Some iPhone and GoPro fun while splitboarding early season up in the Whistler alpine.
The half winter hiatus last year all got us bummed, yes, but Mother Nature finally came back in full force in the Pacific North West, gracing us with the best early winter conditions in probably the last decade. Whistler was able to open most of their terrain quick, and everyone got to play twice as hard, eager for some pow slashes with the mediocre half broken snow dreams taste that we got left with last winter.
I had the chance to go up and ride with skateboarder photographer and borderline maniac Brian Caissie. I took us only a mini hike up the Crystal area to shoot some pretty cool photos and a mini snow surfing edit. Here is what he came up with.

Happy Shredding, and New Year to all!
