What Went Down In The Whistler Backcountry This Week

Andrew Burns
 

Last week I had a gnarly sinus infection, and was battling some extra shitty filming luck. Geoff Brown convinced me to join him for a sesh and we ended up hitting Forum step-down, which I have passed over and over every year and have never hit. It was pretty sweet to finally hit this classic (even though the snow was garbage), and we both got shots!" Cab 9 screen grab from Geoff's go pro angle

Sometimes the simple things make snowboarding awesome!

Matt belies checking his landing as the light gets better and better. That time of year.

2 days touring on the duffy lake with Dave B and Garry Pendygrasse

Did the spearhead traverse in a day and rode the N face of fitzsimmons  halfway through. It's the big shaded face on the far away shot (the run keeps going out of frame down the lower mellow slopes) and the close up (fitz is the bigger face on the right) sunset shot is on fissile at the end of that day. 11.5 hour day..

Following day did a solo tour to go ride the NW face of pattison, n face of trory (both of which are seen in the kinda cloudy photo) and the main face of decker.
