Have you ever partied at the GLC all night in your ski boots and still got first chair? Are you willing to work for lift operator wages but travel like a rock star? Do you shred the pow and rip the trails? Can you talk out loud? Ride Guide Productions is looking for a new microphone holder. We are looking for a candidate that has the ability to regurgitate lines while presenting physical assets into a camera. If you have the ability to memorize a handful of lines, look good in free swag, know what’s going on in the industry and who’s doing what and not waste our time, then send us your bio and photos to
info@rideguide.ca . If you make the first cut you will need to send a video reel to the office on DVD or Mini DV.

Shakedown went down yesterday at Mont Saint Sauveur, as expected the crew from Empire continue to step it up.
Out of 80 riders, Adam Chuntz from Ontario took home first place wining an all expenses paid trip to Super Park in Colorado from Snowboarder Magazine.
Gabriel Mercier-Drouin rounded up second and with such tight competition Alexandre Ferland and Fred Lacroix both got on the podium sharing third place.
20 pro riders competed for $5,000 in the Coors Light Rail Jam, Louif Paradis and Charles Reid made it difficult for the judges to choose a winner, both riders were on their game, but in the end the $5,000 went to Louif Paradis.
