A series of clips filmed in Whistler while I was home for the Holidays. Riding with homies, playtime with doggies, Dumbo Party at Sushi. There is indeed no place like home!

Ocean stories. 〰︎ Ce qu’il y a de bien quand on touche le fond, c’est qu’on ne peut pas tomber plus bas. ISO: New bike. Mine got a bit rusty. Happy snow ponies. We live in one of the most majestic and natural corners of the entire globe. From its highest peaks to its deepest depths, British Columbia is home not only to some of our country’s most powerful animals, but to our nation’s most powerful people.⁠ The mighty Black Tusk — stealing memory space on my SD cards since 2003. And the moon rose into the sky, the crows cawing more loudly and incessantly than ever — signaling the end of winter. Hoping that one day I’ll be able to do a cool pow slash and get one of those cool photos all those cool kids have. Meanwhile here are some deep fresh turns which were pretty cool, too. Sweet dreams are made of this.💕 ❝ I am constantly surrounded by noise: TV, texts, the internet, music, meaningless small talk, my thinking. All of it blocks my consciousness, my ability to hear the ME that exists beneath the cacophony. I am my consciousness, my awareness of my circumstance, my presence in every moment. So I cultivate silence every morning. I sit in it, bask in it, wrap it around myself, and hear and feel me. Then, wherever the day takes me, the people I meet are the beneficiaries of my having taken that time - they get the real me, not someone shaped and altered by the noise around me. Silence is the stuff of life.❞ Sliding on snowshine ⛄️ Story time: “Black Tusk’s original name is T'ákt'akmúten tl'a In'inyáxa7n (Landing Place of the Thunderbird) and refers to the massive supernatural bird whose enormous talons crushed this peak into its current shape. For the Squamish People, in the long ago Sk'ewk (Raven) was furiously angry with Wexés (Frog). Sk'ewk picked up Wexés and carried him high into the sky. Wexés protested, demanding to be returned to the ground. Sk'ewk granted this wish by dropping him from the skies. As Wexés flailed, he grasped at the clouds tearing a large hole causing torrential rains which flooded the land. This disturbed In'inyáxa7n (Thunderbird) who opened his eyes sending lightening across the land, flapped his wings causing havoc and destruction. Wexés landed in the rising floodwaters, nearly hitting Yéw'yews (Killer Whale). Yéw'yews slapped his tail and thrashed about sending tidal waves in all directions decimating most remaining people. This series of events initiated the Great Flood - a universal story to many cultures”.
