From farm to table

Pique News Magazine — When the first real shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic were being felt in the Sea to Sky in mid-March, one of the sectors most affected was the food industry. Businesses were sent for a loop with restaurants forced to close initially, while most residents stocked up more than usual at local grocery stores.

Pique News Magazine — Though pop culture and sports alike continue to be a man's world of archetypal women, mountain bikers in the Sea to Sky are writing their own narratives. Even as women continue to make up a larger portion of sport's population, making up a majority of riders in some communities, men continue to be disproportionately represented in co-ed contests.

Pique News Magazine — From Wayne Gretzky winding down on Broadway to Michael Jordan taking the last jumper of his career in Washington, it's fairly common to see legends ply their trade in a new and unfamiliar locale late in their careers. Such was the case with Lorne McFadgen.

Olympic offshoots

Olympic offshoots

Pique News Magazine — More than 40 years after its first attempt, the resort of Whistler finally achieved what it had initially set out to do: host a Winter Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee approved the Vancouver-Whistler bid in 2003, and on Feb. 12, 2010, the world's most impressive athletic stage came to British Columbia.

Need for speed

Need for speed

Pique News Magazine — click to enlarge The numbers don't lie. The world's lugers, skeleton athletes and bobsledders are coming out to the Whistler Sliding Centre to seek the fastest speeds they've ever achieved in their respective sports-and the track itself is certainly willing to cooperate.

The hunt for gold

Pique News Magazine — Approaching the banks of the Fraser River in Yale, it's not difficult to see gold in nearly everything. It's likely similar to the optimism and naiveté-or perhaps, the desperation-that prospectors felt when they made their way into what we now know as British Columbia back in 1858.

Steep Measures

Pique News Magazine — Though it was against his will-and better judgment-Dave "Dr. Damage" Clement ultimately kept his unwritten rule intact at the inaugural Saudan Couloir Ski Race Extreme in 1987. That rule? That he would never organize a race he wouldn't do himself.

NHL goaltenders resigned to their new, tighter pants

Pioneer Press — VANCOUVER - In February, talk about who's wearing what is usually reserved for the Academy Awards red carpet, but in 2017, it has come to NHL dressing rooms. Goaltenders, famously superstitious and devoted to routine, are having a hard time accepting the fact that, starting Saturday, they have to start wearing tighter, sleeker pants.

The Ice Guys

Pique News Magazine — There are only a couple hundred sliding-track workers on the entire planet and they are entrusted with the safety of bobsleigh, luge and skeleton athletes travelling speeds over 140 kilometres per hour. Pique took a behind-the-scenes look at the Whistler Sliding Centre ice crew earlier this season as the workers aimed to create the best sheet on the IBSF and FIL World Cup circuits.

Helping the helpers

Helping the helpers

Pique News Magazine — In February 2010, all eyes were on British Columbia. Specifically, Vancouver and Whistler. With over $7 billion spent to bring the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games to the West Coast, and more than $81 million pledged to Canadian athletes to give them every possible shot at a gold-medal rush in front of the world, the two-week sporting extravaganza was set to be the nation's moment of glory.

Back to their roots - and rocks

Pique News Magazine — As another strong season for mountain biking in Whistler comes to a close, many will almost immediately start dreaming about hopping on two wheels once again in 2016.
