					<description><![CDATA[One of the best perks of being in Whistler for the Telus Festival is the demo days that go on each weekend. Anyone with a ID and credit card can check out the 2013 snowboards from a ton of brands at Whistler Mountain. I headed up despite all the crew riding Blackcomb and lapped Whistler for the day with my music and a couple boards underneath my feet to review. Since I was riding alone, I didn&#8217;t take much for photos and just enjoyed a peaceful day on the mountain in the sunshine. It was really good to have my ipod and headphones with me so I could just cruise and get a feel for boards. I ended up taking out Endeavor boards for the day, the Boyfriend and Colour Series got a good amount of ride time for each board. For the afternoon, I headed onto the Peak to Peak to get over Blackcomb for a ride down to Merlins to meet up with the crew. Blackcomb was definitely slushier and softer snow for the day but super fun to ride down and just haul! The night ended with the Big Air competition and watching from the sidelines with [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are many reasons to come to Whistler for the Telus Festival but one of the biggest reasons for me (besides the snowboarding) is the Pro Photographer Showdown. Photographers are able to capture so many amazing moments and at this event, they can compose their best images into a slideshow tuned perfectly with music that brings chills to the audience. It&#8217;s sold out every year for good reason, it&#8217;s the best photographers showcasing their best work for a chance at 10,000. The photographers this year were: Scott Serfas, Camilla Stoddart, Adam Moran, Brian Nevins and Jeff Patterson. Many of the names might be familiar because they are heavily snowboarding focused. Scott Serfas is the principal photographer with Art of Flight/Travis Rice, Adam Moran is the team photographer for Burton and Jeff Patterson is behind a lot of Snowboard Canada photography. Camilla and Brian were new names but really for me, wowed with their images. The crowd at the event is always amazing and stoked to be there. Within minutes there were familiar faces and hugs from the Endeavor crew. Later on, I ran into Kevin Sansalone and got to catch up with friends from evo during the night. When you [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Each season I have a goal of hitting 100 days usually it takes the full season from October to June to collect the big 100th day on snow.  However this season I was able to get out on the snow more often, taking full use of ride breaks and managed to rack in my 100th day in Whistler. Last night was the late fun party bender in Whistler, the drinks started after riding yesterday with evo&#8217;s Molly and Chris plus some of the TGR skiers Dash and Dylan.  It continued on through the night until I finally crashed at 4am and in typical snowboarder form, was up at 8am to pack, do breakfast and hit the slopes. 100th day, tired but ready for more! [singlepic id=8869 w=300 h=400 float=] Carrie joined me for the gondola ride up the mountain, we wanted to check out the demo day up on Whistler Mountain that would be going on so we headed up for a late morning session.  On the gondola, we started talking to the two guys Matt and Brian about their boards and them being from Seattle.  Brian had read shayboarder.com so it was rad being in a gondola meeting them [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the most popular events at the Telus Ski &#38; Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC is the pro photographer showdown and it went down on Thursday night at the conference centre (sold out as usual).  This was the first year that I bought a ticket in advance and made it into the show to see what the commotion was about.  The end result was sitting through amazing photography and everyone enjoying what photos can show &#38; tell to us. [singlepic id=8833 w=400 h=300 float=] 6 photographers were chosen to display a slideshow of their work presented with music to match, the shows entertain and inspire the audience.   The photographers this year were:  Grant Gunderson, Brian Bielmann, Yves Garneau, Jeremy Koreski, Mason Mashon, Erik Seo.  The photography varied from sports like surfing, snowboarding and biking to a mix of portrait and lifestyle shots.  Each photographer took their own take on what they covered and some brilliant shots came out of it. [singlepic id=8834 w=400 h=300 float=] Whistler&#8217;s local photographer Mason was the youngest on the stage, 24 years old and showcasing his work for the world to see.

					<description><![CDATA[The journey yesterday took longer than expected but it was packed full of fun stops along the way until I reached my final destination of Whistler, BC.  I arrived just in time to drop off my bags and pick up my friend Carrie before we headed to the Asymbol Exhibit and Opening Party.  The Asymobol exhibit unveiled featured work of Mike Parillo, Ari Marcopoulos, Jamie Lynn, Jeff Curtes, Scott Lenhardt, Danny Zapalac, Nick Russian, Tim Zimmerman, Adam Haynes, Matt French, Mike Blabac, Trent Mitchell and I AM Snowboarding.  It took the masterpieces of photographers and artists and created them into an art exhibit that snowboarders can relate to and share the stoke on. The opening party was filled with many of the pro snowboarders gracing the images but also many riders that support the cause.  We arrived early which ensured us entrance into the gallery and time to check out each work before the place was packed which didn&#8217;t take long. [singlepic id=8804 w=400 h=300 float=] My favorite piece at the exhibit was The Pass by Ari Marcopoulos featuring Bryan Iguchi and Johan Olofsson on Teton Pass in Jackson Hole Wyoming.

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s April which means it&#8217;s time to head back to Washington &#38; Whistler!  I try to hit up Whistler at least once every year for my favorite time of year, the Telus Festival when snowboarding meets music meets canadian beer.  This year the Grenade Games are doing their 6th year and 2nd year in Whistler which means quite the possibilities for trouble in the mountains. I&#8217;m flying back home to Seattle to take in a couple days with family &#38; friends before I head up to Whistler to end the remainder of my trip snowboarding and enjoying all the events going on in Whistler next week for Telus Festival. This trip gives me a couple new blog opportunities that I have in the works, I&#8217;ll be making stops and high 5&#8217;ing along the drive to Whistler.  The best part is I&#8217;ll be able to demo a brand of snowboard that everyone wants to know about plus do more on-snow demos on the demo day that goes on.  For the most part, I&#8217;ll be enjoying it all and stoked to come back this year. Washington Most of my Seattle time will be visiting family &#38; friends but it&#8217;ll also be a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made the trek to Whistler for the past 10 years and it is always an adventure, this year I remained in Whistler for 7 days which I wish lasted longer. I have plenty of Whistler stories but they all stay in Whistler, thank goodness for that! Each year I find myself less enjoying the nightlife and enjoying more of the on-snow events and time I spend with friends. This year was no exception and I found myself in the happiest place on earth for me&#8230;Whistler, BC for a whole week with a bed, friends and a snowboard. [singlepic id=5297 w=400 h=300 float=] Photo:  Kendra Tombu So this post is highlights from the trip and really an overview of a week in Whistler. The Best Moment I was standing in the customs line at the Vancouver Airport surrounded by pro snowboarders, in fact snowboarders in general stand out from the crowd. I&#8217;ve met MFM a couple times, always a nice guy and a pleasure to talk with, he was two people behind me in line. The woman behind me was asking him questions about snowboarding and what he did and how her son or grandson wanted to get into snowboarding. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The trip is winding down and coming to an end with today being the last day of snowboarding before traveling back to Colorado.  This trip hasn&#8217;t been about the nightlife, but just enjoying friends company and snowboarding together.  Today we were up early, to pack our gear up and get out of the condo for a day of riding.   Evo and Shayboarder stickering up the mountain [singlepic id=5383 w=400 h=300 float=]   I hit up the mountain with Mike, Kendra and BJ to hit up the demos and try out boards again.  Today I rode the Bataleon Riot and Drake DF One.   All of the boards plus others will be coming up in reviews soon.   I come to Telus Festival to ride the demo days, unlike other demo days they tend to be shorter and I end up taking the boards for only 2 runs each because of the lack of time and length it takes to get each one done.   I was hoping to ride a Burton as the third board today, but the reps closed it off at noon and my monster jacket was not winning them over.
