Whistler Blackcomb Snowcast, Presented by TELUS

Inspired by the awesome storms that often rage through the Coast Mountains each January, dumping feet upon feet of perfect powder onto Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the GORE-TEX Deep Winter Experience has stormed into town, January 9-18. The event features ski clinics, avalanche awareness tours and GORE-TEX discounts. The Deep Winter Photo Challenge, presented by Arc’Teryx is the signature event. This year, Jordan Manley, last season's King of Storms come back to defend his crown. Also on the roster are Dan Carr, Andrew Bradley, Crispin Cannon and Brian Hockenstein who are all some of the top ski and snowboard photographer's in North America. After three days of shooting in the elements, they will present their slideshows capturing epic powder days, dramatic skies, inspiring scenery, stormy conditions, deep tree skiing, and the lifestyles characterized at Whistler Blackcomb. The event takes place on January 9 at 7pm the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. Tickets are available at Whistler Blackcomb Guest Relations. Visit whistlerblackcomb.com/deepwinter for more info.
