Weekend Tripin’ in Canada…

Tiara — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:07:00 +0000

What a whirlwind of a weekend… Last weekend I flew up to Whistler, Canada for 3 days, 2 nights. Of course I wanted to stay longer, but it wasn’t in the cards this time around. Friday, April 17th was the kick off of the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival and we were hosting the Girl Powder Pink Party at Maxx Fish. Once we arrived to Whistler we picked up a festival guide checked into our hotel, The Crystal Lodge, grabbed a bite to eat at Citta and started to plan out our weekend. Once we had some food in our system it was time to get ready for the Party. Dj Tina T was able to make it up from Sin City Las Vegas to spin some tunes and man did she have the crowd going till 2 in the morning!

Saturday was a free day and of course I had to go snowboarding. It would be a sin to travel the entire way to Whistler and not hit the slopes. I met up with an old buddy, Greg Wright, who was there with Freeskier Magazine and it was on. The first thing Greg said was “How scared do you want to get?” Of course we made our way to the top of the mountain first chance we got. Although it had snowed days earlier we were still able to find some fresh snow! After a few hours of riding the Blackcomb side we made our way over to the Whistler side via the Peak to Peak Gondola. Like any other day it ended with a few Kokane (Canadian beer) at Longhorns.

I took this shot after I contoured the chute on the left!

Saturday night started off with a great art exhibit, followed with beers at Buffalo Bill’s, and then the Big Air Competition. Once the Big Air Competition ended we attempted to make our way into the silent disco after an hour wait (there were 30 people in front of us) we decided to head over to 21 Steps for a night cap. The food was amazing I high recommend it if you are traveling and staying in Whistler

Sunday was a rainy day and a travel day. None the less a long travel day which consisted of driving back to Seattle, waiting in line at the border for two hours and then driving 4 hours back to Tahoe from San Francisco. I left Whistler at 10am and arrived in Tahoe at 2:30 am the next day! Next time the trip will be much longer.

All in all it was a fantastic trip and I can’t wait to go back to Whistler! Maybe for the 2010 Olympics?!

ICER AIR 2007

Tiara — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 12:29:00 +0000

It was another beautiful weekend in San Francisco with temperatures reaching to what felt like the high seventies, and the third annual ICER Air was under way. Once again it was held in San Francisco’s AT&T’s ballpark. With “The Village” aspect set up in the parking lot and the BIG jump and half pipe set up in the stadium. Numerous vendors and local mountain resorts showed up to sell their products and give away free swag.

To keep people entertained until the big event on Saturday night BMX, Skate and FMX demos took place in the village as well as in the half pipe right next to the big booter smack in the middle of the stadium.

After the prelims Saturday afternoon, go time hit and all the athletes headed to the top of the jump… and yes they had to climb back up 3 times. Someone mentioned it was about 200 steps or so. I’m sure adrenalin was running as they hit the run. We all waited on the edge of our seats to see a combination of big airs, new and revolutionary tricks, and man-made snow in San Francisco!

Pro Snowboarder Travis Rice took first, and decided to end the night by stripping off his goggles, jersey, and jacket and throwing them into the crowd. With the people wanting more he ended his victory strip by lastly tossing his snowboard into the crowd. Someone went home very happy.

And of course there was an after party, and as always all had a good time.

Vans Cup 2007

Tiara — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 01:42:00 +0000

So I slaked just a little getting this thing off the ground. While being in Tahoe this winter I was able to have just a little fun and attended some pretty cool events. Back in the Beginning of March some of the Boys from good old Fuel TV found themselves a long way from Los Angeles at a resort called Northstar where once again the Vans Cup was being hosted. The three-day event was packed with events such as the Rail Jam, Slope style and Half Pipe and a good night of drinking and partying at the Biltmore. Lets just say that Eric was hurting for the next few days.
