Backcountry Shredding 101: The FUNdamentals

AsideJanuary 17, 2019February 9, 2021 live4therushLeave a comment

Another winter season has come along and I can’t help notice the increased popularity to venture outside the resort boundary lines and shred in the backcountry. I took my very first avalanche safety course 6 years ago, and couldn’t believe how hard it was to find someone even interested in the idea of signing-up and […]

Winter 2017/2018 – Work and Play in the Mountains

AsideApril 18, 2018April 18, 2018 live4therushLeave a comment

The winter season is almost over, and it seemed like it was always good conditions for the whole winter unless you talked to someone who doesn’t snowboard or ski and spent the majority of their winter shovelling snow off the driveway. I was employed as Ski Patrol at Silver Star Mountain this winter season with […]

Biking NZ Part 6: Old Ghost Road – The Loop

AsideApril 14, 2017September 8, 2017 live4therush1 Comment

I can still remember being at the airport when we arrived in New Zealand 14 months ago and was flipping through one of the local mountain bike magazines. I saw a feature for the Old Ghost Road and I knew right away I wanted to bike the trail! That first summer up in Rotorua mention […]

We’ve been in New Zealand for almost a year now and the time travelling around both the North and South islands while working, snowboarding and mountain biking has gone by too fast. There’s still so much we want to explore and learn about this amazing country! Here’s 10 more things we’ve learned, embraced and love […]

Snow Stoke Q&A: Rance Tuff (aka gohuckyourself)

AsideOctober 20, 2016January 17, 2019 live4therush1 Comment

It’s been a wicked winter for us in the southern hemisphere experiencing both the ups and downs of what a splitboard season in New Zealand is like and why the existing yet very small backcountry community is slowly growing. Even now that we’ve packed our split gear away and pulled the bikes out for a […]

Why Backcountry?

AsideOctober 11, 2016September 8, 2017 live4therushLeave a comment

Why backcountry? Why go from the confides of society where all lifes amenities can be readily attained and help is only a short call away? For me backcountry is a relatively new word to my vocabulary. As a kid, cellphones were non-existent and our pedal bikes were the only thing we needed to venture away from […]
