VANCOUVER — Justin Trudeau is applauding his personal security detail for their skills on the ski hill.
The prime minister took some time out of running the country over the weekend to shred some powder with his family in Whistler, B.C.
Fellow snowboarders and skiers alike took to social media, posting pictures with the photo-friendly leader.
Trudeau was asked light-heartedly at an event today in Vancouver whether he jeopardized his security by snowboarding with his bodyguards.

Trudeau praised the RCMP and said he was pleased to see they're as good on the slopes as they are anywhere else in the world, prompting applause and laughter from the crowd.
The prime minister is in B.C. this week to meet with provincial and territorial premiers as well as First Nations leaders at Vancouver's biennial Globe conference on clean technology.
