We had a great pow day yesterday. Thankfully we arrived super early as the crowds by noon were unbearable. First couple runs offered 1-2 foot deep dry cold slightly wind packed snow powder.
After those couple runs we had to start getting typically “Jay peak inventive” with our run selections but we’re almost experts so [...]

Outside MTL diner
Just back from the final SXSW 08 events…
Hung out with some great Canadians for diner, met some really amazing and funny peers, had a couple too many Mohito’s and overall ended our 5 days on a really high note.
Tomorrow we fly back to the land of ice and snow (with few hot springs).

Resin soaked rails & Johan working the nose
Went by Johan’s shop last night to watch him put on the final lam of glass on my new board (still a hot coat to do) and the top logo.
Beautiful process and Johan’s gotten so good at working quickly on such a huge surface. I think this might [...]

Montreal Bagel

“According to native Montrealers their bagels are the best in the world! In fact, many a former Montrealer when returning on a visit to the city will invariably visit St-Viateur Bagel located at 263 St. Viateur in order to stock up on bagels.” — Boots n All
