A friend of Tara's was celebrating her birthday in Whistler on the final weekend of the TWSSF and we were heading up to join them.
We went up early Saturday morning, picking up the birthday girls brother who had just flown in from Ontario to join us. We boarded for the last day of our season but unfortunately it wasn't the best day to be out. Although it was a gorgeous day, the snow conditions were less than ideal, we had been spoiled from boarding in some great snow through the winter.
We called it a day earlier than usual and headed for the hotel room, meeting up with the rest of the group and settling in to a few drinks. We got upgraded into the Westin which was glorious! We could see the kicker for the big air competition that was on later that evening from our balcony, so we were all pretty stoked.
We went down and got a spot on the side of the hill for a while and I took my camera down to see what I could capture even though it was getting dark. The high ISO settings on the camera delivered acceptable results all things considered and I got some pretty fun pictures. I was stealing light from the strobes of the photographers with press passes, shooting the skiiers as the hit the apex of the jump and catching the glow from the strobes.
See some of the shots below for a few of the better images...
