Quik Tour - Big White

I headed out west last week for a tour around BC with Quiksilver and SBC. We were supposed to go to 5 or 6 different resorts, but we soon changed our plan and decided to stick to the best spots we could.


A quick stop in Merrit, BC. A very small town with a sweet skatepark

Stopped in Kelowna on our way up to Big White to visit some shops. Island Snow

Deviate Boardshop. Super cool place with cool staff

Half a mini ramp they had in the shop. The other half lowers down from the ceiling on hydraulics, no joke

Rasman, Leo, and Tifo hanging in the sunglass alley

Iphones and computers on the road

We quickly learned our bags added a little too much on top of the van to get into the parking garage

Leo capturing the good times

Heading out for a quick night shred. It was too fun to take photos

Headed to Sante's in the village for some recommended good eats

And beers of course, cheers

The Snow Ghost Burger. Thats a cheeseburger with grilled cheese as the buns, and a healthy poutine on the side

My zone up top in the loft

The boys checking out our progress from the shred

Belzile and I got lost from the crew first run the next day. We also forgot our room keys, wallets and phones. We had no choice but to ride powder in the trees all day long

Foggy and Windy, stay in the trees

Again, checking out the photos and footage

Another night mission. A mellow pat down into some reserved fresh powder

Chris Rasman was hyped.

We are off to Revelstoke for a few days and then onto Nelson. There is snow and sun in the forecast so it should be a great time...

Kickflip

First ever legit kickflip on film. 10 g's from Volcom to this guy for this trick...

Horseshoe Open

Is coming up fast, I hope everyone will be there. Its next weekend (11th and 12th). Here are some of the boys practising...

Martock

Great friends Luke Doucet and Gabe Thomas were last seen slaying this kink bar at the Martock ski slope.

Still Going

Since the snow around Ontario has depleted so fast, we decided to make a quick trip to La Belle Province, Quebec. Beebe headed a few days earlier then the Jake, Tyler and Max and unfortunately it rained the day before the rest of the boys showed up. They came anyways and the snow seemed to be easy to work with and not very affected by the rain. We hit a bunch of Famous spots and a couple not so famous ones. Check us out here...


Suki Tremblay, look her up on facebook

I get why no locals hit this thing around this time. Its a big dig and alot of work

Tyler landed tricks, Max filmed them

Time to switch roles. Max got a banger...

Chez Ashton, best poutine

OG spot

Scary high bridge. It wobbles when your walking on it

Funnest spot I have ever hit

Looking down from that bridge

People ice climb up the frozen waterfall, scary

This part was not quite frozen

Getting that professional shot

Another spot Jake got frustrated at. It was worth it though

Max and Tyler again. Smiles all the time
