DEEP WINTER PHOTO CHALLENGE PRESENTED BY ARC'TERYX & GORE-TEX

January 9 - Fairmont Chateau Whistler 7pm

Inspired by the awesome storms that often rage through the Coast Mountains each January, dumping feet upon feet of perfect powder onto Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the 3rd Annual Deep Winter Photo Challenge has stormed into town. This grass-roots celebration of the storm season and the photographers who capture it will see Jordan Manley, last season's "King of Storms" come back to defend his crown. On the roster are some of the top ski and snowboard photographer's in North America:
  • Andrew Bradley
  • Crispin Cannon
  • Dan Carr
  • Brian Hockenstein
  • Jordan Manley
After three days of shooting in the elements, they will present their slideshows capturing epic powder days, dramatic skies, inspiring scenery, stormy conditions, deep tree skiing, and the lifestyles characterized at Whistler Blackcomb. More Information: www.deepwinterphoto.com

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Whistler Blackcomb Guest Relations
