From Whistler/Blackcomb:

“Wonder. Is it a place or a state of mind?
Are there places on the planet where wonder concentrates? Where it gathers, amasses, pools, comes in the night by the dumpload to bury yesterday’s tracks? Or is it just a state of mind, a way of looking, a filter through which you see the world, wherever you may be?

Well the last MSP Contour Moments was not the final episode (as we thought) But this possibly is. Wait… probably not. MSP is in AK right now sessioning an even bigger jump. Anyway in this episode Russ Henshaw and Jacob Wester meet up with PK Hunder, Aidan Sheahan, and Richard Permin and learn to fly. Some cool action above epic backdrops and an outstanding Whislter Blackcomb sunset.

“This video provides a good tease of what you can expect to see from MSP in the fall when their 20th annual ski film releases” (NO SHIT)

Chances are if you attend the University of British Columbia and rip on skis you will have a magnetic effect on other snow sliding enthusiasts and most likely someone who wants to film you. Once together there’s no stopping snow slidery & cinematic genius.

Here’s a video from Leo Zukerman documenting five days in the BC backcountry with UBC Students Essex Prescott, Ian Brown, Taylor Martin, Garett Knochenmus, Peter Wojnar and non UBC Student (but all around bad ass) Shaun Keller Gillis.

Between coastal weather, variable snow conditions, avalanche danger, snow mobile accidents, unexpected nights in the mountains [Holy Shit, read that story] and my complete lack of experience, this project turned out to be quite a challenge.

The Whistler Bike Park is now open. Get Ready to Ride A-Line

Last year Unofficial Whistler reporter Mason Mashon and friend Steven Matthews blasted off a quick top to bottom on A-line. Seven months later the brothers Cohn of Unofficial Whistler decided to do the same. This video shows the POV of both parties as they do a top to bottom A-Line run. Whistler Mountain.

To see the original bike video check out Mason’s post, A Quick Run Down A-Line. And for the full screen version of skiing see the video below.

I know we’re a little late but Unofficial Whistler doesn’t have a bike contributer [still looking]. This doesn’t stop the fact the Whistler Bike Park officially opened on Friday. Here are some pictures taken … Read More

After lapping the park day I still wasn’t satisfied, something was missing, then I realized that the zipper line under Solar Coaster had been calling my name, I needed to ski some moguls. So on our last run Ryan Regehr convinced me to dice up the bumps -shirtless. I forgot how much fun it was to ski slushy bumps, I love it,  mogul skiing is cool and I don’t care what you say (it’s just painful on the knees).  Shirt off, hair waving, the Top Gun soundtrack, slow motion … good times.

 The Complete opposite of:  Its hard to describe a sound. Even harder to describe the sound of skiing today on Blackcomb. But I will try: Crunch, grind and slap come into … Read More
