Hey guys,

So I was skiing Whistler/Blackcomb BC all last week for spring break, and unfortuntely was mostly skiing by myself (as is usually the case) so I couldn't really take many photos of some of the really fun chutes and couloirs I hit, and was wondering if anyone on here knew of some good links to photos of a few areas at Whistler/Blackcomb I skied. In particular I'm looking for a photo of this chute just past tower 10 under the Peak Chair on Whistler Mountain which apparently is locally known as "the coffin", I hit it last wednesday with pretty primo conditions that made it skiable as I gather it usually isn't. Really intense chute; definitely one of the gnarlier (and scarier) chutes I've dropped, just wish I could find a pic. Also hit a couple pretty crazy chutes at Blackcomb off of Chainsaw Ridge near Couloir Extreme, including Hawaii 5.0 and some of the lines off of False Face and Bushrat. Would be awesome to find a good pic of that whole huge headwall there too. I've tried searching biglines.com and TGR's website with mixed success. Big up to anyone who has some pics of the chutes/couloirs on upper W/BC!

Holla,

Phil.
 
i hit the coffin bout 6 yrs ago when i was there, not so primo conditions. entrance made me shit myself, but once ur there and ppl are hollering from the chair, theres no going back.

no pic tho.
 
wish i coulda met up with you, just got home last night after 10 days up there and the kids I was with were scared the whole time, I funally got em to follow me around under spankys ladder on thursday...

I got third chair on Peak on Wednesday: I almost killed a patroller becaue I was first to the top of the cirque and he told me it wasnt gonna open because they couldnt get the cornice to fall and it was unsafe, I told him i was planning to air the cornice, he told me "no way you could ski that" I told him "move that rope and watch me" he said no way so i skied the couloir, not ten minutes later I see the same patroller drop into the cirque for first tracks, FUCK THAT GUY!
 
its amazing what you can find on google these days...

but yeah, this is as good as ive seen

^ see that really black cliffy line kinda in the center to the right of the pic...it is almost under the chair and is about the darkest spot in the photo.....thats where the coffin is. Its a short chute, but you gotta commit, and the chair lift onlookers doesn't help much. 
 
coffins fun shit, though some gaper usually scrapes it out. i like to ski down the side and drop in farther down, bigger drop into it that way.
 
Ah, i was there on wed too, peak chair of whistler was soooo sick that day. Thurs I spent a good deal of time in Coiloir extreme and that area
 
is it still snowing in whislter. ive been praying it is cause i want to hit some tree pillows and shit hen i go this week
 
Two of my buddies did it on our trip out there, its pretty sick. i got them both on film but i have never seen the footage. i didn't think i had the ability at the time so i never got to do it. i was going to try it when iw as out there march 10th, but the peak was shut doen (damnit!). if i ever find the footage i will post it, my buddie hit a lip at the bottom and did a pretty big unexpected air. it was pretty funny.
