Peak Season Insider Blog, Episode 1×10 Plus A Special Video Message

Peak Season: The Finale

All good things must come to an end. Just like Christmas, your birthday, and a really good buzz, Peak Season is joining the ranks of these time-expired events. How do I feel about this? Right now I’m in shock in denial, the first of the seven stages of grief. On Monday nights, you can find me staring blankly at the screen for thirty minutes, remote in hand, laughing at who knows what. It’s like the phantom limb syndrome, and Peak Season is my missing appendage.

What happens:

I decided to switch it up a bit for the Peak Season finale. With the incessant repetition of  Christmas carols drilling in my head, being offended by a rude name and realizing it was just a fake Santa and shortbread, I’ve decided to make this a festive special. So without further ado, here is possibly the longest Christmas card ever written:

Peak Season Insider Blog, Episode 1×9

Posted by Joelle Tomlinson on December 9th, 2009

Amanda Peak SeasonPeak Season: Episode Nine

Some say you’ve made it in life when you pay off your mortgage. Others say it’s when you get married, or have children. Well I disagree. The surefire way to tell if you’ve made it is if your life has a censorship warning. How many other people in the world can say, “let’s hang out, but I gotta’ let you know, I may contain coarse language, sexuality and mature subject matter.” This should be Whistler’s new welcome sign.

What Happens:

Lauren: Muhammed Ali’s Ring Partner

In this day and age, it seems as though Facebook is the newest form of foreplay. Why put in the physical effort when a simple semicolon can do the trick? It seems to work for the hilarious Steph Weber and the newly-deserted Matt James. I like Lauren and Steph’s analysis of Matt as a potential prospect. Apparently he’s “cute but he’s Aussie and has a girlfriend.” Hopefully that statement isn’t in order of importance.

After Matt pushes Lauren’s hot buttons by insulting her and Scoot, she decides to abandon her anger management steps and let her fists do the talking. Unfortunately, I’ll admit to being notable distracted by the small dog growing on Matt’s forearm the entire time. After decking Matt with a right hook that would make Chuck Liddell’s knees quiver, Lauren is pulled away from the cursing Aussie. In fact, the whole spectacle is like a twisted version of Jerry Springer, but with better looking people. In fact, I was tempted to jump up and scream for Lauren to use her formidable hoop earrings as a weapon.

Scoot: The Social Butterfly

Scoot always looks so comfy in his oversized parka and hat. If I were to go strictly by clothing, the idea that opposites attract would be completely accurate. Lauren’s hard-edge leather jacket pairs perfectly with Scoot’s soft parka, and that, my friends, is my attempt at a relevant metaphor. These university classes are truly paying off well.

It’s too bad this eternal bliss doesn’t last forever, because Scoot can’t hide in the jacket forever. You know those couples in your group that seem to fight as a form of foreplay? They scream, yell, smoke fiercely and sulk, all the while having no clue what they’re mad about? Scoot and Lauren seem to have the textbook symptoms of being one of those couples. He leaves her in a sullen smoking mess to barhop to the Beagle (bar-hopping in Whistler is literally that, hopping a block away), and we’re left to wonder if this volatile couple will make it.

Peak Season Insider Blog, Episode 1×8

Andreas (Dre) MorelThis Week on Peak Season: Episode Eight

Mondays are the perfect day for my weekly dose of Whistler. Typically, I stumble around like a madwoman, scattering children and cute old ladies aside on the streets, with nothing to look forward to except Tuesday. I’m usually ashamed of my weekend, having thrown away any hopes of productivity as soon as Friday night rolls around. But, hark, what’s the only solution to making yourself feel better about yourself, thereby your boosting self-esteem on the dreaded day-after-the-weekend? Why, just find people that behave worse than you do, of course. Thus, Peak Season comes on the scene. I’m a true believer in fate. Monday nights plus Peak Season = the best combination since gravy, cheese and fries.

What happens:

Dre: The girl-whisperer.

It looks like we have a triple threat on our hands with this Dre character. He can DJ, he can snowboard and he can take lethal bites without even a grimace.

As Dre discusses last episode’s events with his friend, Jason, at the ski lodge, it becomes apparent that he is speaking in code. Tricky bastard. Thankfully, after scourging the internet for Whister-translation, I was able to translate his foreign language to common tongue.  Case in point:

Peak Season Insider Blog, Episode 1×7

Posted by Joelle Tomlinson on November 24th, 2009

Lauren HortonPeak Season Episode 1×7

I relate Peak Season to my friend’s cool parents who let me stay over to supper. Before you completely dismiss this seemingly far-fetched idea, hear me out. Do you remember those parents? The ones who let you watch television while eating, served pop with the meal and didn’t make you finish your vegetables. I never wanted to leave, but sadly, the moment would always come, when that last bite was taken, and it was time to trudge back home to your much-inferior parents. Now, instead of 30-minute suppers, it is 30-minute television segments in Whistler, and at 10:30 p.m. every night, I turn off the television with a sense of loss, and already looking forward to a dinner date for next week. This episode was more of a buffet (can you sense my hunger?). Peak Season this week brought love, chocolate factories, birthdays and brawls for dessert.

What Happens:

Lauren: The igniter of old flames.

Want to know how to tell if you’re hardcore? Take some tips from Lauren. It’s dumping buckets in Whistler and she is rolling around in a leather jacket. I’m wearing a sweater in my lukewarm condo, does that count as even a little fierce?

In this episode, Lauren admits to her best friend, Steph Weber, that she went home with Scoot and still loves him. The thing I really like about Lauren is how upfront and unapologetic she is for staying true to herself. There’s no playing around for this nose-ring wearing chick. When her and Scoot go out for a lovely dinner date, that’s when you see the delicate flower inside she succeeds in covering up most of the time. Playing with her hair, bringing up feelings and talking about love? I felt like she needed to punch someone in the face to make up for this unexpected overload of femininity. You can witness the inner battle in Lauren when she says vulnerable things like, “when you love someone you just can’t turn it off,” immediately followed by a very impressive swig of wine.
