Bio
Like so many others that have migrated to Whistler in search of pow and fun, Dana Flahr left his roots in Kamloops, B.C. to find a niche. By the time the teen years hit he was already a regular fixture in Whistler, B.C., immersing himself in the scene and learning everything he could about big mountain skiing.
Whether he was bussing tables at night to shred by day, or painting houses in the summer to buy a sled the next winter, Flahr has always shown enviable drive and determination and admirable talent. He’s the kind of guy that would never miss a powder day, choose a chick over fresh turns, or rush his humble success. He loves it.
