Whistler is one of the most talked about destinations amongst snow junkies located 75 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada.  Any snowboarder fortunate enough to have carved this mountains silky powder would solemnly swear to it being winters ultimate paradise.

Count me in as being lucky enough to have experienced its greatness.  It was an obsession of mine to be able to snowboard at the biggest and baddest mountain on the west coast.  Everyone spoke of it being heavenly because of its powder.  That made it all the reason to max out my credit cards on a plane ticket and lift tickets.  It was truly an experience to never forget.  The sheer number of runs and the length of the runs were massive…nothing compared to what I was used to at my local mountain.  And one of my favorite aspects of Whistler was not getting down the mountain but getting up the mountain.  Can you say gondola…yupp, that’s right…no more freezing in a chair lift to the top of the mountain.  I got to experience warmth in an enclosed 10 person heated gondola.  Awesome!…Yes, I know!  Another great amenity is their backcountry.  This was my first experience of powder.  I heard stories but never experienced it for myself.  Lucky for me, I was at the pinnacle of mountains. Check out this amazing clip and you’ll know what I’m talking about…
