ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
The TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival
has a way of leaving lasting impressions:
Fergie’s heli-drop onto Whistler’s mainstage with
no skis but one hell of a set of ski legs.
Cameron Diaz’s Hollywood smile when a festival
punter desperately fell from a Whistler barstool to
hook her attention. Her big laugh and There’s
Something About Mary reply: “Nice try, buddy.”
TWSSF-bound American Glen Plake’s forced
about-face at the US/Canuck border when
ancient transgressions came back to kick him in
the butt. As if every Whistlerite — or every chaste
Canadian — is Mister Clean. Insert Diaz
laughtrack here.
8 THE TWSSF ISSUE 2008
The lingerie girls and guys who made such a
huge and lasting impression at least year’s festival
fashion show — especially those with undies
painted-on.
And then there are those athletes and their
moves no one’s ever seen — or attempted —
before. The ka-ching and the bling they score for
busting out of the pack means we lazy-ass
watchers won’t be let down.
I can’t tell you what the lasting memory from this
year’s fest will be. I can tell you that this season
TWSSF is in its lucky 13 th year… so who knows?
Anything can happen.
And trust me, it will.
