Whistler Sunset Shoot

Longer days and slushy spring conditions called for a voleurz sunset park shoot on our home mountain Whistler.

We compiled a crew to session the 80ft true-table including snowboarders Warren Williams, Andrew Jackson, Nathan Ramler, Paul Welters, Scott Sych, and skiers Joe and Cam Schuster, Max Hill, Josh Stack and Leigh Powis. We drove up Whistler mountain on a snowcat only to be greeted by some intimidating rain clouds. A few hours of snow and hail prevailed as we waited patiently, finger crossed.

To our surprise the clouds lifted and we were blessed by a 45 minute window of diffused sunset light and orange clouds. The session commenced with some clean rotations by Warren Williams and Josh Stack. Joe Schuster with a cab 720 pre-grab, and brother Cam to follow. Andrew Jackson was stoked, being the only one to claim a 1080. Max Hill pulled through in a big way with the cleanest zero spin I've ever shot. I guess he doesn't just tap wood these days.

Big ups to Ryan Proctor, the Whistler/Blackcomb PR staff, Anto the builder, Lani the photographer, and the stoked ski patrollers and snowmobilers. What a great way to end another winter season…. bring on summer!
