Embedded Day 1: Mike Douglas Settles into his New Home atop Whistler Blackcomb

Legendary Pro Skier Mike Douglas is going to be embedded atop the peaks of Whistler Blackcomb to serve as our ambassador for when winter arrives. He will be standing watch, armed with only a computer, camera and a sleeping bag. The goal? To document the Inside Story of one of the most amazing mountains in the world as it transitions into the most amazing season — WINTER!

Without friends, family and the modern comforts of home Mike will endure the elements to bring us this innovative look at Whistler Blackcomb from a perspective that for most, is unfathomable.
