Up and Down and All Around. Well well. Onwards with this trip with many more stories and adventures to tell you all. Continuing our play in the Himalayas, our first stop was hippie central in the Kullu Valley. This is a rich and lush valley producing many fruits including apricots, apples, plums and delicious, delicious cherries that happened to be in full season when we arrived. The surrounding area including the town of Manali is hippie central with many travelling hippies mixing with an eclectic assortment of expats from a variety of countries. We decided to make a foray up a [View Full Entry]

The Indian Himalayas are a spectacular network of steep mountains and big valleys that are hemmed in by Pakistan and China on either side. The Indian military runs the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) which maintains a road network along their northern borders, right through the heart of the Himalayas. It is one serious feat of road building to carve these roads out of the colossal scale of these mountains; winding up and down one mountain pass after another. And it makes for one unbelievable array of stunning mountain scenery. Our first major traverse of these roads consisted of the [View Full Entry]

This is the quote that convinced us to start our trip up in the state of Kashmir. It seemed like every single person in New Delhi could only dream of making a trip up to their so called paradise. After a day of +42 C while bombing around a dirty, smelly, polluted, mass of human existence also known as Delhi... this so called paradise to the north sounded pretty good. So off to Kashmir it was by plane, but not before getting the famous "Delhi Belly" (food poisoning) within the first 24 hours of arriving to India. Let’s set the story [View Full Entry]

As the season for snow winds down, I thought I would briefly recap how my last three months have unfolded in the eyes of a powder fiend. Yes I said it, it’s true. Sadly that is what I have become…but after 80 days of riding this year, I just can’t seem to get enough. The addiction only becomes worse. You want it more and are willing to work harder and put more effort into trying to get it. And even after you get it good, you still want more of it, for longer and longer…ahhhhhh. The feeling never ends. I will [View Full Entry]

Ever gone on one of those trips where you look back and go, “Wow, that was seriously one awesome trip!” ? Well this was one of them. We took six days and did a road trip down to Jackson, Wyoming, USA, home of the Jackson Hole Ski Resort and the Teton Mountain Range. We took advantage of an above average year for snowfall and completely fluked out with a big dump followed by 3 perfect days of splitter blue sunshine. After skiing the impressive ski resort for a day (at $80 a pop), we hit the surrounding backcountry. Teton Pass has [View Full Entry]

Hey All, Well January has been busy for me. Once I got out of the Monashees after New Years, I spent a little time over on Vancouver Island before moving out to Revelstoke, home of the new Revelstoke Mountain Resort. My friend Jordan and I decided that this would make an interesting place to set up shop for a couple months this year and be ski bums for the inaugural year of the ski resort destined to become the ‘next Whistler’. With almost 1 billion dollars in investment planned over the next 15 years, this sleeply little town of 8500 people [View Full Entry]

Monashee New Year 08 Happy New Years Everyone, Every wonder what kind of unique experience you can bring the new year in with? Well I think I found one that will be pretty hard to beat in my books. Assemble 14 friends that all share a common interest in the deep fluffy white stuff. Find a cool little winter cabin at 6500’ in the Monashee Mountain Range, interior BC that can accommodate us all. Add copious amounts of that sweet dry champagne powder that the interior is famous for, and what you get is one unforgettable week. We rented a backcountry [View Full Entry]

They hold an annual off-road race down the entire peninsula of the Baja of Mexico. I always wondered why it was here and not somewhere else. Now I know. The 1000 miles that the Baja stretches is some seriously scrubby, desolate desert bordered on all sides by some beautiful water. The whole idea of this trip started back in Costa Rica a year ago where I met Dave. He had just finished telling Nastassia and I that we should definitely come stay at his place in California and do a road trip down the Baja with him sometime. “The Baja’s my [View Full Entry]

Hey Y’all, After spending a couple quality weeks trying to catch up with everyone on the West Coast, it was time to get to the sun and surf. With a good friend of mine talking of 10 ft swell, offshore winds and sunny days, it was really a no-brainer to jump on a plane and head to Southern California, Newport Beach to be exact. Located in Orange County just south of LA, my friend Dave Kasa has an awesome place across the street from the beach and an ocean view to boot. Affectionately known as ‘Club 5000’ due to the large [View Full Entry]

Hi everybody, Well its been awhile since my last entry but I am finally done work for the season and can now put my hard earned cash to work for me. Working 12 hour nightshifts at -10C was just not cutting it for me, so when my last job finished up, I knew it was time to wrap it up for the season and get out of there. But where to head? South somewhere, anywhere, as long as it was away from the snow and the cold. So after a wonderful week with my parents at the Cabinhouse at Marsh Lake, [View Full Entry]
