Fissile Edit
On Friday four of us set off for Fissile from Whistler Peak to ski the Banana Chute and spend the night in the Himmelsbach Hut near Russet Lake. The good snow conditions and amazing light made for one memorable overnighter. Thanks to Shaun Gillis, Hans Christian Gulvik and Geoff Bate for the tour!

Skinning Up To Whistler Peak
Zoya and I decided to take advantage of the bright skies this morning and went for another day trip up Whistler Mountain, we called Turpin in Pemberton and he was down for an adventure and before we knew it we were driving towards the freshies. It had snowed a fair bit since Pierrot and I went so we were able to put our skins on earlier and ski out further at the end of the day. It’s always nice to have to work for your turns a bit because it makes it that much more special when the lifts do start spinning.

… 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.
Going Off in Whistler.
Hey hey,
It’s been snowing non stop since the 16th when I got back from Japan. I’ve been skiing everyday! Lately I’ve been getting back to my roots and re discovering all of my favourite lines on Whistler Mountain. In the last few seasons I’ve been getting more days on Blackcomb, so it’s been refreshing exploring new areas.
Yesterday I went snowmobiling up Sproat Mountain (south of Whistler) with Dan Carr. I had lots of fun looking for fun features and lines and skiing deep untracked snow. We spent all day on one lap and at the end we finished it off with a nice skin back to the snowmobile up top.
All this snow in town has raised our spirits here in Whistler after a considerably weak season. Keep an eye out for my next webisode with Epic Mountain Video, it should be out within the next few days.
Wanted to send my best to my bros Callum, Sean, Kye and Dane over in Nelson for Cold Rush. Get some boys! Hope the snow’s been good!
Have fun out there everyone, and play safe.
Ciao for now. :)
Snowing in Whistler!
The flight from Tokyo was long! The first couple of hours weren’t so fun do to some violent turbulence caused by our harsh tailwind. I got a ride up from Vancouver with Abma when I landed; sounds like he’s been lucky with snow this year having just come off 8 sunny days in Haines with Sean P and Eric H for MSP. It was raining in Vancouver and much to my delight the heavy water drops on the coast began looking more like big flakes the closer I got to home. Today I ski’d whistler and even got a little filming in between faces shots. Check back for my next webisode that should be online within a couple of days! Ciao for now.
