Park & Pipes - Whistler Blackcomb: So Much SNOW
By: WhistlerBlackcomb


Whistler is having on of the best seasons ever! Endless fresh snow keeps falling (27+ feet and still counting) and we are well over a 3 meter base now.

 
Yep, that's a rail.

The fresh pow makes for epic riding but is actually slowing down the Parks expansion as we have to continuously dig out the rails, features & rebuild the park almost weekly! The park staff do their best to clear off snow on the rails & hits so our park riders can still hit the features each day. At night, our park groomers are plowing the snow off, rebuilding table tops and rail platforms.

 

Huge thanx to the day & night Parks team for making the effort each day to offer you the best park riding experience. Fences buried to the top & waist to chest deep drifts around the rails is giving the Parks team a work out almost every day.

Maybe the on line contest www.ifullrwasagirl.com is causing Ullr to be vengeful with the all the snow this season!?

So if you’re up here and in the park, enjoy it, and props to the team for keeping it in shape. If you’re up here and out of the park, well, you know how good it is, we don’t need to remind you. And if you're not here, well, you know what to do...

Yea I know whatever you have it to good blahblah yada yada
Well Its really quite to deep and I am tired of riding in a snowstorm.
PLease let the sun shine for a good week Ullr is working way to hard.
I didn't go up today maybe there is something wrong with me I don't know.
I think it was no one called to go riding I rode by myself yesterday suppose to be a pow day but I ride park cause the sun was out and I had to work at 2. I had some nice tree runs after the park on the way to solar, and the cat track step-ups to pow were sick I go the highest thats all there is to it.
I think I want to hit some town features not rail I despise rails now they just don't do it for me. Especially in the park I can kill rails just don't do them any more, Like I came up to this down rail in the park run and I'm thinking why do this to my sweet NSm I think it will ruin the stompability of by board. Which is super high right now, I corked back 7'd of the XL jump an stomped that shizzle. My corks are super corked like no others, I'm really stoked on that.
 
Got a new hip trick 2.5 grab method - two handed inbetween the feet(don't know what thats called. Combine that with my fs Hand plant Boula and bs truck driver 3s I kill that hip like no other.
 
So yea it was a good day in the park oh and I started spinning cab. But that frontside spin is foever eluding me.
 
So I have been think since there is so much snow, snow shoes will be needed to hike anywhere, and if I'm hikiin need he avi gear so gettin those soon and my new arbor I will prob pik up this week.
 
Stoke ameter is pretty high!   
Gotta start on that Vid part

Park & Pipes - Whistler Blackcomb: POW PARKS
By: WhistlerBlackcomb


It’s been epic snow in Whistler with powder conditions almost daily. Not that you should be spending too much time in the park when there's this much insane snow, but that doesn't stop the crew.



The Park teams have been digging out rails, building, fences, signs, etc. with shovels & snow cats! Lots of new snow & more groomers coming on line means the Parks will expand just in time for the holiday season.

Expect to see more rails & hits going in on the Habitat Park as we expand onto the Bobcat line and add more M – L features including some of the new rails. Over on Blackcomb, the Highest Level Park will also see more of our new technical rails being installed along with more hits & jibs on the main Nintendo park. We should have the Terrain Garden ready just before Christmas. 

Huge props to the day & night Park teams for dealing with all the snow. Ullr, you’re doing a great job so far this winter!

we hiked another volcano, this one wasnt pumping smoke as bad as the last one but did stink of sulphur, total mission hiking in lava scree almost threw the toys out the pram and gave up but eventually made it and the views from the top were the nuts.. all the andes well as far as wee could see lakes, volcanos, yetis, tigers, giraffes, palm trees, hula girls,. even a couple of chilean haggis.... no shi*t
 
had a couple days off all day boozing in the sun which were real good fun, chilled with some american candaians ozzies. on monday it was chilean independence day and the whole country was jumping. went to the local firestation and got fairly sideways on some yocal punch cant really remember much at all.. next day we went horseriding.. never done it before and to be honest was shi*t scared but it turned out real good times.. did galloping or whatever the horsey lingo is felt like john wayne, walked like a cowboy afterwards and ma balls are still aching!!!
 
reet now we´re back in los andes north of santiago hoping to go catskiing again.. summers definatlety in the air at last. ben bounced to buones aires last night.. me and eve are being proper tourists.. off to get a hawaan shirt, 200pounds extra weight and a huge camera, a map and go ask the locals dumb questions

Events/News - Whistler Blackcomb: $25,000 for Ullr Girl Contest!!!
By: WhistlerBlackcomb


If you haven't heard already, we've got a pretty HUGE CONTEST going this year that lots of snowboard.com'ers and freeskiing.com'ers stand a huge chance of winning. The girls, that is. The guys can vote and get entered for a trip to whistler to judge the contest! Here's the official dirt below, and with the colonies friends and community on your side, you've got a huge advantage. Who's gonna take it...
Read the details below or get it all at our mini site - ifullrwasagirl.com
 

 


Whistler Blackcomb has kicked off “If Ullr Was A Girl”, the first contest of its kind, offering a huge prize purse of $25,000 for a female skier or snowboarder who’s crowned Ullr Girl. The contest officially began September 1st with Whistler Blackcomb’s launch of the contest’s voting microsite ifullrwasagirl.com.  
 

In old Scandinavian myth, Ullr was the god of justice and dueling, but was most well known for his beauty and mastery of skiing. Every winter, Whistler invokes the favour of Ullr with a huge party involving the ritual of burning skis and boards in hopes of epic snowfall that winter. Legend has it that as the god of all things ridden on snow, Ullr was not only a kick-ass rider, but had the passion, confidence and attitude befitting a Norse god as well. Although Ullr is cast as a male in ancient myth, Whistler Blackcomb began wondering, what if Ullr was a girl? What would she be like? What would it take to find her? The “If Ullr Was A Girl” contest will provide those answers.
 

The search for Whistler Blackcomb’s Ullr Girl launches with a wide net being cast across North America in search of the ultimate mountain girl - someone with a passion for skiing and snowboarding that can rip it up on and off the slopes.
 

“This contest is designed to celebrate women whose lives and passions revolve around snowsports and who embody mountain culture, to provide them with a venue to showcase their talents to the world, and to reward them significantly for what they do and believe in every day,” says Christy Allan, Whistler Blackcomb’s General Manager of Marketing. “Whistler already enjoys the benefits of having some of the best skiers and riders in the world training and playing on our doorstep. This contest will help us to connect with even more female athletes, celebrate their love of snowsports, and discover that ultimate mountain girl.”
 

Women are invited to enter in two categories to win the Ullr Girl title – an Open category which includes all pro athletes, and an Amateur category. The contest will culminate at Whistler’s 2007 TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival (TWSSF), April 13-22, where the athlete in the Open category who best demonstrates her world class athleticism and embodiment of Whistler’s mountain culture is awarded a grand prize of $25,000. Amateurs will vie for their own Ullr Girl prize package which includes a professional photo shoot, inclusion in a Matchstick Productions’ or Misschief Films DVD, a new gear set up and a Whistler Blackcomb season pass. Whistler Blackcomb will award the grand prizes after the votes accumulated through ifullrwasagirl.com are in, and all finalists compete in a series of events at the TWSSF in Whistler.
 

Ifullrwasagirl.com will host the first portion of the contest where athletes are already posting their bios, photos and videos in order to vie for the votes of site visitors from around the world. Three Open athletes and three Amateur athletes with the most votes by February 19, 2007 will each win a 7-day, 6 night trip to Whistler during the TWSSF to compete in the finals. Site visitors voting on ifullrwasagirl.com can also enter to win a trip to Whistler to be one of the judges for the finals.
 

In addition to the voted-in athletes in the Open category, additional pro skiers and snowboarders will be chosen by an athlete selection committee to compete in the finals. The additional athletes chosen will round out the Open category up to a maximum of 8 skiers and 8 snowboarders. All invited Open athletes will be chosen from the online profiles on ifullrwasagirl.com, making participation in the website a requirement for an invitation to the finals in Whistler.
 

The Ullr Girl finals for both Open and Amateur categories will consist of the following four event components:
  1. A big mountain competition which will be held in-bounds on Whistler Blackcomb
  2. A parks and pipe competition (exact format to be announced)
  3. An arts component based on the TWSSF events. Each athlete will be asked to pick an art form – for example photography, film, art, or music – to present during a special evening event at the TWSSF. 
  4. Votes on ifullrwasagirl.com. Votes for the final selection will refresh on March 1st with skiers and snowboarders starting with a clean slate.

During the on-mountain events, skiers and snowboarders will be judged by different judging panels and ranked separately. All four event categories will carry equal weight and the finalists will be awarded points for their ranking in each event. The grand prize winners in the Open category and the Amateur category will be the two athletes who accumulate the most points after all four categories are totaled.
 

Full contest information and rules, as well as details on posting an athlete profile, nominating a girl, voting, or applying to be a judge, are available on-line at ifullrwasagirl.com
