I love da Powder Snow

Well well - the snow is here.  Some people complain about it and some love it.  I am in the later category.  I just spent a weekend filming and taking photos at Island Lake Catskiing with the Sherpas.  The Sherpas are making a ski movie and were filming with a special slow motion camera that shoots a 1000 frames a second.  The footage will be surreal for sure.  Island Lake had received a whole bunch of powder snow in the last couple weeks and conditions were really good for early season. Check out these photos:







Island Lake Catskiing is located just outside of Fernie B.C.

Ken Diamond Leather Goods in Vancouver

I recently visited my old friend Ken Diamond in Vancouver.  Ken and I grew up together in the Winnipeg music scene...going to shows, hanging out at the legendary Royal Albert draft night and generally just rockin out.  Ken has a crazy grizzly adams beard now and I barely recognized him.  Anyway, he is an amazing leather worker and custom makes all kinds of cool stuff.  I got a new wallet and belt!  Check out the Ken Diamond website http://www.kendiamond.com/
