  • Bryan Bowler

    PARK WIZARD. There's a 100% chance that if you've spent any time in a snowboard park anywhere on Earth over the last 15–20 years, you've seen or ridden with Bryan, doing combos that make absolutely no sense to anyone, wearing the loudest kit of all time, and unapologetically being Bryan 24/ 7. One of the most beloved boarders out there, with a heart of GOLD.

    Thanks for coming on, Bryan!

  • Pascal Gallant

    Pascal Gallant is a true legend behind the lens.

    Starting out snowboarding, skateboarding and biking in the mid '80s, Pascal was filming some of the best snowboarders in the world by the mid 90s. His career has crossed paths with some of snowboarding's most influential film crews, including Mack Dawg Productions, Absinthe Films and many more.

    Alongside his brother, the late, great Martin Gallant, Pascal also started The Gathering Collective, creating a platform for the underdogs of snowboarding and giving riders an opportunity to be seen.

    Decades later, Pascal is still behind the camera, still filming the best in the world and still contributing to snowboarding in a way that's impossible to measure.

    We sat down to talk about his early days, a lifetime behind the lens, The Gathering, Mackdawg, his brother Martin and the stories from a career spent documenting snowboarding history.

    Enjoy!

  • Mason "JAR" Lemery

    Mason "Jar" Lemery is one of the most exciting riders to come up in snowboarding right now. A Vermont kid who made the move out west, Mason blew up in 2024 with a breakout season that earned him Slush Magazine's Rookie of the Year, capped off by his part in Brown Cinema's Knights of the Brown Table. Homie has zero hesitation, he's a beast. Nephew of the legendary Jake Blauvelt, Mason's spent time in the mountains with some of the best to ever do it, from John Jackson to Ben Ferguson and more. These opportunities present themselves to Mason because he's a SOLID guy and someone who truly loves the adventure of life. Whether he's sending it in the backcountry or lapping the park, he rides with an energy you can't fake. Big fan. Enjoy!

  • Dr. Dom Vallee

    Olympian. Professional snowboarder. Doctor of Chinese medicine.

    This week on Air Time, we sit down with Dom Vallée, whose journey has taken her from World Cup snowboard cross tracks and the Olympic Games to opening her own health and wellness clinic in Whistler.

    After losing her mother to cancer, Dom found a new purpose in helping others live healthier lives. Through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, she's built a practice focused on keeping people moving, recovering, and doing what they love for as long as possible.

    We talk about her years as a professional snowboarder, competing on the world's biggest stage, navigating life after sport, overcoming personal challenges, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

    Whether you're into snowboarding, health and wellness, injury recovery, performance, or simply hearing stories of people who have reinvented themselves, there's a lot to take away from this one.

    Thanks for coming on the show, Dom. 🙏

  • Brock Nielsen

    Brock is one of snowboarding's hidden gems, posted up behind the lens. Quiet, observant and constantly digesting the world through a camera, you can feel that raw authenticity in everything he creates.

    From getting thrown into the mix with legends like Nate Bozung and Matty Ryan during the iconic BOZWRECK era, Brock helped document a true cult classic chapter of snowboard filmmaking. He captured and brought to life a side of snowboarding that was often overlooked by the mainstream. Names like Bradshaw, Bennee, Deadlung and Keegan are just a few of the legends he filmed during the prime of their careers.

    Over the years, Brock has continued to build a style that feels timeless, he has the ability to make moments feel real, not staged or forced. The last Brown Cinema film - Knights Of The Brown Table says it all. From Absinthe Films, Adidas, Torment Magazine, The North Face, SIMS and beyond riders, brands and snowboarding as a hole are grateful to have him in the mix.

    So what's next for Brock? Tune in. Thanks for coming on the show!

  • Jamie Lynn ft. Brin Alexander

    We sit down with one of the greatest snowboarders of all time, Jamie Lynn. It's hard to put into words what snowboarding would've become without the passion, creativity, style, and raw skateboard influence Jamie brought to the culture. From exploding onto the scene in the early '90s to staying relevant for over 35+ years, Jamie has had one of the most impactful careers in snowboard history. A true snowboarder's snowboarder.

    This conversation was recorded during the 2026 Natural Selection Tour and after wrapping up the podcast, one of my close friends Brin Alexander happened to walk by the room. I figured we had to capitalize on the moment and get Brin on the mic too.

    Brin is one of the most promising young snowboarders coming out of Canada right now and honestly one of the most talented riders on the planet. The definition of an all-terrain snowboarder; park, powder, street, side hits the guy can ride absolutely everything.

    Jamie and I dive into topics like fatherhood, the early days of snowboarding, the evolution of snowboard culture, and how brands have failed the industry in the past. We also talk about how companies can move forward in a way that actually represents snowboarding and builds something lasting. Brin and I catch up on filming, Natural Selection and what's next for the new generation of snowboarding.

    Really grateful to have both of these legends on the podcast. Jamie is undeniably one of the most influential riders of all time and Brin is well on his way.

  • Elena Hight

    One of the most respected ATV's do it, from X-Games metals to the Olympics and now continues to show up at the Natural Selection year after year. She's truly done it all, across every lane of snowboarding and continues to evolve and grow. She's become one of the greats in big mountain riding and honestly, one of the best we've seen since Victoria.

    We get into everything, the highs and lows of her contest career, navigating loss, what the mountains give back to her and how her relationship with snowboarding has changed over time, her heroes, her new pup and everything in between.

    From halfpipe pressure to big mountain freedom, this one really shows who she is. A conversation with someone who's lived every side of snowboarding.

    Tune in. Honoured. 🙏

  • Natural Selections - Travis Rice, Mark McMorris, Blake Moller, Billy Pelchat, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, Yuki Kadono, Circe Wallace, Liam Griffin

    We sat down with some of the legends at Natural Selection Tour 2026, plus a few of the people behind the scenes who keep the whole thing moving. Featuring - Travis Rice, Mark McMorris, Blake Moller, Billy Pelchat, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, Yuki Kadono, Circe Wallace and Liam Griffin. Hosted by Jody Wachniak and Darrah Reid Mclean

    A heavy mix of legends and next up riders. These conversations went down in Revelstoke, right in between qualifiers and finals… so yeah, it's a bit raw and there's some background noise. I debated not using it but the conversations were too good to leave on the table.

    Appreciate you tuning in, this one's got some real gems in it. Enjoy.
