Dispatches: Quebexit Strategy – Oli Gagnon 1.5 Pemberton
March 22

6am in Pemberton, such a nice sunrise! Today I'm going up sledding with Devun, Iikka and Kimmy Fasani. I got back from Japan last night so I'm still pretty jet lagged. Should be a good day!

Oli Gagnon left the North Island and made his way back home to Canada where he went straight into the backcountry with DC riders Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom and, Kimmy Fasani. The life of a snowboard photographer.

We ran into Jake Blauvelt in the parking, he was going riding solo so we just all teamed up for the day. Warm up soccer ball session before the sled ride.

Fine tuning the track before the 25 km bumpy trail. Eeeeerrtzz

This is whats up. A true man’s board.

Early morning step-down session, Iikka and jake slayed it real quick into this tight landing.

Then of course the clouds rolled in for a while.

After sledding around for a bit the dudes scoped out a nice jump spot.

Building time! Notice how Devun and Kimmy color-matched theyre jackets before going up.

Kimmy pictured here paying the price.

You know it’s a hammer when you see that smile.

I was almost able to snap a photo of Devun and Iikka doubling up butt-to-nuts.

Pizza for lunch.

Another stepdown, that one was quick to build. Trick talk on the lip.

Kimmy stomped her trick and blacked out.

Iikka and Devun’s new rig. Killer highmarks
Iikka trying out my ASMO board for the first time!
