Can I Ride Whistler Blackcomb during the 2010 Olympics

You may be asking Is Whistler Blackcomb Mountain open for riding during the Olympics?

Info about riding Whistler Blackcomb during the 2010 Olympics with 90% terrain open

Most people think that Whistler Blackcomb Mountain will be closed down for the Olympics in 2010. People also think that If Whistler Blackcomb is open the crowed would be to big to ride the mountain. This will not be the case during the the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Colombia Canada

I was told by trusted connections at the company and also on the Whistler Blackcomb website that it will be the most enjoyable riding you may ever do.This is Because most think the way i listed above. Why not get out and enjoy some riding, take in some of the Winter Games and live life.


The fact that the Peak to Peak Gondola that connects Whistler mountain To Blackcomb mountain will keep more people at the Summit levels of both mountains by interchanging mountains without heading down to the Base of the mountain. This will make the mountain seam empty and make for great riding. I wonder how many people have thought of that over the years. Well now this is a reality. If you have ever been here you know just how special Whistler can be. This mountain calls you when you sleep. When you come on Holiday here you never want to leave this magic place.

You Can also Heliboard while here during your stay fro the 2010 winter Olympics at Whistler.

Snowboarding School Shreducation Review part 2

In this episode the Boys are in New Zealand training for the upcoming
New Zealand open It is the place to be in the summer. This is proof that it's always snowing somewhere in the world like Jessie said. The view is amazing from what I seen on the TV wow massive really massive in size.

If your not falling your not getting any better well said Jessie. The kid thought he had Jessie by saying he has not fallen in months. We learn from our mistakes once we stop progression stops. Jessie says with pain comes reward.

Jake throws down a front seven and cracks his helmet. To tell you the truth the road trip out was more scary. Then Jessie talk about his glory days while the kids Laughed and teased him.

The kids kept up with the program but like with any training kids get tired fast and need rest. That's hard with so little time to learn and so many great riders emerging in Snowboarding today.

The New Zealand open is drawing near the boys are amped and decide to brake curfew and catch heat from their coach Jessie.

Jake was struggling with the landings but all in all for young kids they are on the right track to early retirement.

Most of the kids get stuff from sponsors and companies trying to get the word out about the goods.

Skateboards Are True Works Of Art

When I was young the art on Skateboard Decks got me pumped. I guess because I am by no means an Artist. Skateboarding is what brought me to snowboarding my numbers one passion after Skateboarding. When I was young I had a complete Skateboard. Over time I became obsessed with Skateboards buying decks just for the art. This lead to me owning way too many Skateboards and Snowboards. I now look for good Art and functionality in a board. Know when I go riding I not only look good I am good. its all what you put into it. Start off with a board the grow from there. If you love the sport. you will not only put in the time but will have nice rides and Diggs.

The Board I had in Jr high school would take me three miles in a flash it was magical I swear. A few pumps would take you blocks. I was in good shape for my age. I think all parents show show there kids the way to Skateboarding ,snowboarding and swimming/diving. Depending on where you live there are city or county run parks where your kids can learn to soar wile your pockets rip at the seams.

The point is there is fun around us you just have to look for it.

Waxing a snowboard how when where why?

OK When it comes to waxing your board when would be a good time well it all depends on if you did it at seasons end last April. If this is the case you are ready to glide on a smooth worry free surface. Waxing the board at the end of the season will keep the board nice during the hot summer months in the closet,Garage or attic. One thing to know is your snow. There are cold waxes and warm waxes so know where you are headed and buy the right wax for the trip you are going on snow temp is important to know.

1)When should you wax the board if you do it your self you can ride two to three times max riding is the longest you should go without waxing the board if you want to keep it nice and protected and get the best ride out of it.

2)Where anywhere you can i bring table mounts and find a place in a garage or out door area where it's not to cold. If it is really cold out the you need to wax it inside then place it outside to quick dry and then scrape the wax off and buff it.

3) Why we wax's because it's what keeps you sliding at max performance and protects the board.

How to wax what you will need

1)Wax for the type of snow you will be riding ask your local shop to help you find the right wax for the right temp.

2) A table

3) An iron made for snowboards

4) scraper

5) buffer

Picking heli opperators for back country riding or sking

If you are looking for a great time and dont know where to start read this news letter from Heli holiday also know on the internet as heli ski hloiday the links are below in this news letter that i added to this post for your use.


HOW to determine YOUR HELI-LICOUS HOLIDAY?With the number of operations having increased significantly over the last 8 years, determining the operator has also become increasingly difficult. What had once been a seller’s market, with very few companies providing heli-skiing services, has now become visual dual over who has the best photos and advertising/marketing strategy. “Each operator sells virtually, leaving the client with a smorgasbord of information that, at the very least, be overwhelming”, says Nina Kaufman, Heliski Holiday. With the numerous questions that arise while reviewing potential operators, how does the client process the information? How do they know what questions to ask if the understanding of an exclusive industry is not clear?Heliski Holiday is one answer; understanding the industry, one-on-one relations with the operators and most importantly by being a personal “heliskiers concierge”, a genuine added value service; where group & individual needs are met and in the process a heliski experience of a life-time is defined. Today’s client has a full schedule. Lukas, client of Heliski Holiday had this to say, “Your services were very helpful to me, as it would have cost me a considerable amount of time to piece things together by myself”. Heliski Holiday has the unique position of offering first class service in full cooperation with the operators of British Columbia. “We work along side them to promote this exclusive industry with confidence, knowing that all information offered has the approval stamp of heli-operators of British Columbia”, says Kaufman. One thing is very certain, operators are highly motivated to see each guest with a smile permanently etched in their face and that could not be done without the highest level of safety, professionalism and customer service being applied.Visit the Heliski Holiday website: www.heliskiholiday.comToll Free North America: 1.877.428.4354 (HELI) International: 1.250.542.3852For Personal Heli-Concierge Genuine Service CONTACT: nina@heliskiholiday.com
