less than 30 days to the olympics!
Posted by on 12 January 2010 | Tags:Wow less than 30 days to go to the Olympics now. Seems crazy how fast time has flown by here in Whistler. Accommodation is tight as always and it is interesting to see how they are going to fit all the support staff into town. There is talk of Ferries holding staff in the ocean in Squamish and the army having to sleep in the woods, plus there still seems to be tons of work left to get done so the whole logistics of what is going on here are pretty remarkable to say the least. I'm really excited to see Danny Davis's progression of the snowboard sport and unfortunately he will most likely never stay with 24-7snow as he is too busy toouring the world blowing minds. Last weekend at the Mammoth Grand Prix he finished his run with a switch alley oop double backside rodeo??? Who does that? Halfpipe can be predictable to watch at times so it is a joy to see so much creativity introduced at such a high level. Go to Transworld Snowboarding to see the clip.

Olypmics are coming!
Posted by Admin on 17 June 2009 |Can’t believe it is just over half a year to the olympics come to town. We have added a counter to the side of the page to remind us how short a time it is to the olympics come to town. Personally with it being my love snowboard halfpipe is the event I’m most excited about but they are all amazing. Biathalon I think is hugely interesting, how healthy they have to be cross country ski at that speed and then slow down their heart rate when they have to hit a target.
Late spring, early summer 09
Posted by Admin on 21 May 2009 |Well another winter has come to an end, many happy memories have been etched in to history and many good friendships have been made and are on hiatus as the non locals distribute back to their respective home towns.
Spring Season 08/09
Posted by Admin on 26 March 2009 |After a slow start with December being very cold we got a good spell over Christmas and then an extended sunny period through Janurary and early with great park riding conditions we finally got the goods late in the season. Yes it took longer than normal to hit this year but mid to late season was insane. There was one week in March with no one around and people were getting fatigue from riding so much powder and the mountain was just ridiculous, tree runs with a metre of powder on every bump, huge pillows you could submerge yourself in and come out of at the end of a section coughing up snow. So, so good. All this snow also meant that March had the most insane park on Whistler I have ever seen, feature after feature after feature, the park became an aerobic experience and everyone learnt a ton of tricks and had a great time.
Early Winter 08/09
Posted by Admin on 12 December 2008 |The snow is falling right now up on the mountains. Some of the guestshave already arrived and eveyone is excited about the upcoming season. We are fully booked up until April. For great Spring time deals and even better spring time conditions send us an email for more details.
It really is on
Posted by Admin on 2 January 2008 |Winter is completely and utterly officially here, it feels like it hasn’t stopped snowing for three weeks, the stats haven’t come out yet but I can’t think of any day in that period that we didn’t at least get a dusting and we have had a bunch of 30 cm days and loads of 15cm days. This is my favourite when it tops itself up by 10 or 20 cm a day, it is not enough to get to much hype but it never really gets tracked during the day and then it gets loaded again at night. I can’t lie to you it is ridiculously fun and this season has reminded me why I love snowboarding so much.
Happy New Years Eve to all!
Posted by Admin on 2 October 2007 |Wicked fun new year’s here, everyone celebrating in different ways. Hope you had a good one too and good luck for the 07….
Winter 07/08 coming up fast
Posted by Admin on 15 September 2007 |We have had a busy summer. I’ve been down in New Zealand riding the snow down here and seeing new places. After a great summer, having met loads of amazing people I’m heading back to Whistler in the next month and am really looking forward to it. The mountains down here are a special experience, beautiful views, really friendly people, sunny days, has been an unforgettable experience. Still I can’t wait to get back to Whistler to catch up with friends, ride some decent length runs, hit the trees, ride the huge parks, get some bottomless pow turns, basicaly i’m hyped. The last two years have been so epic and everyone has been asking whether global warming or possible onsetting ice age is having influence on the weather. Either way while every where else is seeing droughts and mild climates Whistler has been getting blessed and I can’t wait to get back.
We still have a few beds left, for singles or couples and still have all the great features everyone asked for, trampoline, hot tub, free high speed internet, cable tele, the list goes on. If you want to have a good winter season get it sorted out soon so you won’t be dissapointed and personaly I highly recommend Whistler.
