What is your favorite mountain destination in the world?
One of ours is the Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia on Canada’s west coast.
In mid-February, Whistler Blackcomb surpassed its average annual snowfall (1,025cm, 404 inches) with three months left in the ski/snowboard season.
The resort shared this cool Dendrite Studios video showing the mid-winter Storm Season.
Be inspired!

What is the coolest Mountain Monday video?
It may be Dendrite Studios’ official trailer for their debut 2010 HD ski film “Out of the Shadows.” We discovered it via Mountain Equipment Co-op.
Says Dendrite Studios:
“Proudly shot in the mountains of British Columbia, Out of the Shadows features the finest athletes who have been in the shadows for too long. This is their shot and their opportunity to break out on film. They bring their lives with them and shred the mountains with un-inhibited passion on a daily basis. We bring you their stories.”
