It's coming!

Too much awesome news to handle, must let it all out! Snowboarding season is creeping up on us quickly, check out how you can celebrate it after the jump!

Video of the day..

Alright so you'd probably be better off to just peep these videos straight from twsnow.com since that's where I'll probably hijack them from the most, but this one is important for a couple reasons... Check it out and find out why after the jump...

Ooops...

I forgot about this for a little while it seems.. A lot of things have been on the go lately, but as winter approaches (yes, I said it), some of my projects are slowing down and I'm spending more time around the house with time to do things like update my blog.

In order to keep things brief, I'll give you a quick rundown on what's been happening in my life in the past couple of months and then get right into the thick of what's to come.

With that being said, look out for a lot more updates to come as I pass the time in the office while it's still slow before our booking season really starts to ramp up. Once the season is up and going, expect to see a lot of weekend updates with snowboarding pictures, video, stories, and of course some good old fashioned debauchery that can only be associated with a ski trip.

For now, feast your eyes on this glorious piece of snowboarding video:

Mountain Music Jam

Last weekend Backside Tours held their first annual Mountain Music Jam with special guests; Wool on Wolves, at Kicking Horse Mountain resort in Golden, BC. I hadn't been able to make it on the trip, but my lovely Teri had gone down with a few friends, and when a shift at work surprisingly got covered at work at the last minute, I decided to make the six hour drive from Edmonton to Golden to surprise her.

Full story and photos after the Jump.

New Years Eve in Penticton

I've heard that the way you spend New Year's Eve is the way that you'll spend the coming year. If that's the case, I can look forward to a great year with good friends, good music, beautiful scenery and snowboarding.

Full story and photos after the jump!

Marmot Basin: Dec 22-23

Alright, so the clips are in, a few photos are edited, and it's been time for bed for a few hours now. Happy Christmas to everyone checking out the blog from around the country (and the world, for you Life in Reverse cat's down in Nicaragua - still so jealous of you by the way) and I hope you enjoy the eye candy after the jump!

Marmot Basin

So after working from 5 p.m. till 3 a.m. on Tuesday evening; Myself, Ginger, Courtney and Suzy piled into Courtney's car and headed out on a four hour drive to Jasper. We arrived just in time to be some of the first people on the lifts (not to mention getting to see the sun come up in the Rocky Mountains). I decided it was a perfect time to test out my new GoPro Hero Helmet Cam, not to mention a great time to get tipsy and test the water-proof-ness of the camera in the hot tub.

Check out photos after the jump, and a quick video preview of an edit from the trip to come.
