Have been snowboarding since the late 80's it is my true passion. I also ride a custom flying V, however this year I will be switching to a Prior Khyber as well as a Khyber split for back country.

Prior boards are top notch, made in whistler by hand and will out perform any board out there. i will also be a prior dealer this winter if anyone is interested in viewing them let me know. Visits will be by appointment only and I should have stock in september.

sorry to advertise in the thread.....have a great day. ride hard, seek the deep!!

I ride a fish for the deep pow when I am catboarding.

A custom flying v for the mountain days.

Such an incredible feeling to be floating on waist deep powder.

Cant wait till December for the first cat trip.

I have been to Mustang Powder a bunch of times.

It has honestly gotten better each time that I go. I cant believe that it does, but if something aint broke, I am not gonna fix it. There are other lodges that I would like to try, but I am a creature of habit.

The trip for opening weekend has 6 of us going and the one in March is a full cat of 13 this year.

I love snowboarding, its why I moved from Edmonton to Calgary to be closer to the mountains. I want to try out cat boarding but will probably need a bigger board.

the feeling of being on a snowboard in deep powder is amazing. it is the reason I hike most of the time in the back country rather than stand in lines to ride groomed runs lol.
