CBS came by the house today to shoot a follow-up interview with me for the ALT Games Show which will air sometime in early May. I’ll be sure to post the television schedule when I receive it.
After the interview, we kicked back and relished in the idea that we didn’t really have to do anything for the remainder of the day.
To pass the hours, we spent considerable time puttering around the house; we cleaned, did some computer work, washed our cars, etc… This evening, we headed out to Blockbuster and rented seven DVD’s.
Looks like our plans for tomorrow are all taken care of…
In other news, a nice photograph of me jumping at the WSI Big Air just popped up in my inbox. Check it!
Each April, Telus comes storming into Whistler Village.
For twelve straight days the town goes into overdrive; visitors truly enjoy a marathon of good times. This year was no exception…
Telus 09′ came complete with forty-five free concerts, ski and snowboard events galore, filmmaker showdowns, pro photographer showdowns, fashion shows, an onslaught of legendary theme parties and much more.
We were treated to exceptional weather this go-round; the sun shone down on us each and every day and it made for a heated week.
A big highlight for me, and ultimately the reason I ventured out to Telus, was the World Ski Invitational Big Air. After battling my way through some tough qualifying rounds, I landed in the finals where thirty skiers jumped in front of a wildly energetic crowd, 15,000 strong:
As the Big Air concluded, so too did my time competing at the event. For the rest of my time in Whistler I was able to sit back, relax and enjoy the show; and what a show it was…
Monster Energy was kind enough to put me up in the Hotal Adara with my man Petey. If that weren’t enough, they really went out of their way to ensure that our week would be fun-filled to the brim.
I spent the rest of my days with an awesome crew; we enjoyed more fun skiing/boot skiing on the hill, fantastic musical performances and some of the most memorable group-meals to date. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners fit for a king!
The after-parties weren’t too shabby either; check out Petey’s update for some fun late night debauchery.
Below are some images from my digi-cam and also some shots I stole from the web:
I’ve included some shots here that I shot on my Holga camera. The photos didn’t turn out quite like I imagined they would, but they’re still fun and I hope you’ll get a feel for the Telus experience.
Sorry to post so many! Hope you’ve got a few minutes to browse through them all:
