Hi peeps . . . . .a quick update on my upcoming season in North America . . . . .
The wildcard entry I gained from ‘winning’ the ‘Freeride Series of New Zealand’ allows me to enter into the Freeride World Tour stage at Crystal Mountain USA. It will likely be streamed on thenorthfacemasters.com or freerideworldtour.com on the 7th of Feb 2011 so write it down, crack a beer and have a laugh. Will do my best, these guys are the best in the world so I’m not expecting to do well but will have fun smashing pow and learning a thing or two from the pros.
Other news is I will be filming on ‘Powder Highway’ for ex-Teton Gravity Research filmer Vance Shaw, making a documentary ski/snowboard film on the Kootenay mountains area and its culture. It’ll require alot of time cat skiing, snowmobiling, staying in backcountry lodges, touring, helicopters and in general a lot of epic powder freeriding. Tough work. It’s projected to be released late this year. I will post teasers and clips as it happens.
So far the season has been epic in Revelstoke, loads of fresh pow nearly everyday it seems to fall, town is a pile of white! Been lucky to ride with a bunch of super motivated peeps and learn a thing or two from them also.
Waitin for the sun to shine and snow to stable itself up, looking forward to get into some big lines around here.
Catch you soon
Cheers
Scotty
