Gimme some more Pow!

Here we go: third straight weekend out there on the mountain with the Swedish Crew, 3 days back 2 back powder action from Canada's best West Coast action spot!
Back in Whistler on that friday, with perfect sunshine conditions and no crowd to begin another funtastic weekend in Whistler-Blackcomb

We find a very nice spot on the back of Whistler peak to enjoy fresh tracks in perfect powder conditions!
The snow is glinting under the morning sun...





Switch my google to sun mode, we get ready for some good riding time





Since there is no lift on that side of the mountain, we go back to some old style hiking.
If you look close enough, you can see the mountain reflecting in the lake at the far end, what a view!





Bloody Beautiful!




The Swedish Crew!




We find a nice jump in the backcountry, and since I have a knee injury still in the healing, I'm the official photographer of the crew...

Joaquim On top of the world





At the end of the day, after the last hike, the Crew poses for Posterity!




The second day, we wake up early for some nice morning groomer




We go straight to the top...





And get warmed up with some extreme Whistler couloir
(Yes this is where we are going down!)




Sebastian joined us on that second day for some sunshine powder action;
Here, he lands a nice bank drop





Seba in action in the park, I run the follow up camera:
360



540 (almost clean!)





Later that day, we do the Peak 2 Creek backcountry run, and I get a piece of the action




A little video of a 5 meter gap..almost clean





Another backcountry jump, I take my photographer role again...

Oli (the Australian)




Seba with his famous 540



Felik's (Germany) attemp to 720, only missing by a little 30 percent...smashing himself, both skis and goggles ejected and a broken pole




The last day, Leena (Australia), Brigett (New-Zeland), Eric (USA) and I go on to tackle some backcountry hiking on the Blackcomb side

Leena taking a break on the hillside



Once again, another great weekend ou there on the mountain...we conclude today's presentation with my favorite shot of the weekend: The sun peering out at the end of the second day to light up the backcountry terrain



Until Next Time!!!
