One day Phil, Evan and I went on a mission to find some features to ride on Blackcomb. It had recently snowed so we wanted to get some pictures riding some fresh powder.
After loading crystal chair we traversed and found a nice little drop gap over a traverse line that some skiers where using. Phil hikes up to the top and checks it out. He had to plan where he wanted to land and judge the speed required for the gap.
In due time Phil clears out a little area to strap into his board and gets ready to drop in. Phil drops in with a nice little grab and clears the gap to a nice soft powder landing with ease.
Evan follows up with the same gap, but a slightly different line to ensure that he doesn’t land in the same spot as Phil. Its important on drops like these to ensure that you are landing somewhere with no bomb howls or tracks because you want the snow to absorb all of the shock from the landing. Its like jumping off a 3 story building into a dumpster full of fluffy pillows.
After the drop we headed into the crystal trees for some fresh pow turns and some fun natural features to float off of.
About half way down the glades trail we found a nice little pillow line that Evan wanted to ride. It was a perfect little pillow line straight threw a section of trees and Evan floated down the pillows with so much ease.
This completed another fun day riding powder on Whistler Blackcomb.
