Why I Love Sun Peaks: I love Sun Peaks because 18 years ago I moved here for the riding and stayed for the people. I absolutely love being in our cozy mountain village and this place has had a huge impact on who I've become today. Snowboarding here has been an important part of my life and it's all about sharing the love of the ride, friends and being in my favourite place - the mountains. I've always said that Sun Peaks just seems to have its own little heart beat, and I'm super stoked to be here.

Hometown: Fort McMurray, AB | Current Town: Kamloops, BC
Sponsors/Shout-outs: The Truth Skate & Snow
Why I Love Sun Peaks: Coming from way up north I dreamt of having access to a chill mountain resort not far from where I live, and now look; I've got Canada's 2nd largest ski resort 45 minutes from my house, and when you know where to look, there are powder stashes that will last for days after a good dump. Not to mention a grooming program that is second to none, and a dope top-to-Bottoms park to back it all up! And I'm the lucky guy who gets chosen to be an Ambassador for the place I love. Sounds like a dream come true to me!

Why I Love Sun Peaks: I love the community, it brought me back after some years away. The snow quality and runs are generally pretty consistent and we have a long, fun terrain park which is also a huge bonus. Small lift lines and our village is simply so cute, it still mesmerizes me every time I walk through it at night with all the lights.
