Whistler Trip

Last week I went on trip to Whistler Canada with Ride Snowboards. I hadn't never been to Whistler and was excited. It took a long time to get there, first was a two hour flight to Seattle, then a thirty five minute flight to Vancouver, then a three hour bus ride to Whistler, it doesn't sound like much but with all the layovers and delays it ended up taking about eleven hours total.

It's always fun going on these trips, I see friends from other shops all over the country that I only see a few times a year. The purpose of the trip was to see the 2010 Snowboards and to give input on making the 2011 line. They have a few cool boards coming out in 2010. We were able to ride in the morning, then go to meetings in the evenings. I was really cold with sub zero temps and high winds and fog the whole trip. It was less then ideal conditions. I didn't due much riding due to the temps, so I ended up walking the village and checking out all Whistler had to offer. It is a really fun town with world class restaurants and fun bars and night clubs. I wish Squaw would have built there village more like Whistler. Even with the weather and lack of snow I would still love to come back to Whistler when there is more snow.

Thanks to Ride for putting me up in the Chateau Fairmont and making this a great trip.
