10 steps to an epic 40th birthday party.

Step 1: Go back to 1983 and make sure you are born in prime snow season

Step 2: Book a sweet place at Whistler



Step 3: Add really awesome friends (make sure they leave their really awesome children at home)



Step 4: EAT. 




Step 5: Wake up early and catch the 8:15 am gondola (side note: isn't it so much easier to get out the door without the kids?!)


Step 6: Find the runs with the best powder. 







Step 7: Note that signs that say "Cliff" sometimes means there is a cliff but also means untouched powder. Explore with caution.






Step 8: Finish the day having done 51 km and ski right to the front step of the chalet.

Step 9: Twice baked nachos and tuxedo cake are great après ski snacks. Pairs well with a soak in the hot tub and good friends.

Step 10: Make some unforgettable memories. Turning 40 isn’t so bad when you get to get old with good friends.
