The stoke meter has been high all week long in Whistler with the World Ski and Snowboard Festival (WSSF)<\/a> in full swing. Every night has drawn goggle tanned adorned skiers and snowboarders indoors to events and onto the patios in the afternoon for apr\u00e8s. There hasn\u2019t been a lull of excitement all week and Saturday night was no exception. One might say the second Saturday of the festival is the climax of the whole event. A stacked day with the finals for the Monster Boarderstyle<\/a> taking place mid-afternoon followed by a ski down and out to the Fido stage. You could hear the thunder rolling from the stage\u00a0from none other than Busta Rhymes \u2013 yeah that\u2019s right, Busta Rhymes was performing for free<\/em> on the Fido stage! It felt like the entire village was dancing! When Busta cleared the stage the crowd did a 180 and filled the already packed Longhorn patio<\/a> for a roof top show by legendary DJ Z-Trip<\/a>! It was non stop, in every direction there was a party, good vibes and plenty of skiers and boarders with smiles plastered all over their faces. And then the lights dimmed.<\/p>\n A big \u201cHello Whistler\u201d echoed from the Fido Tower and interrupted the party infused crowd for the main event of the night, the Gibbons Style Session. YES, the Gibbons Style Session was back for another year of mayhem! Big name pro skiers and snowboarders from around the globe stood atop a massive jump crafted by the skilled Whistler Blackcomb parks crew ready to launch, huck and flip their steeze into the crowds below, accompanied by the Fire and Ice crew<\/a>.<\/p>\n
