Catching up with the Kiwi crew at Whistler, Blackcomb

British Columbia/

Canada

This year I was here in Whistler about 3 months then headed off to Europe and Japan for FIS World Cup competitions..

I've been in Whistler for several days now. Getting over the jet lag and settling into another northern hemisphere winter. Had the first day up Blackcomb Mountain yesterday with local friends and partner in crime Dylan Butt.
We were happily greeted by some fresh snow which we tried hard to track up. Although the 20-30cm of new looked pristine we were riding tenitivly as a larger snow base is still needed to cover up the remaining rocks and tree stumps. The early season park and pipe are also in good shape.

It's good to be back in Whistler, now feeling a little like my second home being my sixth consecutive season here. However things for me this season will be quite different from past years. Usually I'm settling in for the whole season, coaching and tearing up the mountains with friends. This year I will be here for the month of December then heading off to Europe and Japan for FIS World Cup competitions.

The FIS World Cup will be making its stop here in Whistler from December 8-11. There will be several Kiwis here competing in the three events of BoardX, GS and Halfpipe. NZ team members arriving in the next few days include; John Shelly, Julianne Bray, Suzie Parker, Louise Muier and of course Dylan Butt and myself.
Coarse Preparation has begun for all disciplines, registration and training for Athletes will begin tomorrow.
That's me for now, off up to the pipe to train. Will keep you all informed of results and happenings as they come to hand.

Take Care, Deni.
