How have you dedicated your life to the pursuit of freedom, adventure and lifestyle?
I`ve dedicated my life to the pursuit of freedom, adventure & lifestyle buy working
low paying jobs in the winter, paying high rent, cutting down to 5 bong`s a day, and leaving my familly & friends back in new-brunswick. It was pretty tough as an 18 year old kid fresh out from home to come out to Whistler & try to make it. Tough times as I`m sure that a lot of u know what i`m talking about; it aint easy living in ski towns. But these are the choices that I make so I
can live in the mountains & go on adventures every day whether it`s skiing, biking or touring. Every bit so far has been worth it. There ain't nothing like waking up to 30 cm`s of fresh when youre only 5 miniutes away from the pillow fields.

Describe your best trip: past, present (last year), and future (upcoming).
Best trip past: back when I was 17 a guy from school racked up a 150 stoners to go on
party/ski trip to a hill in Quebec called Val D`iren. I don't remember the party, but the skiing was insane; it snowed 30 cm a day for a week all the MDK crew was there, it was wicked. There is good skiing on the east cost sometimes.

Present was last april we went & hiked MT.Matier in the Cayoosh range everything was great the crew, the weed the skiing, running the gauntlet..

Future..MDK is planning a trip to hit all the mountain ranges in eastern b.c.

What are you trying to accomplish with your skiing/snowboarding? How is this significant to our community? I`m trying to have as much fun as I can when I`m skiing; to be a lot more in the backcountry with my friends finding new lines and skiing them smoothly . I also want to use my skiing to take me travling around the world, to explore new mountain ranges learn about new cultures, meet people with the same lifestyle & learn from them.
