Whistler Mountain Bike Park and The Collective Celebrate Six Year Sponsorship

The world premiere of Season’s, the newest mountain bike film from The Collective film group, takes place April 11, opening night of the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park has been a proud sponsor of The Collective for the past six years, allowing the crew access and support to film in the world famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park.

The Collective filmed for ten days straight in the bike park last summer, with all seven of the film’s riders taking part. “It is rare that a film crew has all of it’s riders in one location for that length of time,” says Jeremy Roche, Whistler Blackcomb Summer Business Manager. “The fall riding conditions were incredible and The Collective crew got some amazing footage. We are so excited to be working with the team once again,” continues Roche.

“Seeing the riders ‘train’ down A-Line was one of the highlights of shooting in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park last summer” say’s Jamie Houssian of The Collective. Check out exclusive footage from their Whistler Bike Park shoot on www.whistlerbike.com
