Grand Finale, Savage Blade, The End and someone is going home in a new car.

The bottom half of Whistler hasn’t been getting the same kind of snow as the upper mountain this season, so the Whistler parks staff had their work cut out for them when they set out to build the course for the Grenade Games Six Grand Finale. After last years amazing version of a slopestyle, we wanted to once again bring something new to the idea of slopestyle courses. The trick is to make it fun enough to ride and exciting enough to watch. But the bottom line is that it wouldn’t be Grenade Games unless we gave everyone a thousand options of how to get wild.

By the time practice was over I knew this was going to be a legendary night. People were trying next level tricks in places you’d never expect, and putting together imaginative and sketchy lines. Considering the hectic days and late nights that had already taxed competitors, it was a small miracle that there were enough riders left standing to step to the course, but in fact many had to be cut as the Invite list was longer than there was room and everyone wanted to take a swing at the 10 thousand dollar first prize.

I’ll just say this, riding without a shirt is sketchy on the rough spring slush, but dropping your droors as well is borderline psychotic. That’s just one of the many colourful words that people were using to describe Kael Hill’s performance this week. Although he may not have stood on any podiums, he took home three different 500-dollar prizes for his various antics, and more importantly made an indelible impression on everyone who watched him.
