Whistler. It might seem like a mythical place – a distant shred Valhalla of perfect parks and bottomless BC pow – but it actually exists. And we’re giving YOU, and a lucky friend or partner, the chance to go there on the snowboarding holiday of a lifetime. Here’s what you stand to win:

• Return flights to Vancouver International Airport and transfers to Whistler
• Two 5-day lift tickets for Whistler Blackcomb including access to the Peak 2 Peak Gondola
• Two 1-day “Fresh Tracks” tickets which get you early access to the lifts and a breakfast buffet in Whistler Mountain’s Roundhouse Lodge.
• Seven nights’ accommodation in a pimpin’ suite in Whistler.
• One CAD 100 Whistler restaurant voucher.
• And vouchers for two other rad post-shred activities*.

In total, the prize is worth a cool CAD 4,500  – which is over £3,000. So what do you have to do to win? Well appropriately enough (given the fairy-tale nature of the destination) we want you to find a golden goose.

HOW TO WIN:

Our art director has taken a leaf out of Whitelines’ founder Chod’s book and hidden a golden goose somewhere in the pages of our November Issue (Whitelines 110, with Xavier de le Rue on the cover) which is IN SHOPS NOW. All you have to do is discover this feathery-little fella, and tell us which page he’s on in the competition box below. Good luck!
