The first day of the Silver King Freeride went down today in snowy conditions, thank the heavens. Under the few inches of new snow is icy hardpack which is really sweet, especially for the snowboard competitors who only have one edge. The riding was strong, smooth yet aggressive with a dash of contrallability, a splash of garlic, and without anyone smashing themselves.

The second round of qualifiers will be held tomorow on either the snorting elk venue once again or on the throne. Blazer (Alex Blais), last years winner, didn't show up today. The french in him must be turning him into a girly man. I guess the bouncers will have to find someone else to throw out of the bar 3-4 times on saturday.

The Silver King freeride is organized by Mountain Challenge (mountainchallenge.org) with support from Sturtevant's, Boarderline Snowboards, K2 sports, Monkey Rides, Clearly Lasik, Fuel TV, Sports Legs, Zeal Optics, Scott, Adhost Internet, Nordica, and Phiten USA.

Kayaking & Freeride In Norway

Note from DL: Keep an eye out for the ongoing adventures of these guys on their trip up Norway for some rad peak bagging. You Whistlerites will recognize Ian Cheddar Watson on the roster... should prove to be a pretty cool adventure. Here's some pre trip news, more coming from this blog as it unfolds...

Our original destination of the Alta region of Norway for this trip has been changed. Due to safety issues raised by local paddlers related to winter kayaking the area was deemed not suitable for our visit. We have therefore moved the destination to the mountains and fjords of the Lofoten region. This change has we believe worked out better than the original plans as the concept remains the same and we will now be among more spectacular mountains.

Kayaking in the fjords and ski mountaineering in the peaks above in Norway’s famous Lofoten region. In some of the most untouched areas left in Scandinavia we will access the mountains from the ocean to ski area’s rarely visited where roads are few and far between. From the ocean to the highest peaks gives an elevation of up to 1200m with ski descents possible right down to the water. This gives a vertical drop comparable to that of the Alps. This trip will take place from 21.3.07 for 10 days to get the best conditions in this area both for weather and snowcover.

(Previous expedition)

Kayaks are being used to access these remote places and to put up base camp along the way. Spotting good ski lines from the fjords we will choose the most aesthetic peaks we find. These areas in Norway are seldom skied as the access is too complicated and time consuming to approach by land. We are sking these peaks...

While we're at it with Charles Gagnier, here's a flick on youtube that Salomon put together. Kind of a cool feature on him from all over the map, mostly Europe.

Some random footie from last year's Airwaves slopestyle comp at Tignes, France. Fellow Canuck Charles Gagnier took it.
