⚠️ Powder Hounds / Backcountry Riders as many of you know this year's snowpack is really challenging, to say the least.

I reached out to a friend, avalanche expert, and legendary guide; John Buffery to talk about the issues many regions are facing. Please tune in if you are interested in adventuring into the backcountry. Thanks again for joining me on the show!

Elias Elhardt from Germany is one hell of a snowboarder and now one hell of a filmmaker. Starting out like many, he rode in Big Air and Slopestyle events in his early years. He would slowly transition those skills to the powder filled mountains. Since that transition in the mid-2000s, he's done what most could only dream of, travel the world and ride endless powder. He was hand selected by the goat himself aka Travis Rice to film in Alaska for 3 weeks and film for Dark Matter which was one of the most progressive backcountry films of all time. A phone call from Travis to film in AK only happens if you are one of the best in the world and Elias is just that, he's one of the best. Tune in to hear some amazing stories from the humble German ripper. Thanks for coming on the show, enjoy!

Heikki Sorsa is an iconic Finnish pro snowboarder. Destroyer of all. He competed in the 2002 Olympics in the halfpipe wearing a mohawk! He also held a world record for the highest air on a quarter pipe for six years, 9.5 metres at the Arctic Challenge. He taught Paris Hilton how to snowboard, some would say he's lived the dream and I would agree. Thanks for coming on the show boss! Enjoy.

The Norwegian boss Andreas Wiig was one of the biggest pros in the early to mid 2000's. In my opinion, he's one of the most progressive jumpers in snowboard history. Andreas is a BEAST.

In this episode, I dive into the mind of the hardest-working human I've ever met; Anto Chamberland from Quebec, Canada. Anto is a GRAND MASTER at transforming his vision into a reality in all aspects of his life. Whether it be snowboarding, fire fighting, real estate, fatherhood, etc. he is always willing to go the extra mile. Anto's ability to step out of his comfort zone day in and day out is so inspiring and something we could all take some notes on. What motivates him? What's his process? Tune in and find out.
