The Team

Winter 2008.09

Warwick Patterson will be filming, producing and editing the podcasts. Through his company, Formula Photographic, Warwick has been producing online videos since the days of dial-up. He was named "Breakout Producer of the Year" by BIKE Magazine in 2003, and now works around the world on action sports television and video projects. His creative talents can also be found around Whistler on Resort TV screens.

You might recognize Mark "Toaster" Torlay from the rowdy Kokanee après sessions. This mind-blowing-costume-wearing, platform shoe-sporting personality is the new face of the Whistler Blackcomb Snowcast, presented by TELUS. He was nicknamed “Toaster” thanks to a helmet shaped much like a toaster that he wore snowboarding in competition. This is where he launched his pro snowboarding career which lasted six years and took him all over the world competing in various world cup events and to the biggest one of his career the “Gravity Games”. Toaster has appeared on a variety of TV shows, including the “Ride Guide” and has worked on CityTV as the “Fast Tracks Reporter”, among other accomplishments. Most recently he co-hosted a show for the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler and has hosted spots on a website called stuff2do Vancouver.
