Every year during the winter season in Whistler there is a weekly free event on the base of Whistler. This is an event that I believe makes Whistler stand out.

At the end of last season two of my good friends and I dropped into the back side of Whistler from the peak where Matt Henry and Co had built a nice long jump with some beautiful scenic views in the back ground. The ride down to the jump was nice soft snow and a [...]
