Big Air

The WSI Big Air went down under the lights at the base of Whistler Mountain last night. The jump was super fun and it was awesome to session with some of our sports best competitors.

… In the sun

Spring skiing is in full effect here in Whistler BC. The temperature has risen and I even noticed a few brave souls skiing in t shirts. I personally busted out the sunglasses yesterday and went for some all mountain cruisers. Got to love those days when the sun is shining and the snow stays just cold enough that it’s not slushy. Today I’m taking a day off skiing to do some stretching and re ignite my stoke. Every now and then it’s good to take a day off to let the body heal and the mind wander.

Tantalus mission skunked

This morning Kye, Hjorleifson, Blake and I drove to Squamish in hopes of getting a heli drop in the Tantalus range. Unfortunately by the time we reached the lookout on Highway 99 too many clouds were lingering in our zone so we had to pull the plug. Hopefully this high pressure system sticks around for a couple of days and gives us an opportunity to try again.

Spring time, POV time

I’ve been rocking the POV helmet cam here at Whistler the last few days and I’m just learning to edit the clips together with my IMovie. I’m hoping that after this weekend sometime I’ll be able to post a quick edit with some of the lines I ski’d this week.

Today Callum, Kye, Nick and I made our way up the Stairmaster for a noon lap on Yusumi (I really should check around for the official spelling). The snow was good and we lucked out at the top of our climb when the light got good.

Spring is in the air. Hopefully the snow has been holding up in your neck of the woods. Get amongst it brethren.
