During Whistler’s ARC’TERYX Deep Winter Photo Challenge Presented by GORE-TEX®, products, professional photographers are given 72 hours to shoot in-bounds at Whistler Blackcomb, capturing athletes in their natural mountain habitat of powder-filled bowls, glades, and après bars.

Each photographer will create a montage of the best images from the three days and their slide shows will be shown in front of a live audience on January 19, at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

The slideshows will be judged by a panel of industry professionals with an award of $9,000 and the title of “King of Storms” up for grabs.
