What does an MBUK art editor/international jetsetter/office love god and all-round nice guy do with his time off?

Well, we don't know anyone like the above but MBUK art guru Jamer has just come back from his hols in Whistler - we're not jealous at all...

And before you start thinking that this is just an outlet for him to laud the good time he's just had on the rest of us then think again, for Jamer has been checking out what happens to the bike parks when they're covered in a white blanket by mother nature.

Pictures speak a thousand words so have a look at the beauties below...


Here's three ramps popping out through the snow


What's left of Crankworx


Here's Jimmer with the Boneyard in the background


We thought this was super-imposed, but he tells us it isn't. Very impressive.


Bike-ski/ Ski-bike. Cool.


Here's what the snowboarders play on...


What a view...


It's like the view from our office...


If we close our eyes and dream.

WARNING: Ladies [and men] - don't get yourself too hot and bothered over the next picture. Imagine what it's like working with this hunk on a daily basis...


Sadly though, he's taken.


It's amazing that Mrs Jamer is riding this rail - she broke two ribs the day before! Jamer says he forced her to ride - "last day and all". What a caring boyfriend!
