Snowboard Canada Fall 2009

The newest issue of Snowboard Canada just hit the stands with an article that Feet and I worked on last winter where we traveled to some abandoned mining towns in the interior of British Columbia. It was a great time with a great crew, make sure you hit your local shop and grab a copy before they are all gone.

V.D.P. Snowstyle Cover-November Issue

Just received the latest issue of Snowstyle from Japan today, and was stoked to see my shot of Justin on the cover. We shot this last winter during the photo shoot out at Island Lake Lodge. It was a first for both of us snagging this cover but Justin is a strong rider with lots of style so I am sure you will see lots more stuff popping up from him in the future.

V.D.P.

Every year you plan out your season, where you are going, what you are going to do there and with whom. Sometimes things don't work out as planned. Its understandable people change their minds, things come up, one trip looks like more fun then the other, blah blah blah I could go on forever with the excuses I have heard. Justin was the go to guy for me this year. He was involved with every trip, catalogue, and contest I did this winter, and usually stepped in when someone else backed out, with a smile and a great attitude. I could go on about his fourteen hour solo drives to make it to the spot, hiking it one more time because my flash didn't go off, or I just wasn't happy with it. But instead if you want to get to know him better you should check out his new blog, because he has some great stories and even better rants.
