Its THAT time of year again… when the world as we know it converges on Whistler for The Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival, a week long celebration of snowsports, music arts and culture…and debauchery of course.
The day started with a “sunrise” scooter ride, our destination was to be these incredible rice terraces…no more than an hours scooter ride from our Villa.
Alex Applegate, evo employee and pro-skier, takes ski trip of a lifetime to Switzerland with Liberty crew teammates Travis Redd and David Lesh. The trip was covered by Freeskier magazine and Skinet.com. Check it out:
This is real, and I encourage everyone to participate.

All you have to do is go into the woods on April 24th and drink a beer. Mark your calenders; nothing beats tree-hugging and beer-chugging.
In case you have very little experience with nature walking, camping, hiking, are unable to locate a tree near your home, or have never been outside, Lonely Planet made things easy and put together a guide featuring the best places in America to experience nature with a beer in hand. Not surprisingly, the Pacific Northwest was first on the list.
Its crazy how easy it is to wake up early when you are in a place like this I swear every morning we’ve been up by 7a! Aside from adjusting to the time warping from time zones, there is so much relaxing to do, so many things I want to see.
Come in to evo thru April 12th to ENTER TO WIN a 2 night stay at the new luxurious Evolution, a 5 Star hotel at the base of Whister Blackcomb’s Creekside Gondola!
Man its certainly difficult, torturous even to leave our coastal nest that we’ve grown accustomed to life in Bukit. Im really only going off of Bryce’s contagious rants and what I’ve read in books but I am pretty excited to drop in on Indonesia’s artistic and cultural center.
Not everyone remembers an experience the same way. Danny seems to have stored the memory of our recent trip to Idaho in a different section of his brain than I did, and he requested that I post his diary entry for all to see (just to clear up any confusion). So here’s what he has to say…
My Trip to Idaho, by Danny Martin
Dear Diary:
A few weeks ago, I’m sitting at my desk and a message pops up. Its Courtney. She’s sitting right behind me, but still chooses to communicate electrocially. Mostly because she doesn’t want anyone to find out she does about 2% work all day. Anyway, she wants to know if I would like to head over to Sandpoint with her, Clark, and Kate. Excited? Yup. What could be better than a spring break adventure at Schweitzer. Unfortunately, I drew the short straw and had to ride with Kate.
Because of Kate’s usual lack of planning, we left evo mid day on Friday. We caravanned with Courtney and Clark, except they managed to leave at the reasonable hour of 9:30am. The weather forecast looked meager, but with the Stomp Games happening that weekend we were all excited. Being from the East Coast, Kate always gets excited to ski a mountain with over 350 vertical feet, but Courtney, Clarke and myself were especially pumped to go back to Schweitzer - a great mountain all of us had spent many seasons skiing in the past.
Leaving Seattle went smoothly. It was lunchtime, so Kate and I grabbed sandwiches and hit the road. Open country and sunshine ahead, rain, heavy traffic, and the crowded city behind… things were looking good. Kate was driving Patricks car, a bro brah dude mobile super iced out with a pimpin’ system. After she demanded we listen to Tone Loc’s “Funky Cold Medina” thirty times in a row, I went to grab a new CD. When I was finished rummaging through the stale French fries, loose change, and crumpled receipts I grabbed a cd and looked up. Lights and sirens… Great, not even to Ellensburg and Kate is breaking the law again. Strike one.
It’s simple:
Discount WB lift ticket + get your ticket at evo = FREE tee from Casual
If you’re heading north to WB, pick up your lift tickets before you go and save up to $11 per ticket. On top of that you’ll snag yourself a sweet tee. Plus you’ll get to say hi to all the evo store staff.
That sounds to me like a trifecta – three obvious reasons to pop in before cruising to WB.
*Limit one t-shirt per customer.
A fresh start with another session of Yoga was followed up with yet another delicious breakfast that seamlessly transitioned to another day of relaxation. I probably spent most of my day poolside and reading.
