Here's abit of what Whistler's Pique news magazine had to say:
"There is the requisite handsome blond male lead, Freestyle Max, who though remarkably loyal to his dark, silent sidekick Justin, nicknamed Mute for his brevity of speech, is just as remarkably obtuse about women, especially spoiled rich girl Laura who secretly craves the handsome lout. And louts they all are, an oddly compelling group of foul-mouthed adult-sized but emotionally prepubescent characters who rarely consider consequences of their practical jokes or petulant actions....Want to know who has the best burgers in town? Or where to get your bindings repaired? It’s in here in a practical but unlikely to be Tourism Whistler-approved two-page village map that includes location markers for the medical centre, the physiotherapist, the post office (“always a long line”), the info centre, the library (“15 minutes of free internet a day”) and, of course, the liquor store (“grog shop”). For Whistlerites it’s a whole lotta fun to see local landmarks recreated to a T: the front of Marketplace IGA, Whistler Health Care Centre, Moe Joe’s and even the Whistler-Blackcomb logo on park rails are sure to produce a chorus of “look at that!”"

snowboarding magazine) has accurately drawn four
