The Whistler Park groomers are the key to the success of the Whistler Habitat Park. Even though the Whistler Park team, day & night, are a smaller crew compared to Blackcomb, they continue to deliver a quality park that riders keep coming back for more. The popularity of the Whistler park continues to grow with a variety of different jumps & rail set ups & enough diversity that riders can choose from S to M to L lines to hit. The Whistler Park groomers have been instrumental in the planning & layout of the Park areas & it helps that 50% of the team came from the day time Parks crew & they all ride the goods they deliver! The Whistler drivers also run the Park Bully snow cats to build the Whistler park which is 100% built out of natural snow. Here’s a little back ground on our Whistler drivers:
Dave Murphy
With 7 years under his belt & coming from grooming the Blackcomb park, Dave was the natural choice to be our Whistler Park grooming lead hand. Dave also diversifies his skills by working in the Bike Park in the summer and volunteering his time for the Whistler Skateboard Association by assisting in the ramp construction in Creekside. Dave is an avid skateboarder & rides what he builds in the parks. “I like to be creative & try to make everyone happy with what I build. I ride what I build. I contribute my skate experience to the park grooming & shaping.” 
Anto Orts
First season operating a snow cat full time but Anto has been in snow cats for several years via summer glacier operations & helping out the Park drivers last season. Anto was the lead hand for the Whistler Park for 5 years & knows what it takes to make a great park. Now on the other side of the wheel, so to say, Anto brings realism to the park product & ensures what we dream up is achievable to build & maintain via the snow cat. Anto is also responsible for most of the rail creations in the Whistler Park & assisted for the artwork on them. “I like to keep the park fun to ride & creative”.
Chris Lamb
Second season driving and previously a Park host & lead hand. Chris “Chops” Lamb got his first go @ driving a snow cat for summer glacier operations. Chops also works in the Whistler Bike Park during the summer months. “I really enjoy building jumps & riding them the next day unless it’s a pow day then I’m off to tear up the deep stuff. I’m really happy with the park set up over here as it’s all connected. I find this park is a bit more human as it offers features for never evers up to the seasoned shredders”.
KC Anderson
Second season running the rig & comes from a snowboard retail background. KC used to work for Showcase Snowboard Shop in the village and has been involved in front line sales in snowboard shops since 1997. “I ride & relate my work to snowboarding. I get to drive the best machines out there & be part of one of the largest grooming fleets in North America. I get top use my creativity in shaping & creating the hits. Go ride the Park!”
