Rider’s Blog: Day 12 - World Snowboard Day Edition
It was World Snowboard Day here in Whistler and how better to spend it than snowboarding. Being a Sunday in the lead up to Christmas, it was also super busy. It was really wet yesterday and rained/snowed most of the night. It snowed up top and rained at the bottom. Most of the mountain was pretty icy today but the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day up there.
I spent most of the day riding with Michelle. We spent some time hanging out with Shaner but didn’t really do any riding together. I rode to the village, to Red, to Emerald, to Creek - basically all over the place.
A highlight was definitely riding with our friend, Tommy, who lives across the road from us. He’s from the USA and he’s only in town for a few days this time. Tommy and Michelle spent a lot of time growing up together in Whistler. We went shredding last season and it’s always fun times. I remember him tumbling down an icy chute last season that I can’t seen to get out of my mind (he was relatively uninjured for such a big fall). We cruised a couple of runs then rode home. The lower half of the mountain was pretty sketchy due to the rain -> freeze -> ice, so I was happy to get home in one piece.
Lots of companies are also running demos up the top at the moment if you guys want to try some new boards etc. Worth noting, DC had a tent there with all their snow products (I don’t think there is any substance to the recent rumour).
