Each season I have a goal of hitting 100 days usually it takes the full season from October to June to collect the big 100th day on snow.  However this season I was able to get out on the snow more often, taking full use of ride breaks and managed to rack in my 100th [...]

One of the most popular events at the Telus Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC is the pro photographer showdown and it went down on Thursday night at the conference centre (sold out as usual).  This was the first year that I bought a ticket in advance and made it into the show to [...]

It’s another beautiful (well overcast) day in Whistler, BC but the Grenade Games make every day a good day on the slopes with the fun antics, good riders and all around good times.  I headed up with evo’s Molly, Chris, Gorio and Amy to check out the superpipe competition.  Of all the pipe contests I’ve [...]

After attending last years Grenade Games in Whistler during the Telus Festival, I knew the combination of Grenade Games and Telus Festival meant coming back year after year to be a part of it.  The fun atmosphere of the games mixed with the vibe of the festival was ideal and the good shredding on both [...]

The journey yesterday took longer than expected but it was packed full of fun stops along the way until I reached my final destination of Whistler, BC.  I arrived just in time to drop off my bags and pick up my friend Carrie before we headed to the Asymbol Exhibit and Opening Party.  The Asymobol [...]

It’s April which means it’s time to head back to Washington & Whistler!  I try to hit up Whistler at least once every year for my favorite time of year, the Telus Festival when snowboarding meets music meets canadian beer.  This year the Grenade Games are doing their 6th year and 2nd year in Whistler [...]

I’ve made the trek to Whistler for the past 10 years and it is always an adventure, this year I remained in Whistler for 7 days which I wish lasted longer. I have plenty of Whistler stories but they all stay in Whistler, thank goodness for that! Each year I find myself less [...]

The trip is winding down and coming to an end with today being the last day of snowboarding before traveling back to Colorado.  This trip hasn’t been about the nightlife, but just enjoying friends company and snowboarding together.  Today we were up early, to pack our gear up and get out of the condo for [...]

After riding for the day, we pre-gamed it up at the GLC which was right next to the Big Air Competition. The athletes had practice time so got to watch their runs before the crowds came out to watch.

A mini video of the event, with some footage of the Big Air jump with riders [...]

Since December, I’ve been sporting one jacket all season and that one jacket is the 686 Snaggletooth jacket.  I’ve received a ton of compliments, comments and funny looks from it. It’s easy to recognize me since I’m usually the only person wearing it, in Steamboat a least.  
 
Today while riding Whistler during the demos I [...]
