Whistler
Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival
 April
17 to 26, 2009 - The
defining celebration of Whistler, the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard
Festival is a 10 day and night showcase of the latest progressions
in the skiing and snowboarding world, where even the arts events
are packed full of adrenaline. Combining Canada’s largest
free outdoor concert series with career-making showdowns of
action sports and lifestyle fashion, photography and film, the
best spring snow conditions, and burn-the-candle nightlife,
it’s a celebration of everything that’s core to
mountain culture.
In
art, in the practice of a sport, in life, every action generates
a reaction. TWSSF’s newest programming for 2009 responds
to an evolving culture, and invites interaction – propulsion,
revolution, a change in momentum, a truthful reaction, the surrender
to impulse… Because when we let editing and suppression
and fear of consequences fall away, we are left riding the fat
tongue of the moment into brilliance.
In
14 years, the TELUS Festival has become North America’s
largest annual snow sports and music celebration, spawning imitators
around the world, and earning the tag, Mother of All End of
Season Parties.
The
best things in life are still free. Zune Concert Series line-up
promises 10 days of pilgrim-worthy free outdoor concerts, featuring
Ozomatli, Ten Second Epic, The Stills, Metric, and DJ Ztrip.
Grenade
Games lobs into town. Snowboarding’s infamous end of season
party is by the riders, for the riders. Giving Canadians the
chance to become Grenadians for the first time in its history,
the Grenade Games’ line-up includes a Poker Run, dual
slalom moguls course, pipe and slopestyle comp, and entices
legends of snowboarding out of retirement to ride alongside
current pros and up-and-comers.
Discover
tomorrow’s artistic superstars. Debuting at this year’s
Festival is the mutant sibling of the Pro Photographer Showdown,
the ThreePointOh Multimedia Challenge. Plus, State of the Art,
the Canada-wide Designer Search and Expose, and the new Chef
Challenge.
Skate
comes to the party. The new Festival opener, Skate & Deploy,
followed by the Skate of the Art Opening party offers the perfect
segue from winter to spring for fans of flow.
Graphic
mastery gains momentum. Enter year four of the open crowd-sourcing
collaboration that introduces graphic design talent to snowboards
as canvass. Masterpiece in Motion entries are due March 1.
Satisfy
yourself that there’s substance to the hype.
Book off April 17 to 26 2009, for the 14th annual TELUS Festival.
