I covered the DC HIT & RUN EVENT in Whistler at the end of March in a very foggy day. Here's how she went:

FINAL STOP OF THE DC HIT & RUN IN WHISTLER, BC - RECAP

March 28,2016

The final stop of the DC Hit & Run went down at Whistler Blackcomb last weekend. The course was steep with deep smooth bowl turns that had the 80+ competitors more managing their speed more than milking for speed. Rider’s ultimate goal was to get down the course as fast as they can while being judged on their style and trickery on the three placed features (40ft jump, rail section, and a mandatory 2 hit pipe run) where riders earned valuable points for time deductions.

Witches usually have long chins, so we call this spot the witches titty. But in mid march, the light is more or less non existent on this feature and favors only the brave. Rusty Ockenden was quick to land this front 3 on the nipple and onto the next feature by 9am.’
