Whistler Blackcomb hosted the WSI Ski Superpipe competition in it’s new 22 foot pipe Tuesday. This was the North American competition debut for a Global Cutter shaped halfpipe and the skiers where boosting due to the smooth transitions and larger landing area of the finely shaped 22 footer.

The pipe will now be handed over to the snowboarders for the Grenade Games Superpipe competition which takes place on Friday April 24th.
Down in the valley ASP is working on the slope style course for the grand finally of the Grenade Games happening Saturday evening at the base of Whistler.

  • I LOVED the Superpipe the cutter made ;)

    I hope whistler is able to acquire their own so they can keep this up. Over the course of the WSSF people were really stoked about it and would love to be able to have teh 22-foot pipe back.

    I think I'm in the above 2 photos actually. I was up there taking photos on the deck and loved what the WSI brought out. Too bad the guys for the Grenade Games were hungover or.. just not that into the whole thing.
