This month has kicked off with some fantastic spring conditions. We started the first week of the month with some light powder followed by bright blue sunny days. Everyone is smiling as it is nice to see the sun back and some warmer days. The next few days will be nice and then 30 - 40 cms are forecasted for Friday and Saturday to build up our 3 meter base.
Local Camp News
At camp things are starting to slow down a little with only two more weeks of programs for the winter calendar. That doesn't mean that we are slowing down as we are busy preparing for summer with our new Argentina Trip (Which is happening in August) as well as summer camp training in June and July. If you are keen to come out to Whistler over the next couple of weeks we have 3 places left for freestyle training. This is a great time to come out and get your jumps dialed and ride a few rails as the sun is out and the snow is soft. You can register on-line at

Congratulations go out to Gavin Carstairs who was out on camp a few years ago as the word down the wire is that he just got married. Lou who some of you know as our cleaning lady just got engaged to Simon a week ago. Dave Marino who came out on camp in our second year recently had a baby and is living happily here in Whistler.
What's New
Finally, it looks like we will have a new peak to peak gondola from the top of Whistler to the top of Blackcomb. The plans have been submitted to the official government bodies and there is a rumor that they will break ground this summer to start preparations for the new gondola system.
