If you have some photos of the Slocan skatepark (or others in the area) that could be used for a photo tour, skateparktour.ca would love to be able to use them. Slocan is truly “off the beaten path” so it’s hard for us to get there but the park should be on the skateparktour.ca directory. Please email if you can help provide some pics!

Stephen, I’m not sure if you remember or not, but we taught an avalanche class together about 10 years ago with the UAC in Salt Lake. Hope all is well and glad that you relate.

Well said and actually mirrors much of my experiences with skating and my introduction into the mountains…through skateboarding, to snowboarding and soon enough to climbing to reach the higher mountains outside of the ski area that were clearly calling me to snowboard them.

You are so correct with us, not just those who have already done so but especially for those who have not ventured there yet, being able to make our own rules, can do what is right for us – what we feel inside. I have demonstrated courage in following my own path, which was far from the norm, but I still struggle with listening to my heart/voice/inner self/sixth sense. I know the answers are inside and hear/feel them but often abandon them to to second guessing, over thought, fear etc. I want people to know that the struggle to follow ones heart is challenging but oh so rewarding. Build on the small successes you have had with trusting ones heart. I gain strength and courage to continue to listen to myself by looking back at the success I have had following my heart.

May we all be happy, peaceful and healthy.

Thanks for your wonderful Manifesto!

I’m helping friend’s tour guide company and taking avalanche course.
I just finished JAN Avalanche operation Level2(same as CAA Level2).

Now I’m searching for area of our operation for future.

Please have a good spring!

Hi GJ,

How’s it going?
I like your topic of SK8.
There are quite few sk8 park in Japan too.

Please come to Japan sometime soon.
You can ride the PowPow in the mountain, glide on nice concrete wall and catch good wave in the beach!!
