One of my favorite things to do in the summer, is get out by myself in the mountains on my dirtbike, and just explore. Yesterday I did just that, and managed to find some cool stuff:
Old Cabin I Found Sweet Camp Spot
Athan and Nic worked supper hard on this video, as they only had 7 days to shoot and edit it for the TELUS SKI & SNOWBOARD FESTIVAL. My snowboard friend Jake Bauer, my bro Daryl, filmer Athan Merick and I did a 3 day trip to Backcountry Snowcats, and sled-skied around their lodge to film most of the bigmountain portion of the film. I'm the skier in the PINK PANTS. Nice editing boys!
Tessa and I just went on a great flight with a friend of ours, to check out some lines I want to ski next year on a PEAK PERFORMANCE trip.
Some times dreams come true. For me, this is my favorite place to be in the world...comfortable in an un-comfortable environment. Like dancing down a 55+ degree spine from a peak that drops 6700 feet straight to the valley. 3 Days Out in the middle of no-where with 3 of my good friends/sensei's, Jon Johnson, Dave Basterrechea, and my bro Daryl. Wow! Still feels like a DREAM!LoadedThe goal the
Dendrite studios filmer Athan Merick, my bro Daryl, Jake Bauer and I headed out into the mountains for 3 days to film for a short video contest we are doing at the Whistler Telus Festival called Intersection. We could win $15 000! 2 days of grey. One day of great sun!
Cliff Day went OFF! The whole crew was throwing down
Great Day of ski-mountaineering in the sun

Jordan Manley, my brother Daryl and I made our annual pilgrimage to Monashee Powder Snowcats for some grade A skiing and shooting. This is the 3rd time we've gone to Monashee to shoot. The reason we keep coming back is simple: Consistent blower snow, tons of cliffs and features, a great lodge at elevation and a staff who live to ski, all make for guarantied banger shots!

I was down in Vancouver this morning for an interview with City TV teaching the show host how to ski. To bad I never took a ski lesson in my life. Tessa told me after it's french fries, not spaghetti.
