The long overdue and much anticipated final chapter of the BESTofBC series brings us to one of my favourite places on the planet – Chatter Creek
This trip was lining up to be all time, with Cody Townsend, Leah Evans and Josh Daiek leading the charge. The idea was to film a segment with Salomon FreeskiTV where we’d all go out and find some amazing snow, make some turns and catch some air. For me this was a dream trip come to life. …
