Whistler got hit hard the last couple of days with an epic storm that brought us over 70 cm of snow followed by bluebird conditions for 2 days!!! Myself and fellow Voleurz shred Shayne Zwickle headed up for first tracks on saturday for some pow turns. We pushed it, riding from 7:30 am – Close. Shayne managed to break his wrist riding irresponsibly early in the day but it didn’t stop him from sending non-stop front/backflips all afternoon. Here’s a couple snapshots I managed to grab, It’s hard to stop and take time for photos in 70cm of FRESH!!!

Myself and Voleurz main man/filmer Darren Rayner are heading down to Colorado next week for some trades how action (SIA) as well as some filming at Breck, Keystone and Aspen. See ya there???

This Weekend I will be snowboarding in Vancouver’s “Winter Squared” event in downtown Vancouver. Come out to GE Plaza at Robson Square (by the art gallery) to check out live music, winter fashion shows and a Snowboard rail competition. If you can’t physically make it out to the event but still want to check it out I will be making a live TV appearance at 4:30 pm PST on City TV.

Finally after 6 weeks off riding with a torn miniscus, hitting the gym, icing my knee and watching non-stop episodes of Californication I’m back on the snow! Super pumped to shred some pow on Blackcomb today, CBC trees and 7th heaven were nothing short of epic (as usual). Hopefully I’ll be back in top condition and able to start shooting with Voleurz again in the next couple weeks.

On another note, I am now riding for Bataleon Snowboards. Check them out here

See you on the hill!

Just put together a compilation of footage from the last 3 years of riding (2007-2009) Thanks to Darren Rayner @ Voleurz for the help with the vid and SonReal for the track. Make sure you follow him on twitter HERE!

Outdoor Graduation from Voleurz on Vimeo.

This November Whistler has seen over 500cm/16ft of snow, shattering the month’s all time record snowfall only two-thirds of the way through!!! Needless to say, conditions are good and the stoke is high. Perfect for a Ski/Snowboard video premier and the finale of the Voleurz west coast party tour!!! Thanks a lot to everyone who came out Saturday and to Coors Light and the Longhorn Saloon for helping us throw such a fun party.

Here’s a couple pics from the West Coast tour.

I’m looking forward to getting back to snowboarding ASAFP after stretching my ACL and tearing the miniscus in my right knee last week sending it a bit too hard in all the fresh snow.  Have fun out there, I’ll see you on the hill soon!

I just got back from 2 weeks on the road with the Voleurz family doing premiers for “Outdoor Graduation” and returned to Whistler to find that we had just broken the record “Movember” snowfall with 418cm’s since I had left!!!! Needless to say my first 2 days of riding this season were beyond epic. I linked up with photographer Andrew Strain on day #1 and we shot this photo. Thanks go out to Whistler Blackcomb for getting us sorted with passes on such short notice!

On another note I think I performed THE smallest Frontflip of all time today for Voleurz’s Darren Rayner and his iphone…

You have probably already seen me rocking a mustache this “Movember” but I just recently took it to the next level and got a “permanent mustache prosthetic” implanted on my left index finger. Please support the cause by making a small pay pal or credit card donation here to “The Mustachianados” in support of prostate cancer research. Thanks!

Wow… My head still pounds! If you didn’t make it out in Vancouver make sure you come party with the crew at one of our other events. Victoria is on Wednesday (the 28th) at Lucky Bar and it looks to be a good one! To quote Jeff Schmuck “Voleurz premiers are actually informative seminars on how to party”

See ya there!
