What kind of snowboard am I going to buy? Where should we go for lunch? Or beers? Will we even go snowboarding this weekend?
What if the reality of the last question began to fade? The rest seem trivial in comparison to the ramifications of our changing world. Hot on the heels of 50 Years Of Going Beyond, The Big Picture is Whistler Blackcomb’s new documentary series to look beyond the questions that may affect us individually, acknowledging they are merely blips in the grand scheme of our future.
Will what we enjoy today be there for the next generation of riders? Will they want to ride, or will they be too occupied with computer screens? Is our advance into the backcountry safe, and how are resorts encouraging proper safety practices? And finally, do resorts have a future? Or will a changing climate force them to adapt, maybe for the worse?
While these questions have a significant impact on our lifestyle, the issues go beyond snowboarding, skiing, or anyone that participates in outdoor adventure. These are issues for mankind.
The Big Picture debuts on September 27th, along with a discussion for how we can be the change needed to guarantee our lifestyle to a new generation of snowboarders.
