Telus Festival 2009
In what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, a few of us headed up to Whistler for the last weekend of the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival. While we didn’t have as large a crew as last year (nor the audacity to shout at emcees during the pro photo showdown…), good times were still had by all.
The combination, in varying degrees and at different times, of Costco chicken wings, spring riding, big air competitions, red bull and vodka, margaritas, hot tubs, photo shows, Zog’s poutine, fashion shows, beer, and good friends really can’t be beat.
The Pro Photo Showdown was again awesome – all five had good entries, but the first series on handicapped athletes and the last photographer were particularly inspiring.
On Friday, we had a good vantage point for the Grenade Games V superpipe jam, so I went down to retrieve the big cameras (and some beers…), and we got some really nice shots.
The rest of the trip was the requisite mix of riding, music, eating, and partying. Till next year…
