of things that skiers do (for example, chop vegetables with your skis, hunt for snow hippos)

24. 90% of your GoPro footage will be of you asking if it's on

25. The other 10% will be at a funny angle

26. You will both hit someone and be hit by the chair lift bar at somepoint

27. There is and always will be a debate between skiers and snowboarders - it will never be resolved

28. If you're a skier you will always be waiting for snowboarders to strap in or to get across a flat

29. Living in a ski resort turns everyone into kids on a snow day continually

30. This only gets worse when it actually snows

31. It is possible to do all the chair lifts on Whistler Blackcomb in one day

32. Everywhere there is to eat in Whistler is yummy, you literally can't order badly here (this sadly means you will also get fat)

33. Hot sauce makes everything taste better. Fact.

34. So does maple syrup

35. People always ask whether you prefer Whistler or Blackcomb - it is so hard to chose and your answer will probably change daily

36. There are so many runs here that people that have been here for over 15 years still haven't skiied them all.

37. Everytime you go in the Peak to Peak gondola that connects Whistler to Blackcomb someone will mention the guy that illegally base jumped from it and got banned for life. Every. Single. Time

38. It is possible to ski with an egg all day and not break it - yes, even I managed this

39. Skiing is the only reason it will ever be okay to be up before 7am

40. Whistler is amazing, and it is crazy hard to leave .....(don't worry Whistler, I'll be back!)
