The HighestLevelPark on Blackcomb is shaping up with new snow and rail features. The HL table tops are growing so our top skiers and riders can find the true XL sized hits now. The new “Freddy’s Line” is almost complete with a tree gap into a multi angle spine hit. A goal post log jib and few rails complete the Freddy line which is the creation of the B park lead hand Fred Lepage. Fred got the OK from the mountain manager to expand the left side of the HL Park & to create a unique hit line out of the main park flow. Access to the Freddy Line is just after the HL pass validation gate, follow the roller road on the left side above the DJ Shack to find the new HL Park area. Further down the HL Park more jibs & rails have gone in plus a Zaugg shaped quarter pipe is now open @ the end of the HL Park line. Cooler temps but clear weather is keeping the parks hard & fast so it’s a great time to get back into the freestyle terrain while we wait for more new snow. Big props to our Park groomers on Blackcomb, Marty, Alex, Dave, JJ & Timmie for keeping the grooming & hit building @ the highest level. 

PS - Mostly skiers around for the camera this week but the SB'ers were representin' as well.

The Whistler Parks team continues to be creative with man made & natural jib set ups. Try out the new upper Park entrance which has 2 separate lines down to the Jolly Green Giant run into the HabitatPark. The first drop in takes you over a step down table with snow stairs dug under it and leads into the newly installed mini wall ride. The second drop in has the easy rainbow and kink box for an easier jib entrance to the park. On the natural side, the Rangers have the goal post log jib suspended from the trees for that wooden jib feel. The log is tied to the trees and continues to provide fun for our Park users.

Over on Blackcomb the TerrainGarden now has a new box donated from the Night Moves stock. Four mini jibs from Whistler Kids will be installed on the Countdown merge road into the lower section of the Garden for more entry level jibbing Great grooming & weather will keep the Parks fun on both mountains this week.
