Whistler, BC (November 30, 2009) – Sometimes it’s better to earn your turns.

With Whistler-Blackcomb reporting record snowfall for the month of November—already 217 inches, which is half of their yearly average—I made for the great white north this thanksgiving weekend in anticipation of Blackcomb’s opener on Thursday, followed by the Whistler alpine on Saturday.

Within the last two weeks, the Cascades received more than 8 feet of snow, creating a snowpack that more resembled mid-winter than pre-December conditions. With the Crystal Mountain opening, on November 11, I really felt like the new season had officially been ushered in. I'm getting really amped up for the upcoming season, one during which I hope to really push the limits of what has and can be done with a snowboard.

Bozeman, MT -- Our friends out in Bozeman put together a movie this past season called "Make Believe". The "Wintertime" series incudes three short films from the same crew, largely shot in hammering snow in the backcountry. We will be running two more edits over the next week, so if you like what you see from the Montana scene, check back for more in the coming days.

It was mid-May and I was tits-deep in touring season. After tackling Mt. Shasta with some good company, Amar and I set our sights on other Nor-Cal and Oregon volcanoes to scoop up and slide upon.

Port Angeles, WA (November 17, 2009) -- Not only is it the premier of Home School 9 this saturday in Port Angeles, but it is also Mervin manufacturer and filmmaker Stan Tech's 40th birthday party, among other things--like a Scott Sullivan slide show.
