My Blog: Runway trip
By: anne-flore

Day 1
We are sitting on that oldschool chairlift in White Water BC, it s bouncing.. the slope is still untracked.. The fog is going up and the sun starts appearing behind the evergreens. The snow builds up on the trees,, they are frozen.. everything is white and crutsy, humid, fresh tracks, pillows, cold and heartwarming. Runs in the trees all the way to the road and hitchhike back to the lift. Small resort, 2 lifts.
This is how poetic the trip started.. and the crew made it all become funky and adventurous! Leanne Pelosi, Janna Meyen, Natasza Zureck and I are following Shandi Campos and Scott in the deepest of their mountains..

Day 2
Crazy way up the hill this morning, cross avi passes.. huge avalanches. Danger zone.
The sleds go down, shandy saves us all.. I m on the radio.. I m so important with my radio!! Next one! Sweet and mellow Pillow lines.
Nat let her sled go straight into a tree.. half of it just commits to suicide.. the sled seems fine.. upper bowl I spit my lungs in the death zone. Cant see shi*t.. scared as hell..
Adrenaline I love you, best drug ever. Scott shreds down that line I was way too scared to do on his noboard! That’s the coolest thing by the way!! No Boardng? Love it!
Janna rips it on her sled!! She jumps even! Randy (Shandy’s dog) runs faster then any of us on the sleds.. and hangs with us all day up there! Warm and sunny. Christy runs over that other dog. Bamboo or meetball should we call it? The dog goes under the track of the sleds and gets spit out the other end. The dog seems to be used to it..
We find sick cliffs and sweet pillow lines.. the snow is epic! On the ride down a huge avalanche had crossed our track back.. our only way out.. we had to dig our way through tons of heavy snow! Happy day.

Day 3
On the third day we found huge rocks pillows field! Messy day.. tired day.. Janna is having enough fun for all of us! Huge airs out of that one sick rock pillow.. me hungry, me grumpy when hungry.. me not friendly when grumpy! Sorry..

Day 4
Janna is a sledneck, she went TTT (to the top) on her sled high marking way better then any of the sled duds.. scott fs 360 on that natural hit in the middle of his line on a No Board! What?! All the girls are killing it! We all stomped our cliff lines first track! We are all done by noon and just have a good time. The dogs are here too, they are so cool.. they just run all the way up the tracks and hang out with us all day..
lunar eclips and famly dinner.. good times..

Day 5
Tired.. sketchy avalanche area, no roping for the first time, it s really like surfing on snow. WE are all quite tired, lucky that Natasza is hard working for us all, and she didn’t die on that first try. We watch and sit in the sun. move the sled to sun little by little as the shadow gets us.. wett boots tired back to our hobbit houses. Me tired, me even stop talking when tired. Good night. The week end approaches and it’s time for us to rest before we keep on shooting.. That was an epic week and certainly the most productive in a long time.. check next year’s Runway movie to see the footage!

News and Stuff: MGT Park Clinic and "2 BUCK CHUCK" Slopestyle
By: MGTSnowboardCamp

Girls from near and far showed up to the 2 BUCK CHUCK All Girl Park Clinic and Slopestyle Contest presented by MGT Snowboard Camp, Burton and Grouse Mtn. This is the 5th annual contest series spearheaded by MGT and had 60 female riders pushing their skills over the January 5-6 weekend in spite of the face wash Mother Nature gave them.

The park clinic portion of the 2 BUCK CHUCK program kicked off on Saturday with pow turns, fierce fog and freezing rain but the Grouse staff were quick to dust off take offs and keep the soft landings for mellow consequences and progression. Campers were sponging every trick in the book from the MGT coaches Leanne Pelosi, Molly Milligan, Robin Van Gyn, Amanda Mourant, and Joanna Majcherkiewicz. The sponging was so good that the MGT coaches were being given a run for their money towards the end of the day. Minus the facial sting from the freezing rain, everyone went home with new tricks and new stoke for the 2 BUCK CHUCK slopestyle the next day.

Sunday’s slopestyle began with thick North Vancouver fog and a thick blanket of snow. But even thicker was the unbreakable vibe of the event created by entourage. Among the swarm were MC’s Damon Pyatt and Dixon from the Boardroom, the crew at Rip.tv and MGT coaches and riders Marie France Roy and Bev Vuilleumier. The competitors that came from everywhere to get a piece of the MGT pie had a large crowd to watch them get trickatronic. There were cupcakes, Red Bull, bumpin’ tracks, dance parties, and a whole lot of snow. The open jam kicked off with sick tricks like backlips and 180’s on being thrown down right off the bat. 14-year-old Brooke Voight stepped it up with a sick switch front board on the down rail and opened up the tech can of worms.

After a 2 hour jam, the MGT judges went into the cupcake bunker and made some hard decisions. MGT vet and last years winner, Raewyn Reid of Calgary landed in 3rd place by hammering out some switch-up’s on the flat down, back 180’s on the down bar. Raekwon, as she’s often referred to, took home $250 and a branded 2 BUCK CHUCK hammer. Not far ahead was Claudia Avon of Quebec in 2nd place who threw down consistently throughout the contest and landed a clean 270 onto the down bar. Claudia won $500, a 2 BUCK CHUCK branded hammer and a spot at the Billabong Flaunt It Slopestyle in Quebec in March. But it was Breanna Stangeland of Calgary/Whistler who stood out with spins on almost every feature, barley’s and 180’s on and off the down bar, and a backlip pretzel out which put Breanna in 1st and also won her best trick! Breanna took home $1150 cash, a giant 2 BUCK CHUCK branded axe and a spot to compete with the crème de la crème of the shred pie at the Burton Abominable Snow Jam in Mt.Hood this summer.

In spite of the weather, the 2 BUCK CHUCK logger jam blasted through and wrapped a 5th solid event that continues to increase female participation in contests and fosters progression. MGT sends out a huge Thank You to all the supporters, coaches, campers, Grouse Mountain terrain park staff and Jeff Silcock, Damon from Coastal Riders, Dixon from Boardroom, Leah from Rip.tv, Birnie at Dragon, crew at Burton, 32, Etnies Girl, K2, Billabong and the Canadian Snowboard Federation.

MGT Crew.

Snowboard.com News: 2007 Burton Canadian Open Snowboarding Championships Cancelled
By: Snowboard.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2007 Burton Canadian Open Snowboarding Championships Cancelled

BURLINGTON, VT (November 14, 2007) – Burton Snowboards and CODA’s Canada Olympic Park today announced that they have decided to cancel the upcoming Canadian Open Snowboarding Championships due to recent above-freezing temperatures. After careful consideration, all parties agreed that current snow conditions prevent the construction of world-class halfpipe and slopestyle venues, which are required for a Burton Open Snowboarding Championship event.

“Our first goal with any Global Open Series event is to provide riders with the best halfpipe and slopestyle competitions possible,” said Burton Events Director Liam Griffin. “Of course, we’re disappointed that we can’t hold the Canadian Open this year. But we’re also very happy about the excitement this new edition to the Burton Global Open Series generated – both from riders and sponsors. Support from the resort, the industry, the athletes and everybody involved has been huge since we started working on the event.”

The inaugural Burton Canadian Open was scheduled to take place from December 3-9, 2007 at CODA’s Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. Staff there were also disappointed that this world-class event is unable to go forward this year. "Unfortunately Mother Nature has not been cooperating with us the last few weeks, to allow us the necessary seven to 10 days of freezing temperatures to ensure the best possible conditions for the athletes," said Jim Younker, acting president, CODA. "The future of this event here in Calgary is very exciting, and a great addition to our international sports calendar that we host here at Canada Olympic Park."

Top riders from over ten different countries were confirmed to compete, including current Burton Global Open Series point leaders Mason Aguirre (USA) and Elizabeth Beerman (USA) as well as four of the top five current Swatch Ticket To Ride Tour male and female current point leaders.

Seasoned pros like Louie Vito (USA), Jussi Oksanen (FIN), Andy Finch (USA), Scotty Lago (USA), Kelly Clark (USA) and Jamie Anderson (USA) all had committed to compete at the event. Canadians Leanne Pelosi, Dustin Craven, Crispin Lipscomb, TJ Schneider, Brad Martin, Sarah Conrad were also very much looking forward to the first Burton Global Open competition on their home turf.

With the cancellation of the Canadian Open, the Burton European Open (BEO) is now the next event in the Burton Global Open Series. Taking place in LAAX, Switzerland from January 11-18, the European Open offers riders a generous prize purse of US $125,000, important points towards the male and female 2008 Burton Global Open Series Championship titles and points towards the Swatch TTR (Ticket to Ride) World Tour Ranking.

MGT Snowboard Camp Teams Up with Camp of Champions for Summer 2007

By MGT Snowboard Camp

May 13, 2007

Whistler, BC – MGT Snowboard Camp and Camp of Champions have teamed up again to create the MGT Girls Session in Whistler, BC, Canada. The session is hosted by COC on North America’s largest private summer terrain park! Did you miss last summer’s Numa Numa Dance Party on the NOMIS box? Still pickled that you didn’t make the Get a Haircut Get a Real Shred Job after camp activity? Or the Shred Boys of Summer photo auction? MGT will once again return with more good times all hosted on COC’s progressive terrain.

“The terrain we can access through this relationship is ideal; summer weather and as close to winter conditions and features as you can get,” says MGT coach and camp director Leanne Pelosi. “We’re giving out big bags of rad this summer too, that’ll be the biggest draw.” says camp director Joanna Majcherkiewicz. Rounding out the MGT crew this summer will be Jacqui Berg, Alexis Waite, Dominique Vallee, Robin Van Gyn, Amanda Mourant and other ladies with mean handplants and tail blocks.

The Camp of Champions winter quality summer snow park will be even better than ever this summer with the record breaking snowfall that Whistler experienced. Besides the unique terrain on Blackcomb Glacier that the MGT Girls Session at COC offers campers can also get down in the renown Whistler Bike Park, the skateboard park, go rock climbing, shimmy around on three golf courses, chill at one of many warm lakes or take in the Whistler nightlife.

This will be the fourth year that MGT Snowboard Camp offers a summer snowboard program and fifth year offering winter camps. MGT coaches are professional female snowboarders including celebrity guest coaches and up and coming riders. Some of the current strong regional and national level riders have come up through the program and will be up on the glacier this summer to spread the shred too. Some up-and-comers to keep on your shred radar on include Bev Vuillemier and Raewyn Reid.

To learn more about MGT Girls Session at the Camp of Champions, and to get really really good this summer, please contact Robin Van Gyn at

My Blog.: Vans cup
By: Pelosi

Just sitting in my hotel in Reno after doing the vans cup. I got 3rd in the rail jam, pretty stoked. I got noseslide, back 270 out...tail slide front 270 out and almost a front 180 to switch 5050 to cab 180 off. Erin Comstock won, she deserved it, I was happy for her.

So I get to the airport later on today, expecting to go home to Vancouver...and i find out that my flight was booked for April 4th, not March 4th!!!! And it was a Sunday so all their flights were sold out. booooooo. Can't get on a flight till tomorrow morning. I guess that's what you get when you book flights half asleep! geez.

Tomorrow I'm meeting Tyler Lepore and our RUnway Films filmer Jeff and we're heading to the Cascade mountains in washington to go for a heli trip. My first ever helicopter trip!!! I hope we dont crash, because I am afraid of heights....not on my snowboard, but in things that I can't control, hell yeah.

It's been dumping there all week, so I suppose there will be some really good snow, but also we'll have to be really careful of what we ride due to avy danger.

Anyhooooo, peace oot and i'll update with pics soon
