The Real CBC

As part of the magical mystery shred tour this season, Herndada, Uncle Craig, and I got put down by our homie Ryan Proctor to one of the illest zones at Whistler Blackcomb, the CBC. Named because the the trails above it are referenced by Canadian TV shows, CBC is a glade run on Blackcomb that was only added to the resort property 7 years ago and is still largely unpatrolled. What makes it totally unique is the fact that the entire area was hit by forest fires this summer and is so burnt out that there isn’t a single branch to get in your way and the only real hazard is brushing up into a trunk and etching a line of soot across your coat. But shredding there is like cruising some post-apocalyptic nuclear winter warzone, it is ill as fuck. That’s Mike Hernandez above ripping a big backside lipslide on a snowed out boulder in the middle of CBC. Find this spot if you can! More photos by Craig Wetherby as well as some of the fires from the Ministry Of Forest and Range BC after the jump.
