11 Feet of Snow - Whistler is Going Off

By Karen Crute

Thursday, 27 December 2007

With Xmas pretty much done the only thing left to do around our house is to finish off all the turkey left over's. Yesterday Crispin Lipscomb and a couple of the Slednecks crew headed out into the Whistler backcountry for a few turns to burn off the turkey. We have variable lighting as the clouds were moving in and out however the snow was EPIC. It was some of the deepest and lightest snow I have ridden in Whistler for a long time.

Whistler has now had more than 11 feet of snow this winter and the snow at he resort and the backcountry is in great shape. Our Pro Ride camps are smoking busy and we are just in the process of finishing off week 4. We have campers from all over the globe out training with us to improve the freestyle, freeriding and working on gaining their instructor certifications so that can crack into the lifestyle of a full time snowboarder.

If you want to keep a check as to what we are up to you can check out our photo diary at  Pro Ride Snowboard Camps www.pro-ride.com
