Boards of a feather and Whistler update

OK, I can’t help a terrible pun. Last year,  one of the best aspects of the Whistler trip was getting to meet new folks who by skiing or boarding with them. I had a blast from two PEI folk, James and Geoff, whom I had never met before Vancouver, but there is nothing like a couple of days on the slopes of Whistler to help you bond. I’m looking forward to boarding with them again.

This year, we are going to try even harder at the conference to help you connect with skiiers and boarders of your level and interest (terrain park, half pipe, steep and deep, or brand new). In addition to our Birds of a Feather Sessions, we’ll have “Boards of a Feather” signs up during the reception and breaks - so wonder over and see who like you is interested in double black boarding, or their first day on skis.

But, why not drop a comment  here with your skill level, and see if you can’t start making some connections. Also, if you know Whistler pretty well, you might like to put your hand up as a bit of a mountain guide (I’m looking at you Dave Orchard and Jim DeLaHunt) too.

They have had bumper snow again this year, with an early season start, way above average December falls, and already  more than the average falls for the whole of January by mid-month.  Despite rolling ankle yesterday, I am raring to go.

This really is an event not to miss.
