WHISTLER 2010/11 - The Community Blog
Nuh, today was seriously the deepest snow with the biggest base I’ve ever seen in Whistler. Our base it at 330cm and snow is still falling. 170cm in the last 5 days. Crazy man!
Sounds nuts! hope you are all having fun!
Heres my quick edit from Wednesday 
finney, you were up 3 hours ago? Haha it’s 7:30am.
25cm overnight again. I’m heading up first chair.
Have fun everyone! Krick and I did some awesome shredding yesterday. I’ll post more when I get back today. It’s so funny, there’s so much snow and everyone is too happy and exhausted to talk about it.

Thanks for ridin’ with us.
Yep, awesome day and awesome pick of lifts and runs! Photos came out ok, so will post up when I’m not on the mountain… or too tired to move, from being on the mountain!

Yep.. Always up just before 5am on work days 
No worries Krick, great riding with you!
Such an epic day out there today. Was anyone up there this afternoon? The lighting was just perfect, and I’ve never seen Whistler Blackcomb looking so picturesque. I was so bummed I left my camera at the house after lunch. The photos would have been unreal. It’s the main reason I’m opening this new contest, I want to see some epic photos…
Basically you have a week from now to post your best photos from the recent storm(s). The sun is coming out for the next few days, so get out there and get some photos. Best photo wins a a set of Dragon Rogue goggles and a Boardworld t-shirt. Photos must be posted into this thread by the end of Friday, February 25th.
Here’s a few photos from the last week (my photos are not in the contest)...

Yeh rider, they look great! Love the fourth last pic of the lines off the cliffs
I was at blackcomb today. 7th was still pretty good at some parts. But today it was like moguls galore for me, just moguls and bumps everywhere I go haha. So tired and knees hurting from doing that all day. But yeah, it was really picturesque today. Didn’t bring my camera so have to settle with a Blackberry =(
You have a week to get out there and take some photos. I’m taking my camera up today, it looks gorgeous outside. I’m heading up now before the weekends crowds get there.

Keep those ankles loose. Work your feet/legs independently over the bumps. Be soft on your edges, stay balanced, and ride through the bumps. Takes practice but much easier on the legs.

Which line?

Thanks Jez. I’ve been trying to practice to change edge quick after every bump/mogul (toe-heel-toe-heel). Kinda am able to do it on blue runs. Once it gets to steeper black runs, couldn’t change edge constantly. More like heelside falling leaf with the toeside turn here and there but not riding through the moguls like on the blue runs.
Here is a quick peak at Grande Finale and Doom n Gloom, Whistler, Thursday, Feb 17, with bottomless fresh!
Only two tracks down here: Me & Jeremy. Such a sweet run!
