The weather has been nothing short of amazing, however all this great weather does have a downfall. Right now in B.C. there are over 119 wild fires burning in the province. Pilar is one of those people on the front line, or you could say hanging by a line. She works for Rapattack, which is a small crew that uses helicopters to rappel into remote areas to attack the fires that have been started by lightning. They are usually first on the scene and either contain the fire immediately or prep the area so the helicopters can bring in extra crews and equipment. I haven't seen Pilar in a while because she has been out saving the forest, but I know come winter time I am sure I will run into her on a chair somewhere.

Thanks Pilar

Daniel Stubbs is one of the new up and coming riders coming out of the W.V.S.C. and is no stranger to sending it. After going down pretty hard the first thing he said to me after walking back up was that he couldn't believe with the amount of abuse he has inflicted on his board that he hasn't snapped it yet this season, I guess that why they won the good wood award.

Had a portrait session with Jordan the other day, his views on a healthy lifestyle are quite interesting.

The Snowboard Canada Buyers Guide has been out for a while, if you haven't seen it you should grab one before they are all gone. It has all the new gear some great photos and a interesting article on Dave Barnes and his latest work.
