The Blade Dive, Episode 27 - We are joined by Canadian snowboard badass and Snowcat operator extraordinaire AKA “The Little Dipper”…Lucas Ouellette.  Lucas has spent time around the best operators in the industry as well as the best riders and skiers. Traveling the world to build Terrain Parks is a massive personal commitment and is consuming, but Ouellette is a family man who cherishes and prioritizes time with his family. The Ontario native is 100% all about sharing the STOKE! 

• Landing a Terrain Park Manager job at the age of 16 with Lakeridge Ski Resort, Ontario Canada was a pretty good sign and step in the right direction, to where Ouellette wanted to take his career. Eventually moving to Vancouver, Canada, Whistler Blackcomb would become the canvas. 

• Ouellette would later gain the trust of Steve Petrie and join Arena Snowparks. Ouellette has contributed to the company by fabricating features, from rails to boxes and everything in between, building contest venues, photoshoot features etc. Ouellette wants to keep parks evolving and growing as well as the ridership….period. 

Episode 27 is a real deep dive into Lucas Ouellette’s vision of Terrain Parks. We discuss the value in creating parks that are accessible for everyone, what life would look like without Snowboarding, wearing multiple hats of responsibility within a company, how important it is to learn from your mistakes.

Enjoy...  and if you're in the machine, go ahead and TURN THE VOLUME UP!
