Powderhound

            Traversing Whistler Peak (2284 m, 7494 ft), headed to the legendary chutes and powdery back bowls during an afternoon break from the winter olympic alpine events at Whistler-Blackcomb. Coast Mountains, British Columbia. Video rough-cut clip. Videographer: Snorre Wik, March 2010.

Right to left: Flute Bowl and Oboe Ridge in the mid-foreground; Fissile Peak, Overlord Glacier and the Fitzsimmons Range in the distant backdrop. 

Whistler-Blackcomb, alpine site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, is touted as a skier's and border's dream destination - the ultimate big mountain experience with over 8,100 acres (3,307 hectares) of snow-covered slopes, steep alpine powder bowls and craggy couloirs, long wide-groomed cruisers (11 km, 6.8 mi) with a huge vertical drop (1,565 m, 5,133 ft) and ready access to spectacular backcountry terrain.
