Since the Grenade Games Superpipe Finals didn’t start till noon, I hit up the mountain to get to the on-snow demos going on at Whistler Mountain for the morning.   Here’s my write up on the Grenade Games Superpipe Finals  The perk of being on the mountain early was I got to enjoy the Peak [...]

I got my first taste of riding east coast conditions but on the west coast.  The riding at Blackcomb was super icy and could hear the scraping sounds the entire morning on any run.  Luckily for us it was the day to watch Day 2 of Grenade Games with the Dual Slalom Mogul course and [...]

If you haven’t made it to Whistler during the Telus Festival you are truly missing out.  It’s my favorite festival and every year I make the trek out to spend a weekend to a week in Whistler just to be a part of it.  This year the Telus Festival expands and ends with the Grenade [...]

This winter has been really busy which is great but also a lot of time away from home (also great and sometimes bad). I know my dog Capita misses me and my friend Amy tells me that her heart breaks every time I leave town. It does make me appreciate home when I’m here. Between [...]
