The Skate of the Art Opening- Friday 17th

Bands at TWSSF

The music at the Telus World Ski Snowboard Festival continues to impress. With two stages within a couple hundred meters of each other there is plenty of choice for great music every day of the festival.

Final Poker Table - Grenade Games

The Grenade Games Poker Run ended at the Longhorn for the final Poker Table! The air was thick as these people play for the win.

WSI Halfpipe Finals

As the weather man forecast it was a beautiful sunny 30 minute sunburn day up on Blackcomb at the Whistler Ski Invitational. As i sit writing this my face is radiating heat, even with several layers of sunblock the rays got to me.





Even as the snow slowed with the t-shirt weather being enjoyed by adoring fans the riders hit high throughout the afternoon.




After the main competition the riders kept hiking for a rider judged best hit contest. No need to string the hits together, just throw down as big as they could and fellow athletes picked out their favorite.

A second day of unfortunately cloudy weather surrounded competition on the mountain. The World Ski Invitational halfpipe qualifiers still went down with riders flying high.





The weather forecast for the finals looks better with sunshine and a few clouds supposed to be out all day.
