Whistler Blog 2010

The crew have arrived here in Whistler, slap bang in the middle of the Olympics!

We spent a couple of days starting to figure our way around the village, getting our passes, and sorting out our gear. Town is going off at the moment, with music in every square nearly 24 hrs a day, theatre shows, and TV cameras everywhere.

We've had a couple of days on the mountains. ..1 on Whistler, 1 on Blackcomb, trying to make sense of the HUGE amount of terrain. Give it a few weeks and we might start to get to know some of the runs!  The snow just keeps coming too.

The weekend will be a welcome time to rest our legs, have some drinks in the hot tub, and explore a little of this amazing town.

Its been a  tough and stressfull week of Level 2 exams, and has finished with everyone passsing! Yes, Level 2!! Well done to everyone, we've work hard and the results show.

The  night, no, weekend, was a huge celebration. It was also a chance to rest up a little, and get some more time on the mountain for plenty more fresh snow. The snow keeps on falling, with another 70cm in the last week.

The Olympics and here, and the town is going off! The buzz in town is amazing, and luckily the mountain is nice a quiet too! The snow is lasting and there is sooo much pow pow to track down.

This week is time to keep the party going, and get plenty of ride time too. We're spending some days freeriding, and will be getting some more freestyle coaching. Yes!

Today was a purely freestyle and cliff drops focus!

We ripped up Blackcomb Terrain Garden in the morning, practising some skills for balance and warming up.

We then took it up into the higher mountain, working our way up from some smaller rocks and lips, into some bigger ones!

We had at least a couple of feet of snow, and falling along the way was half the fun.

Check out some video of the day!!!
