The local Winter season came to an abrubt end due to the Coronavirus, so I thought I look back at the great season I had. After I started snowboarding at Cypress about 5 years ago I got better for about 2 or 3 years but then hit a point where I was not progressing much anymore. I was just doing blue...

On a beatiful and sunny day in October we decided to explore Garibaldi Lake. JJ has been there before, but for me it was the first time and I got blown away by the stunning nature the park offers. But see for yourself...

I decided to split up our Burningman post into daytime and nighttime for a good reason. It's incredible how the whole atmosphere changes once it gets dark. Colorful lights are getting turned on everywhere, you can start hearing music from each corner. There is a certain excitement in the air where e...
