I went on the 32 Canada Team trip in February in to the interior of BC. In 12 days we went to 4 different places and had a blast at each of them.
First we went to Rossland, BC, and rode Red Mountain for 2 days.  Pretty awesome snow and great terrain, but no sun...  Its ok, we still found stuff to shoot.

Jess Kimura, there were lots of methods on this trip, Red Mountain

Ben Bilocq, fun in the trees, Red Mountain.

Burns got upside down in the Red Mountain Park.

After a couple days at Red Mountain we headed up to Nelson to ride Whitewater.  That place is awesome...

Jeff Keenan and Sean Genovese found some fun times at Whitewater!

Our crew with Shandy and Penner, Roger and Keita.

Two days in New Denver and we were off to Revelstoke.  We ended up just jibbing around town, and with Ben's imagination, he managed to find rhythm sections and boosted everywhere.

The trip was a success, we went to some of the best places in BC to ride, and we barely used snowmobiles!

Andrew and I went up snowmobiling today, we were by ourselves because Rusty Ockenden and Mikey Pedersen are afraid of the sky when its not filled with blue birds. Anyways, we didnt need them cause we killed it, they would have just gotten in the way. Halfway up the trail, Andrews pull cord broke, so he had to start his sled with a little rope wrapped around the clutch.  Good times.

When we got up the the alpine, Andrew shut off his sled so we could discuss our plan of attack.  Once we figured out what we wanted to do, he tried to start his sled, but alas, it would not run.  We tried everything.  Full gas, no gas, full choke, no choke, gas in the cylinders, gas in the airbox, cleaning the spark plugs, etc., and every combination of the above.  Finally we found out that the sled was getting no spark, so we decided to cook some hot dogs and try to shoot something.

This is Andrew having the opposite of FUN!

Hmmm, hot dogs.

Jumps!

Towing...

 My sled kept overheating from towing Burns' sled on near ice conditions in the lower elevations.

3 hours later we make it back to the trucks, all in all it was worth it cause we got a few nice photos.  Sometimes you have to go up on the shitty days to remind yourself of just how shitty it can be...  I love it...

Panorama Resort, BC -- The snow at home is questionable at the moment, so in between trips we decided to do a little resort riding for the SBC Resort Guide next year.  I sweet talked Jody Wachniak, Mark Sollors and Andrew Skelhorn into performing stunts for the camera, and off we went. Its a solid 10-hour drive from Whistler to Panorama, so here's Jody taking care of Roger.

Our first day was cloudy so we explored some bike trails on the lower mountain.  Andrew Skelhorn truckdriver over the bridge.

All resorts seem to have some kind of building for kids with slides and such.  Finally Mark Sollors figured out how to snowboard on one.

The next day was mostly sunny so we went up to the summit and explored the huge terrain and enjoyed some, ahem, Panoramic views.

It was really cold and the crystals of snow were hanging in the air and it looked like the alien movie, Fire in the Sky. 

There are a couple of warming huts on the mountain, shaped like teepees!

The park is really fun here.

Ahhh, relaxing after some difficult riding.

I drove out to Calgary last week to shoot the Monster/Billabong Ante Up contest at COP, and decided to stick around for a few days and shoot handrails with Matt Belzile, Jed Anderson, Alex Andrews, and Sean Black.  Mark sollors was supposed to stay too but he's kind of a pussy and went home instead.  (He actually really hurt his back...)  Anyways, the day after the Ante Up contest was pretty much a write off because the after party was at Cowboys, and that place is insane.  The place really lives up to its name, lots of line dancing cowboys... 

So we took the day off and went sight seeing around Calgary, went up the tower and stood on the glass floor, it was pretty freaky especially being really hungover.

We spent a day in Calgary a hit a coulpe of obstacles. Matt Belzile Back Lip. 

 Then we hightailed it to Edmonton, mostly because Belzile's girlfriend lives there.  Jed Anderson Back 50-50. 

 That's Jed and my dog Roger, post double spine surgery. 

This is Hayden filming Belzile on a really long balance beam with a few kinks.

We had some spectators across the street for this one.

Jed's mom drove all the way from Calgary to pick him up in Edmonton.  Pretty much everyone else was hurt, so we called it and are driving back to Whistler tomorrow.  I sure hope it snows soon...
