Thigh deep powder and rolling deep with a large crew makes for another really fun day.

BACKCOUNTRY TOURING!!!!! MEGA POST

I had the most amazing opportunity to go into some of Whistler's back-country today. So sick...I can't even begin to describe how awesome it was on so many levels. I was accompanied by Craig, Anthony, and Etienne...Real good dudes! They were all on split boards(snowboards that can become skis) and I was on a pair of Yupis(snowshoes/mini skis). Pronounced (U-Pees). Seriously some of the best runs of my life....open mountain faces and tree runs with zero tracks, steep, deep and no one within ear shot. aaaaaahhhhhhhh.....so incredible! There's some GoPro vids on the way and super huge thanks to Logan for letting me borrow his never before used Avi set-up. Oh and Mike Jones for his Yupis.

ONE OF THE BEST DAYS EVER.

Birthday Stick and Poke

I hooked up my friend Louie for his birthday last night. Sick spot for a SnP.

 He barely flinched the whole time...dude is hard.


I showed up late for dinner...

Had another awesome bluebird pow day today.
