It's been so wet in Whistler, B.C., that skiers and snowboarders zipped up their wetsuits for splash landings through puddles in a Beach Boys-themed surf video.

The video, posted by members of the University of British Columbia Freeride club, shows riders splashing down in a giant slushy puddle to the tune of Surfin' Safari.

Seth Gillis and Peter Wojnar recorded the video with friends and a GoPro camera on the long weekend. Gillis said they wanted to make light of the spring-like snow conditions that have been getting powder-lovers down.

"Basically just that you could have fun no matter what the conditions were," said the 20-year-old UBC geography student.

"We were trying to make the best of the weather. Obviously it was not optimal for skiing."

'You'd be better off surfing'

The group made the video just as Whistler was soaked with a Pineapple Express that brought 60 millimetres of rain, and the temperature remained over freezing above the Whistler-Blackcomb peaks.

But Wojnar, 22, isn't ready to write off this ski season.

"Any season is unpredictable. It could turn on in a week and not stop for a while," said Wojnar, also a geography student at UBC.

"But for now the conditions definitely look like you'd be better off surfing."
