Today is the first day of competition in whistler with the slope athletes taking to the course. After bluebird skies yesterday the weather has turned today but the riders are still going hard. I was at the top of the course to give you a quick look at what the athletes are riding.
The competition is taking place as I write this so watch out for more coverage from the WSI all weekend on Newschoolers.
