Give a ski bum a car and he'll find you a party.
What does a ski bum dream about on those cold, blustery nights spent in the van? What kind of adventures and escapades could possibly lay in store for the skier who only lives for powder? How about endless powder, hot showers, hot meals and high fives all stretched along a mountainous highway.
Well, the Powder Highway, a collection of ski resorts and cat-skiing/heli-skiing operations in interior British Columbia knew this was the case and offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for one lucky ski bum to reap the benefits of a winter spent deep in the Kootenay, Purcell, and Monashee mountain ranges. All it took to win was a 90 second YouTube video describing the ultimate ski bum. Who was this lucky ski bum? After many solid entries and sacrificial offerings, the Powder Highway tribe of ski bum gods made their decision: yours truly.
Below is the winning video submission along with a video chronicle of the best winter of my life, filmed and edited by my good friend Justin Dersham (Juice Dutcham). Enjoy!

Hey Chris, loved your adventure vids from the Powder Highway.
Glad you loved your Canadian Ski Experience.
I bought a pair of Titan Kent Kreitler Pros from Arne(RIP) a few years back and had seen something online about you putting some rocker on a pair.
Care to share some details?
I’m hoping to rocker them here in hope that LaNina returns here to Whistler.
Later, Gary
Hey Gary!
Glad you dig the vids. Thanks for the stoke. As for the Kreitlers, Kiffor Berg and I just wrenched ‘em between the bars of an iron-work fence. We made sure to place the part of the ski where we wanted the ‘rocker’ to start at the leverage point. Worked pretty well. If you get a chance to demo a pair of the new Blizzard Bodacious, you’ll see where we took that ‘rocker’…so freakin fun!
