What's coming up at Whistler Blackcomb.

The valley night pipe was built & lit up for the Showcase Showdown Feb 23 – 24. This was the second time Showcase Snowboard Shop put on the Pipe Style event. The valley super pipe was built to be part pipe & part slopestyle.

The top of the pipe featured hips into pipe walls followed by C boxes & into the final 3 pack of rails @ the finish. The rails included the down flat down rail, box to down box & the double barrel rail. All rails were supplied from the Parks. Riders were boosting huge on the hips & pipe walls & pulled off their best tricks on the C boxes & finish rails. It appeared that the course flowed better than last season with the C boxes helping to maintain momentum into the finish rail set ups.

The last hits on the finish rails were real crowd pleasers although the pipe roll out decks were packed with spectators top to bottom. With $25,000 in prize money to be won, the top riders were present & upping the ante each run.

Chris Wimbles stepped up & claimed 1^st place & $10,000! 2^nd went to Jacob Koia & third to Clint Allen. On the ladies side, Pilar Petersen won 1^st, Sarah Conrad took 2^nd & 3^rd place was awarded to Stephanie Just.

Congrats to Showcase for another successful event & props to the Events staff, Park Groomers & Park staff ensuring the event ran successfully from prep time to tear down!
