New State of the Art Production Facility



Just finished up some new benches and shelves for the factory. A whopping 8' x 12' foot print. Some might call it a garden shed, it's better than nothing. Cutting edge Canadian manufacturing.

Last taste of the goods

April seemed to do a better job of coming through with some good snow than the last couple months did. My best runs of the season. Not bad for early april. At this point it sure looks like powder season is done. nice to go out with a bang. I have nothing but good things to say about the gopro hd after the first couple days testing. Versatile and handy little unit.

Easter powder

The prime winter months haven't been too kind this season so it's nice to see April coming through. Finishing out on a high note is the next best thing I suppose.

Baker Splitfest 2010

Big thanks goes out to Terry for making this happen. Couldn't have asked for a better crew to take part. It was a real pleasure to meet all of you. Definetly keen to do it again next year.

Cats from Glacier know how to chill.

Spark R&D Fuse Binding

Finally got my hands on a set of Spark R&D fuse plates. These suckers have been in hot demand this year. For good reason I'd say. Lighter, stronger, lower, and faster. Definately makes the ride feel a lot closer to a conventional shred setup. Touring is a better pivot with zero slop. I reckon I'll be using them for the uphill more than the down, but the uphill performance and greater ease in transitions makes them worth getting alone. The hype is real on the downhill ride as well, solid as a rock.

Sorry no binding riding shots as I've been shredding solo mostly lately.

New Diy Deck

Fresh diy split that was a rome notch 162. Is around a 156 now. Fun, fast turning, and responsive ride. The tail emblem told me to do it.

Low vert and one hitters

First day out on a fresh stick meant pulling apart fresh skins. It looked tough, thought it might end up a two man job.

Backwoods Condo 2

Managed to wrangle a crew to make a weekend trip to the old condo. 4 seems to be the magic number for the setup. Anything more and navigating the indoors gets tight and gear drying space gets maxed. Anything over 4 means someone takes the "hotspot" overhead bunk and has to sweat it out near the roof. This bedtime locale is reserved for members of less tenure who conveniently weren't around to help when it came to setup time.

Homemade fun

Just finished this diy job up and had a couple fun days on it. Seems to work well. Fast, loose, and light. Never had such an easy go at the kick turns.
