Can hardly wait...

Whistler

Alpental

For the past several winters i have spent the good majority of my free time between these two places. Alpy's my main local, and is the first mountain i became familiar with out here (cheers arob)....the backcountry here is very accessible, so most time is spent out there. One of the steeper mts in the country, with a seemingly endless amount of features to hit across all the different zones. Alpental has given me the best turns i've experienced so far on a snowboard, some days you really do get to live out your dreams. Underground and underrated....Whistler itself is a bubble, between the land, the people, and the energy of the town it has it's own kinda magic that no where else in this world can touch. The population here is mostly made up of athletes, artists, travelers, and fun seekers, i think of it as adult fun land. Having more rideable terrain than any other ski resort on the continent, the scale of all that you can ride here is beyond vast. Good friends and experiences that amaze me time and time again, make the 4 hour drive north something to look forward too.

Forecasters are calling for a la nina winter, up here in the pnw that means colder temps and more precipitation....exactly what were lookin for the mountain side of things. Talk around town with any snow shred is all excitement and high anticipation. i've never looked so forward to winter in my life...
