Charge of the Goddes - March 1-9 - Whistler

Whistler Blackcomb — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:59:54 -0500

Rating

A goddess is an icon of strength, intelligence, wisdom and beauty. Every woman has an inner goddess who is, too often, lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whistler Blackcomb calls upon all ladies to celebrate and indulge their feminine spirit at Charge of the Goddess: A Week for Women in Whistler running March 1-9.

In celebration of women’s week, Whistler Blackcomb challenges the community to help raise $5,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation. Donations will be given to the BC Cancer Agency to help make much-needed improvements to the mammography waiting room and breast cancer patient education rooms in Vancouver. The BC Cancer Agency has the province’s only digital mammography machine, making faster more accurate breast cancer diagnosis available.

"Patients undergoing breast biopsies spend a lot time in the Digital Mammography waiting area," explains Dr. Gwen Harrison, Diagnostic Imaging, at the BC Cancer Agency. "It would be great to be able to provide patients and their families with a comfortable and uplifting environment while undergoing these stressful procedures."

To donate, visit whistlerblackcomb.com/women and click on the BC Cancer Foundation logo or watch for the donation boxes at various locations in Whistler Village.

“Whether it’s donating to a great cause, shredding the slopes with the girls, splurging on a sassy new outfit, savouring delicious wines or dancing the night away, there is a well-rounded calendar of events for every lady to indulge in,” says Michelle Leroux, Public Relations and Communications Manager for Whistler Blackcomb.

The Glacier Shop Goddess Night, presented by Naked Grape, runs March 3 from 5 to 8pm. The evening features a personal shopper & stylist from Fashion Magazine, music, a special visit from Oakley and wine tasting with Naked Grape Vineyard. Free makeup application and professional consultation will also be provided courtesy of Lily Cosmetic Boutique.

The Showcase Goddess Night, presented by Diet Coke, runs March 5 from 7 to 10pm. Shoppers can browse through a selection of designer labels fit for a goddess, groove to an in-house DJ, enjoy appetizers and drinks and pamper themselves with free beauty treatments provided by Farfalla Salon.

Donations in support of the BC Cancer Foundation will be collected at both shopping nights.

Charge of the Goddess revs up on the final weekend (March 8-9) with 40 per cent off all-ladies camps. Roxy Women's All Star Ski and Snowboard Camp, Roxy Women's Learn to Ski Camp and Burton Learn to Ride Camp provide two-day camps featuring a positive environment in which to bring out the Athena in all of us.

For the ultimate test of a goddess’ strength and ability, there’s Queen of the Rail on March 8. Winners of this rail jam will receive a percentage of the cash entry fees as a prize and all participants are entered in to win fantastic draw prizes from Showcase, Glacier Shop, Atomic, Nintendo, TELUS, DNA and more. Registration is $15 and runs from 5 to 6pm at Whistler Kids at the base of Blackcomb Mountain.

Everyone knows girls “just wanna have fun.” SKKY Vodka and Grand Marnier Present A Night With Venus at the Garibaldi Lift Co. (GLC) on March 8. This all-girls party will have the boys knocking down the doors. Ladies are invited to dress in their best Greek-inspired attire for an enchanted evening done up in true Grecian style. Groove to electro rock and booty shaking tunes provided by DJ Dani, Lon and Vadim. All partygoers will receive a free Growers Cider and Cosmo martini. To help raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation, delicious Greek Gods will be available for rent. Have them carry your bag for the night or fetch your drinks. Tickets are $15 at the door and the event begins at 9pm. Doors will be open to guys at midnight – if there’s room.

Bring Out Your Sunglasses

Bring out the sunglasses and the ski touring gear, looks like Mother Winter is about to take a bit of a break. After one of the most epic streaks of powder days in recent memory (and ignoring the fact that i missed many of them), the forecast is now calling for mainly sun as far as the eye can see.

But a little vitamin D never hurt anyone... see you in the backcountry.

Crotch Grab Gone Wrong

J Dogg — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 21:47:54 -0500

I'm famous, in the most hilarious way, so in this case it's fair for me to toot my own horn. Because its more of a kick in the nuts than a horn toot. Andre just spotted a photo he took of me a couple winters ago in Ruby Bowl, Blackcomb, BC.

The article in ESPN grabbed his creative commons photo for the article, which is great and all, but...

Instead of choosing the sequence of me doing the 40 ft crotch grab with true gaper style, they chose a photo of me sitting on top of the cliff waiting for the camera set up. So classic. That beats Ski Canada anyday.

Whistler Opening Weekend Ruled

OK totally guilty, some how I came out of the opening weekend with ZERO photos or footage. Not because it wasn't worth it. Oh far from it. Rather, because I was too pumped to shred for opening weekend that I didn't even bother picking up a camera to document it. Let's recap...

Saturday, opening day, some 6000 shredders came out to see it happen. About a meter of snow a few days before opening, a little time to settle, then wham, Whistler Mountain opens with another epic start to a season. Laps of Ratfink and Chunky's had the goods on green chair, and the Goat's path to lower VD's and hikes to Doom & Gloom had even sweeter spots. Much sweeter.

Nobody seemed to care that it was howling wind and snow, winter was here... bring it.

And if that wasn't good enough, in rolled Sunday, aptly named for a blue bird day with 14cm in the last 24hrs to play with. It was ridiculous. Stayed totally blue all day, cold, fresh snow to the valley, and just plastered white everywhere. EVERYONE hiked the peak and harmony, it was too good to miss. Pretty much all the horeshoes were hit, harmony waterfall, Excitation, Exhileration, westbowl, paleface, and even... Don't Miss. On opening weekend! Damn people were busy.

Good to see the stoke so high, it's going to be a killer season.

5 Day Trend...More Snow Is Forecast On Friday As Another Frontal System Crosses The South Coast And The Freezing Level Drops Again.
