WHISTLER 2010/11 - The Community Blog
Great day up there today and was good to meet you Krick.. I’ll let Jeremy give the full report but in short my neck hurts haha
Are you saying Krick and Jeremy are a pain in the neck 
We had such an awesome riding day of riding on Whistler Mountain today. We received a further 10cm of snow overnight and probably a bit more than that in the alpine. The temps stayed relatively cold and the sun came out in the morning. I went up on close to first chair and met finney early so we could slash some pow. The high alpine was closed in the morning for avalanche control, as expected. This gave us some time to do a couple of warm-up runs through the trees to Emerald Chair. After a couple of runs we got in line at Peak Chair. Surprisingly the lineup wasn’t too bad. Even better, the lifty announced it could be a while longer, so half the lineup infront of us cleared out.
We had a good run down Shale Slope then decided to move on to Harmony and Symphony, as the lineup at Peak Chair grew considerably. We had a brief catch-up with Krick at the top of Harmony, but unfortunately he ran out of time so couldn’t ride with us. I’m just going to cut to the highlight of our day…
We decided to hike up Flute Bowl and I’m so stoked we did! The snow was deep and fresh and we had an unreal run. finney cartwheeled a couple of times on the way down, which is the pain in his neck he is talking about. 
I took up the GoPro today and mounted it with the strap to my helmet. I’m going through the footage now and hopefully I’ll have an edit up soon.
Fun, fun, fun day! 
Dan, how was Fresh Tracks?
I can’t wait to get Jeremy’s run down on the day, it’s gonna be good.
I had one of my best days up for sure. Beautiful blue bird day with a nice coating of snow, particularly in the alpine. Had a good group to ride with which was sweet. I pushed myself more than ever since my knee injury and had no pain 
Was so stoked!!!
Started by getting the gondola up nice and early for fresh tracks. Had a tasty feed then hung around emerald, finding a cool tree run. As soon as peak opened we shot up there (just behind Jeremy and Finney apparently). Had some glorious views up there - first time I’ve been up on a clear day. After that we went straight to Symphony a bit before the crowds. Wow! Rode everywhere especially over at Rhapsody Bowl. Was epic! My new favourite chair.
Beat me to it
Can’t wait for the footage! Especially the stack!
That’s awesome mate, so stoked your knee is feeling better! Next time you’re coming up Flute Bowl with us to make it even stronger.
The footage turned out well, a bit shakey at times, but I don’t think there’s much I can do about that. I’ll get it up soon. 
Cheers mate
I definitely want to do flute.

Reckon finney ended up with a bad neck from trying to find me - took so long I ran out of time to ride.
I am so jealous it is ridiculous!
Clearly, I would have been wwaaaayy late if I’d joined you for the (still insanely awesome) visit to Flute.
We hit lower Flute earlier in the week - clearly I have to get out there and do it properly soon!!!
Yes you do. Maybe we can have a ‘Boardworld Hike to Flute Day’.
New edit from Family Tree…
New edit from a day in whis park this week
Great vid cam 
Also, who is keen for boardworld dinner and drinks?
I know Jeremy has been talking about it and I think it’ll be good to do it again sooner rather than later. Sunday night would be ideal from the benchlands boardworld house as we’ve all got mondays off.
Is this Sunday a little too soon? I know next weekend is presidents w/e so the village will be packed with american holiday makers and the following sunday I’ll be in big white along with pete (rah).
Sunday evening could be on for sure. I have a friend arriving from Australia on Sunday or Monday, but either way he won’t mind coming out. Happy to do it…
And… IT’S SNOWING! I’m heading out for a shred soon. Tomorrow and the next few days are going to be epic. I’m going to wax my boards tonight. 
Boards are waxed here too.
Just got to figure how to squeeze out the max hours on the mountain now…
I can’t find our waxing iron! Ahhhhhh! 
I think Michelle’s brother lent it to someone…
