whistler

Ask and you shall receive. Well, a huge amount of spring snowfall and cold temperatures doesn't hurt either. Whistler Blackcomb has announced the decision to extend skiing and riding on Whistler Mountain by one week.

A lot of ski bums in Whistler know SUREFOOT as that mellow shop to hang out in at the end of the day, talk smack about your lines, and hopefully score a bit of bootwork while you're at it. Why there? They just seem to know what's going on I guess. Or is there more to it? 

You used to catch a glimpse of her shredding the slopes of Kicking Horse, but this interior BC girl is now onto her 2nd season of dominating the Whistler Blackcomb ski scene. Tessa Treadway is young, married to the youngest Treadway brother Dave and skis like a prettier version of all 3 brothers. A hunting, clothing designing, non-profit working professional skier.

There's a movement brewing in Whistler this winter. Finally a new production company (with their $h*t together) working on a big mountain freeskiing film set to drop in fall 2010.

When: Tues December 22nd, 2009 at 9pm
Where: GLC, Base of Whistler

An evening of epic slideshows, videos and stories of an amazing trip by 8 local rippers to the Monarch Icefield in BC's in Central Coastal mountains just south of Bella Coola. 

Sun on the first day of December? High pressure in the forecast? Could it be true? Hard to believe, after what was officially the snowiest month on record at Whistler Blackcomb, dating back to when the collection of weather data began 30 years ago. Yep, November 2009. Were you there?

Aaaah, the bucket list. We're guessing we're not the only ones out there that make to do lists. You know, some people make lists for what to buy at the grocery store, others for chores to do, or in the case of Steve Buscemi's character in the movie Billy Maddison... list of people from highschool to kill.

To get the real dirt on whistler freeskier Jonny Law, and his Gaper Day alter ego Nacho Libre, we reeled them both in for an interview at Doglotion headquarters. Suspiciously, we couldn't get them into the room at the same time, and come to think of it, we can't recall EVER having seen them together. Why is that anyway? Strange. 

Doglotion.com caught up with Jeremy McClure, the ski bum whistler shredder from SFTV Episode 4 to find out how it all went down...

Doglotion: Jeremy, how the hell did you end up starring in SFTV Episode 4?
Jeremy: Well I kinda heard they were looking for a ski bum and offered my services because there was possible some free gear involved.

Despite the abundant rumours about 'No Fly Zones', Whistler Heli-Skiing will remain open throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, giving skiers and riders the chance to carve fresh tracks on 432,000 acres of powder-loaded terrain, all season long, beginning on December 5, 2009.
