Beware of Mines :x

Not everyday do you come across a sign that warns, beware of land mines. Only in Bosnia I guess? Other than that, Jahorina rocks! Fresh pow, small lift lines and the most amazing thing ever; Concession stands at the bottom of every chair lift! The ski patrol on the other hand are very tight. We got kicked out of 4 spots in one day. even the most mellow of sections on the side of cat tracks. I guess they never see people building jumps and/or riding powder.







No matter where you go, you can not escape remnants from the war. The craziest thing to see, is the occupied apartment buildings littered with bullet holes. Some even have larger holes from either tanks or rocket launchers.

Tomorrow, a new resort and some war torn jibbing!

Bosnia...Here we Come!

Packed up the van and headed South through Croatia and into Bosnia. Roads were covered with snow and our 8hour drive took us 12. The border crossing into Bosnia was very difficult, we almost had to spend the night in the van but with the right paper work and $fee$ for bringing in our generator we made it through!

If you like MEAT+CHEESE+BREAD! You will love Sarejevo! That lovely combination of carbs and protien is served
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (NO EXCEPTIONS!).

After Our breakfast of you know what, we headed to Jahorina to hit up a local resort. The locals here are afraid of powder and stay on the groomers which makes for good times for us! Started dumping in the evening and continued all night in the city. Small change of plans and we have decided to do some jibbing for the next couple of days.

Until later, don't take your vegies for granted...

Gettin at er!

We've been having some lovely conditions over here in the west coast of BRITISH COLUMBIA. Despite the lack of parking, inflating prices, and hundreds of police officers with little to do except write tickets, ( in case you haven't heard, there is a large sporting event going on in whistler/vancouver right now) our crew has kept high spirits and continues to kill it! Here are some photos from a day building a jump on Blackcomb mountain and another day up sledding near Pemberton (check the photo's of photographer Phil Tifo shreddin some lines).

Austria Shred with friends!

It's amazing how a good powder day can cure any form of hangover or any other lame stuff! clears your head and keeps you focused on the fun stuff! 1st day of shredding in Europe and many many more to come. This is gone be the perfect warm up for our Alterna shred trip to Turkey end of this month!

keep the shred alive,
Cheers,
Marius

Zdravo(Hello) from Europe

Bosnia Road Team Reporting ->

We have made it to Slovenia. It took us 24hrs of traveling to get here including lay overs and driving. Our one stop was Amsterdam for 5 hours and we were able to catch a train into the city center. Definetely a must see! The snow is falling and will continue to fall here in Slovenia. We are all extremely jet lagged and slept 13hours last night. Today we set out on the town of Maribor in the snow to look for some lines and jibs for tomorrow morning before we embark on our 8hour Drive to Boznia.

Stay tuned for More!

Bosnia bound...

Our first overseas trip of the season kicked off today. John Scarth, Jesmond Dubeau, JF Fortin and filmer Byron Kopman are heading over to meet Tadej Valentan and Domen Bizjack for a trip we are doing in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. This war torn country is run by three gangs who are fighting for control of the country. According to Domen (our slovenian bud) its pretty mellow at the moment but should make for an interesting segment. Scarth was pumped on going to an area of the world that was not so posh, definitely a contrast to what our crew is used to . Stay tuned for more photos from this trip.

Pemberton Ice Cap...

Last week we went up to the Pemberton ice cap with Dufficy, Gaetan and Benji. Duff and Benji hit a jump that looked like a massive diving board. The day crapped out on us by mid afternoon but we were able to get a few shots in the bag before heading into the trees.

End of the world jump with the ice cap in the background.

Benji was the first to hit this one.

After the light went to shit we hit up some tree bonks.

Darcy was up capturing the moment.

Gaetan was trying a cross court transfer into this tight transition.

Early Backcountry Days

We had a great day with riders Chris Rasman, Dave Short, JF + Vince Fortin and photographer John Scarth. Jumps, pillowlines, and powfields were shredded in abundance. Here are a few snaps we took along today's excellent journey in Whistler's beautiful backcountry!
