WhaT iT is: This park has two of three phases complete with an old school snake run into a 6’ bowl (sorry no coping) and a big tranny square with multiple quarter pipes from 3’ to 9’, a spine, bowl corner and fun box with hubba in the middle. On the back side of the concrete square is an asphalt area with wooden ramps, originally built for some comps a few years ago, the ramp armor structures are still holding strong. There is a double flat bank box, 9’ quarter, 5’ quarter with flat banks on either side and a funky fun box that is largely ignored but does offer a hubba, up gap and flat banks.
LocaTed: 4330 Blackcomb Way, It's at the end of the Day Parking Lot, tucked away in the forest by Fitzsimons Creek.

NoTes: Rumor has it that the third phase will be a plaza style venue with a much needed mini ramp, but nothing has been started as of yet. Another plan in the works is the installation of stadium lights to keep things rolling well after dark. I even saw the guy with the blue prints asking skaters where WE need the lights!

King of Bowl |
the King of Bowl series final in Whistler. The event had a great turnout with representation from groms, girls (2 heats), geezers (longboarders) and pros. I missed the final king being crowned but it did not matter because the whole show was killer.
