Bluebird and freshies - what’s the schedule? What happen’s? What gear? Get up as early as possible, get geared-up and try not to forget anything, beacon-shovel-probe-extra lenses etc… Go to the mountain, get the sled running, and head to a zone. Built a jump, do some laps here and there with someone shuttling you up. Hit the jump and get crazy. Go back home and think about your day. Be stoked. Forum Scheme 158 would be my choice of board for that day.

Urban trip: Get up as early as possible depending on how beat you are. Get breakfast and get a plan going, with a couple options of spots in mind in case you get kicked out or something. Grab my Manual 47 for a handrail or a Youngblood 152 for a wallride kind of thing. Head to the spot. Shovel for a while depending on the set-up. If lucky enough ride and have fun. Get a banger on the side. Head home for dinner, and maybe plan on going out again later for a night session if, feeling like it.

Park Day: Thats the best! Grab a Destroyer 154 and take laps all day long. Practice some tricks here and there.

Vacation Day: No Schedule during a vacation day. Wake up late. Anything can happen. Might be skateboarding, mountain biking, surfing, hanging with my girl, reading some book…you know, fun stuff. Maybe have a drink later with some friends.

If you weren’t a pro snowboarder, what would your work day be? I guess I would still be in school if I wasn’t snowboarding.

Music: I’m very open with music, in the sense that I listen to many genres and styles. I like metal a lot, but I’m not a metal head. If I had to name a band I’m really into right I would say Mastodon.

Movies: One of the last movie I saw was Benjamin Button. I thought it was pretty good. I like movies that makes you think in a philosophical way, in instance for this movie, the notion of time. Oh and you have to check out Role Model. So funny.

Drinks: Beer Blanche de Chambly, brewed in Quebec. The bomb.
