So, I am currently in Ontario visiting my family during the shoulder season, and while going through the storage at my mom's house looking for boxes of my stuff long forgotten I came across my Freeze Magazine collection. I seam to have every issue from November 98 to October 03 (some in better...
So, my ski hill closed way back on April 3rd in absolutely amazing conditions. The past month has been an "endless winter" sort of month in the West Kootenay's, as well as everywhere else in the province it seams. This spring I have experienced some of the best post season touring ever, with...
Hey there. So, as I mentioned last time, my friend lost my GoPro on a kite skiing adventure down in Idaho. Due to.... shit... I still am sans GoPro. So, you guys are just going to have to take my word for it: Spring skiing has been SICK this year. March was pretty sweet, and April...
As I mentioned earlier I helped put a yurt together earlier this year. I filmed some, but the footage just isn't interesting. Instead of showing boring footage for the sake of footage I figure I'll just throw some pictures up. The yurt is about a 40min skin from the ski hill boundary...
Hey everybody,
The last time I updated was after January 12th, the ONLY real inbounds pow day we have had here at Red Mountain. La Nina has hit everywhere in BC but here. None the less, I have walked around and found snow where snow may be and have actually had some pretty fun turns in the...
So, over the past week we have had quite a roller coaster ride here at Red Mountain. After taking three days off of skiing due to a tweaked back, I was itching to get back out on the skis. What better way to find out if my back is all good than an inbounds powder day.
Wednesday morning we...
Hello again. I've been meaning to get this up earlier, and in better quality, but alas - I suck at this shit, so be grateful it's up at all. No, that sounded mean, I'm sorry.
So, This edit is shot from Dec 28th to Jan 2nd, in which time Red Mountain, BC experienced it's busiest week in a...
So, every year I try to keep a journal of my skiing, but most years I get lazy or forgetful and the journal usually falls apart by New Years. Last year was the first time I actually got the whole season written down, but before I could do anything with it - I lost the journal. Opps! So...

Ok, before I get any hate about this I will say that yes, I do consider "Climate Change" and "Global Warming" very real, and very important to our generation. If there is someone on this website who hasn't put serious thought into what could happen in the next 20 to 50 years based on the...
Alright, so humans love routine. Well, maybe routine is part of human nature, just as a wild animal spends his days doing the same thing forever, but we as humans have the ability to change our actions based on our thoughts.
So when looking into what routine is and what it means you find that...
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is one of the oldest plants cultivated and harvested in human history. Evidence of the Chinese harvesting the plant go back 8500 years, some think we have been using the plant for 12000 years. By 1600 the plant made its way to North America making it truly global...

Fight to keep B.C.'s water public.
alright, so this entry is going back to the same theme as my original blog entries. that is: climate change, consumption, and all that jazz.
Before I get into all the shit that i'm going to be shitting about, I'll first give you an update on my time since my last blog entry (or in other...
Hello everybody. So it's getting to that time of year where the lifts are shutting down and everyone is trying to squeeze in all the last minute skiing they can before the summer shows it's warm face and all the snow goes down river. Here in Rossland, the lifts shut down for the week, and...
ok, so I am a volunteer park tech at Red Mountain Resort, BC. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Red Mountain, Rossland, and mostly everything about the West Kootaney's, but I feel as though there is a serious lack in caring when it comes to ski resort operations. I have seen that lack of caring...
i want to add a new blog entry, but i'm not sure if i'm in the mood to
do all that writing... so instead i'll just be lazy and see what
happens.
alright, well with less than ideal weather the past
couple weeks our season has been off to a shitty start. i've managed
to get 7 days under...
