Monster's "The Shred Show" kicked off day 3 with the 5 Star TTR slopestyle event. $25,000 dollars was given away on an intimidating course that forced riders to earn every penny.

Despite the fog and weather changes, riders charged the monstrous features throwing caution to the wind and laying down some serious top to bottom runs.

A best of three run format made gave riders enough time to get it right, and when the fog lifted the top three panned out like this.

3rd Logan Haubrich $4000 – He had his phone cut off this morning, his credit card is maxed, and he’s just missed the money in contests all winter long. Perfect back-to-back 9’s helped get his phone back on today.

2nd  Ian Thorley $6000 – One run is all it took to just edge out Logan for the second place cash. Smooth runs with epic style, Ian Thorley got his talent paid today.

1st Antoine Truchon $15,000 – Attacked the course with reckless abandon. Tucking into a massive back 10 double on the final jump was the clincher for Antoine, a well deserved win for a kid who’s been riding well all week.

With sunny skies and a few meters of new snow of the ground, it was time to head to the Whistler backcountry once again. The Pro Ride crew headed up early to find the perfect jump away from the crowds and chaos of the resort. We found a perfect spot in the sunshine, and the building of the jump began.



Looks like a good spot. And the sun's just coming up!

Don stoked! on how the jump turned out.

Megan finding her comfort zone in the air.

KT was throwing a variety of frontside spins all day.

Sometimes you have to leave the winter wonderland of Whistler and see something new.
The Pro Ride crew took a day to go explore Vancouver and see what the city had to offer. It was a nice break from the riggers of Whistler life, but everyone's happy to be back in the mountains again.

Seems like these days everyone has a way to capture their favorite moments from the day. With camera’s getting smaller and smaller, and with the introduction of the ever popular GOPRO life has never been documented so well.

This year February 1st was a Wednesday, but it could have also been the best day of your life...

The Pro Ride crew woke up early in the morning heading for fresh tracks breakfast in the Roundhouse, at the top of the Whistler gondola.

KT, Benny, and Andrew stoked to be uploading at 7:30

At the top of the gondola we were greeted by fresh snow, breath taking views and the promise of sunny skies ahead.

Before any pow smashing could begin, there was a large amount of food that needed taking care of.

Full of anticipation... and breakfast we headed outside to strap in.

Charging down the first run of the day.
