Ten days and ten nights of spring riding, après, burn-the-candle nightlife and culture throw down the ultimate challenge – do you have the stamina to ride the sweet spot where sport, arts, music and partying collide?twssfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05193587336034871575noreply@blogger.comBlogger851100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-91444202864182879552010-04-19T09:11:00.000-07:002010-04-19T09:51:56.182-07:00Last night was the movie premier of Follow me.

No worries though! Everyone said screw you mother nature, the course crew took care of the soft snow and the show began! Funky costumes (a raccoon, Mario and Luigi, a bunch of mimes) and colours, big air and big tricks is what was in store for everyone. Even face paint and electric guitars! All the athletes threw down hard! The hip was definitely the way to hit it big!!! K2 scooped the gold in the end!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39991321@N05/">James Healey Photography</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4530358814_840a60cb76_o.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4530358814_840a60cb76_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4001/4529501083_e891f19355_o.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4001/4529501083_e891f19355_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/4530358548_3b5269cd07_o.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/4530358548_3b5269cd07_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4529727651_3f633eac04_o.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4529727651_3f633eac04_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4529500739_9e90018421_o.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4529500739_9e90018421_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4529536247_43b5f93867_o.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4529536247_43b5f93867_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-5506396605354637312?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Healeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02394529905877043733noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-44525035149361721582010-03-26T12:31:00.000-07:002010-03-26T12:31:05.962-07:00It's the ski industry's most infamous Anti-Comp - a slopestyle event like no other. With its “break all rules” attitude, costume-clad competitors, on-hill shenanigans, co-ed team format and 6 year history of being the funnest comp on the planet, the Orage Masters 7 offers the freshest take on skiing as a team sport that you’ve ever seen.<br /><br />But where did it come from? Who could have dreamed such insanity? TWSSF checked in with Orage's Mike Nick this summer for an historic perspective.

Most arrived looking, well, like they hadn't slept in seventy two hours. A few arrived looking freshly showered  and surprisingly put together. A few poor souls arrived with video cameras in hand, telling tales of technology gone awry. The finished film was there, right there, in the stupid camera, they just couldn't get it out. As the last few minutes ticked away, cars came screeching up to the center, spilling out frantic filmmakers who ran to the door, desperate to beat the clock. The results of all that work will be there for everyone to see at the Filmmakers Showdown events.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgaQJ8MI/AAAAAAAAAII/3viMWQzG7YY/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_113332_Whistler2008_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgaQJ8MI/AAAAAAAAAII/3viMWQzG7YY/s320/April+14,+2008_113332_Whistler2008_0012.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661355045155010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgqQJ8NI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/fZUWNBr3XFU/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_115348_Whistler2008_0014.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgqQJ8NI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/fZUWNBr3XFU/s320/April+14,+2008_115348_Whistler2008_0014.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661359340122322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgqQJ8OI/AAAAAAAAAIY/lAixC5D6AVc/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_120146_Whistler2008_0025.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhgqQJ8OI/AAAAAAAAAIY/lAixC5D6AVc/s320/April+14,+2008_120146_Whistler2008_0025.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661359340122338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhg6QJ8PI/AAAAAAAAAIg/85o_0caaeTg/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_120433_Whistler2008_0031.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhg6QJ8PI/AAAAAAAAAIg/85o_0caaeTg/s320/April+14,+2008_120433_Whistler2008_0031.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661363635089650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhXKQJ8LI/AAAAAAAAAIA/c2imT5xcEa4/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_113137_Whistler2008_0011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhXKQJ8LI/AAAAAAAAAIA/c2imT5xcEa4/s320/April+14,+2008_113137_Whistler2008_0011.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661196131365042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhSaQJ8KI/AAAAAAAAAH4/GTKSBqVcWRg/s1600-h/April+14,+2008_112427_Whistler2008_0008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAVhSaQJ8KI/AAAAAAAAAH4/GTKSBqVcWRg/s320/April+14,+2008_112427_Whistler2008_0008.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189661114526986402" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-4457932558561423167?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charlie Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01161098603612590795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-22158299538526933542008-04-15T10:33:00.000-07:002008-04-15T10:41:00.639-07:00The finalists for tonight's 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown Gala Screening have been announced.<br />They are:<br />"Dirty Dirty Sweet" by Adam Besse<br />"Arbitrarily Pear" by Robjn Taylor<br />"Smash Blast Fast" by Elizabeth Thompson<br />"Sandman" by Andrew Huculiak<br />"Red Revenge" by Denny Dias<br />"4" by Jonny Fleet<br />"Bigger Than Us" by Christian Sander<br />"The News" by Danielle Lewis<br />"Le Glove" by Jimmy Vegas<br />"Slade the Mermaid" by Allan Crawford<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-2215829953852693354?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TWSSFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07935978740269710336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-7014139487864510952008-04-15T10:30:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:23:00.329-07:00On Day 3 of the festival John Butler Trio dominates the stage.

I could have stayed there all night, but I had to check out the show at Moe Joes. What a cool bar. Great music, friendly bar staff, cold beer, and of course the always eye catching Kokanee girls! If you haven't seen the Brave Art show, put your beer down and go! There is nothing boring about this art. This is blow-your-hair-back stuff, and several of the artists have local connections. So, don't just go, go and buy something! Put real art on your walls! Get out there people and support these amazing artists! And by the way, if you want a printed copy of the novel that resulted from the collective novel project, you better be prepared to beg - I tried to get one, and all of the printed copies are already spoken for (I did manage to finagle a disc with the digital version, so you might be able to find one of those...maybe)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAPTC6QJ8EI/AAAAAAAAAHI/6aKrfcIoYDI/s1600-h/Whistler-0057.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Musicians, snowboarders, skiers, visual artists, writers - I have never been around so many creative people in one place. The Collective Novel project - a literary and visual arts collaboration was a huge success and the reception that celebrated the successful project reflected that success. Just one more indication of just how cool the TWSSF really is. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-5029181018936145208?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charlie Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01161098603612590795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-12960096224493744182008-04-13T12:05:00.000-07:002008-04-13T12:17:36.587-07:00<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqD0sZMI/AAAAAAAAAm0/zKKMLYYK0Gk/s1600-h/DSC07446.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqD0sZMI/AAAAAAAAAm0/zKKMLYYK0Gk/s200/DSC07446.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188810498823185602" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqj0sZNI/AAAAAAAAAm8/mlOGtqoUXfw/s1600-h/DSC07455.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqj0sZNI/AAAAAAAAAm8/mlOGtqoUXfw/s200/DSC07455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188810507413120210" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqj0sZOI/AAAAAAAAAnE/h8drlBLZo8w/s1600-h/DSC07457.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_bqRsAeK4Mpw/SAJbqj0sZOI/AAAAAAAAAnE/h8drlBLZo8w/s200/DSC07457.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188810507413120226" /></a><br />WOW - This was a huge event, skiers Plaza was packed and the athletes were throwing down - I am still in awe of the size of that jump and the steepness of the launch ramp.

My god, the art was just mind blowing. Raw creativity, polished to a brilliant shine. Where else can you watch artists, brilliant, passionate artists (who just happen to be really down to earth, laid back, grounded folks) create works of art right there, as you watch. No techy, snarkiness from any of these people. People were chatting with them, taking photos, all while the artists were working on new works! The artists were chill, laid back. Drinking a beer with the people watching, happy to talk. I love it when Art (with a definite capital "A") gets told to bugger off, because real, from-the-guts kind of art is being made and shown. The kind of art made by artists rooted in the street, made without pretentious blather. The list of artists involved was huge, but tonight I got to meet She One, Milan Basic, Dedos, and Ben Tour. I got to speak a bit with Ben as he worked. He's a really nice guy (I'm pretty sure they were all pretty cool, but I didn't get to talk much with the others). My only suggestion - Ben, you've got to get a cool arty name like the others. She One put on a live demonstration of how he works on a huge wall of black painted plywood. Dedos's kids were there. Really super cute kids. I mean, come on, where else can you watch an exceptional artists make a few brush strokes on a new work, then go over and talk to his cute little boy in a stroller who is calling out for dad!? And through it all, a dj (whose name I forgot to get - sorry man, my fault - you rocked) was mixing some awesome beats. Everyone, even the exhausted staff, was moving to the groove. I just wallowed in the creative positive energy. If you missed the opening, you missed something special (I know, I know, the Big Air show was going on, so I don't blame you, it was a tough decision.). If you are in Whistler, set aside some time, and go indulge your inner artist in the great energy of the Brave Art Show. It is a brilliant collection. Darrin and the rest of the Brave Art crew do an amazing job. Keep it up guys, you really are doing something amazing</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_j9GMz15EWUU/SAG3O6QJ7yI/AAAAAAAAAE4/hbuCL7YlyrU/s1600-h/for+kelly-0335.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Whistler is the place to be, and the TWSSF is the festival to be here for! I haven't been to the Festival in a few years (I know, that's horrible, I'm sorry, I'm a bad man) and, wow, everything about this place and this festival fills me with energy and creativity and joy and hope. This is way more than your average over-hyped festival! This is the perfect storm of mountain, music, art, and creative people! Get in your car! Buy a plane ticket! Get here now! There is still time! The Pontiac Stage had a rockin' roster of bands playing today.  We got rocked by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Beyond the Fall, The Sessions, Whitfield, </span>and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> The Turn</span>. If you haven't heard some of these guys, you need to go out and find them. Not all of it did it for me, but there were some songs and some bands that put the "Whiz" in "Whistler" (sorry, that was bad, but you get my meaning!)These photos are just a sample of the day - bands, people, snow, the winners of the Orage Masters, car painting, and the cool staff of a local coffee shop (yay coffee!). It all just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-6229804616337208492?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charlie Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01161098603612590795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-92200108217825912072008-04-12T17:40:00.000-07:002008-04-12T17:56:04.833-07:00Kicking off the 1st day of the telus festival with Ill Scarlet.

There are people everywhere and a vibe that beats any other festival I've been to before. Unfortunately there is a nice chunk of clouds floating mid mountain which is great for the complexion but bad for the eye sight. So as the fog settled in Craig and the guys from Nordica conquered the the mountain as they set up for the demo day and people get to try out all the new amazing gear for next year. Ill Scarlett is about to hit the main stage so I'm headed back out. Have a great TWSSF everyone!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/385256407005118549-8474114384100178941?l=twssf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Will Allen Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17617890377562990351noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385256407005118549.post-27872161803937071652008-04-10T18:00:00.001-07:002008-04-10T18:07:58.798-07:00Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival setup before the big day.
