One day me and my friend Tristan went out looking to get some photos on Whistler just for a little fun.
I had a spot in mind and so did Tristan, so we strapped in at the top of Whistler. We headed down a back country area on the mountain called International trees. The name was adopted by a lot of locals who frequent the gladed area on the mountain.
Tristan had a drop that he’d been to before that he thought he could find if we hiked into International Trees.
This was my first time hiking this area of the mountain and frankly never even heard about it before. But the fresh un-tracked snow on a day like today when there was no fresh lines to be found anywhere else was very welcoming.
After a little hike and zig zagging threw trees we found the spot and set up shop.
I was able to capture a fun drop shot of Tristan and a pow slash photo in the same area before we crossed that spot off our list and headed over to harmony chair for some more lines.
When we arrived on top of the ridge in Harmony called Gun Barrels which is a nice spot with a lot of pillow drops funnelling into the base of harmony chair. This is when we realized that the rest of the mountain didn’t really have much fresh snow on it and all the pillow drops where pretty big for the amount of hard packed landings that it had to offer.
Tristan did manage to scope out one line that he liked and I quickly set up my angle and in no time Tristan dropped in to stomp a nice pillow line in Harmony’s Gun barrels.
