Tanner Rainville gettin’ some on our last day in Japan.

T Rains, AD, and Hornbeck lining up some REALLY fun zones in the middle of Japans best winter in 100 years.

After 14 straight days of sun and high pressure a storm just rolled in to Portes du Soleil bringing some much needed pow- not a ton, but enough for now. More details coming soon.

Last day at Stevens Pass- Hornbeck stumbled upon this field of overgrown marshmallows. We’re calling this zone the “Bird Massacre Pillows” after finding the gruesome remains of dead birds strewn all over the place- weird, yeah, looks like some crows decided to pick on some little birds and things got outta hand. Weird. True.

Escalator is currently out of order – Please use stairs! Josh Bibby somewhere in Steep and Deep, BC!

Stolen straight from Wiley’s blog at YLEski.com- check it out for all the latest and greatest updates from Wiley as he spends the next 5 months traveling the world loggin’ shots for his next Level 1 seg!

With snow lingering (sic) in the lower fourty-8, we packed up our trucks and headed north. Myself, P white, and Freedle Coty hop skipped over the border to meet up with Josh Bibby and Bryn Hughes. With fresh party grease still on our shoes from the year ending activities, and after some questioning we were let into the land of the great white north, Canada, and more specifically the Kootenay range of the interior BC.

The Dock, just down the street from our shack…

This line is called “the spine of god” proudly proclaimed by our guide as one of the more premier lines in the area. Here Freedle captures the action as P white takes “her” for a ride.

It happens our good friends from Oakley were in town. Dan Treadway, Greg Strokes, and Blake Jorgenson, join us for some apre…

This zone was insanely good to us… (ed note- yes, we were here last year, but can you really have too much of a good thing!??)

enough said… shopping in Nelson w/ Parker.

We have now arrived in Revelstoke and plan on getting after some more goods here in BC… winter carries on in Canada and I don’t plan on leaving any time soon. Anyone know how to get a Canadian citizenship?

Check back- more updates coming soon!

While most of the US and Canada is suffering a pretty miserable winter right now, there are a few pockets that seem to have avoided the worst of the warm/dry trends. Josh Bibby found one here- rebating the Stoneyland zone we hit up last year. Jealous yet? I am, sitting here in the office in Denver- thats for sure!

Parker White, Wiley Miller, and Josh Bibby met up with Dan Treadway in the BC backcountry, taking a break from sending pillow lines to hang by this campfire and dry off for a few minutes. Not a bad spot, eh?

Looks like Europe is getting us back for stealing all their pow last year! Tanner Rainville has found the goods… overhead deep in Grindewald Switzerland!
