Best of 2011: 6th Annual GT Memorial Noboard Race

Posted On Fri, Dec 23 2011 10:45 PM

In Canada, there's no event that showcases the importance of personal friendships, and the impact one individual can make on many people, like the annual GT Memorial. Spencer Francey covered the 2011 edition for Push.ca, which celebrates the life and legacy of Canadian snowboarder (and NoBoarder, of course) Greg "GT"... (more)

Billabong Ante Up 2011: Eric Willett Claims Canada Day

Posted On Sat, Jul 02 2011 12:10 AM

Standing on top of Whistler Mountain today, something seemed terribly wrong. For one, there was so much snow it looked like January, not July. For another, there was an 85-foot big air jump built just a two-minute stroll from the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. But what seemed wrong, at least from the perspective of how traditional seasons... (more)

Attending the 2010 Vancouver Olympics with a legit media pass hanging by a lanyard around my neck was - pardon the blatant cliche - a dream come true.

Rencz, Ritchie and Rasman: A Pre-Season Ski Show Interview

Posted On Thu, Oct 21 2010 4:55 PM

For riders living in the east, getting to meet pro snowboarders is a big deal. Think about it: if you live in Whistler, odds are good you'll bump into a pro often enough, whether it's in the chairlift line or the liquor store line. But in Ontario? Unless you're at a secret rail spot at 3 AM while a film crew's... (more)
