Since retiring from the World Cup in 2002, backcountry snowboarding has become my focus until I was called upon to Coach the Canadian Alpine Snowboard Team.  I have always managed to sneak in a few freeride trips a year to places like Alaska, Chile, and Greenland. These trips were for photo and filming shoots primarily. It was always about the “sick line” and where to place the camera man. Being responsible to guide others for a fun, safe adventure in the mountains is very different than my usual selfish fix.  Not competing has given me more time to educate myself further about backcountry snowboard guiding.
