Jenine

At 21, Jenine wrote the business plan for a bike and snowboard shop after teaching skiing and snowboard racing in Japan. On July 1st 1995, Jenine opened Evolution Whistler! As Whistler grows and continues to evolve, Jenine's excitement for riding down mountains is as wild as ever and helping others to enjoy the mountains brings her the most joy.

Trevor

The lesser spotted mountain leopard has more in common with Trevor than you can imagine. Moving through the mountains with speed and grace, any photographic evidence of this mysterious creature is hard to capture without significant effort. Trevor is also a walking encyclopaedia  when it comes to anything snowboard and bike related.
