It's not about the bike this week. From time to time, I branch out to have a conversation with someone who inspires me.Kirby Brown is an old friend who I met in Whistler B.C. back in the 90's. At the time we were both working for Whistler Mountain, now Whistler Blackcomb. Kirby worked in guest services, while I worked at McKonkey's Sports Shop across the hall as a rental “technician”. We've always kept in touch.Kirby would constantly challenge himself in roles he felt he was under qualified for but would allow him to make change in impactful ways. Along the way he discovered his passion for community building, which became his primary focus and he has found great personal meaning working at making the world a better place. In 2015, Kirby became the GM of the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish BC. His goal was to create an experience for guests to showcase the beauty of the region, and the community responded with their full support. But that support wasn't universally felt. Some disagreed with the project, and worked to undermine this vision. On Aug. 10, 2019, someone climbed up one of the towers and cut the haul rope, bringing the entire dream down. This not only devastated the business but also affected the community deeply. Kirby stepped up to not only help breath life back into the project, but also to focus on taking care of all the employees and families that were affected. Then, just months after the gondola's resurrection, it was cut down a second time. Kirby is also on the board for Playground Builders, a wonderful organization that he joined in 2007.“We build playgrounds for children in war-torn areas. In Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, there are no safe places for children to play. Most kids have never experienced the joy of a swing or the thrill of a slide. We are dedicated to building hope and peace through the gift of play.”In this episode we cover a lot of ground. We talk about Playground Builders as well as the tragic story of the Sea to Sky Gondola. We chat about the importance and meaning behind altruism and how helping others can bring more joy to our own lives. Kirby is a good dude and someone that I look up to as a mentor and I'm grateful for our friendship.

Jayson shares memories of trips to the Spearhead Range as a child, before ski touring and avalanche safety equipment were available. And describes how his trips to the Alps inspired his interest in alpine huts.

Sunday, January 14th: The Second Ski Day. ** As always, head over to the gallery from Whistler Blackcomb - January 2018 to see all photos from my adventures! ** Somewhat adjusting to the Pacific timezone (or maybe it was just how much the skiing wiped us out), my Dad, brother, and I all got a full night of sleep on Saturday night. I'm pretty sure that I was knocked out within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow. The few beers had the night before probably helped the process as well. We woke around 6:30 AM (with Shawn waking at 7 when I pile-drove him into the bed to get him up) and made breakfast. Today was to be our first full Whistler Mountain day. We got our gear on and headed to the basement to get our skis and snowboard out of the locker that we were provided and required to keep our gear in. We ventured outside the Lost Lake Lodge to the shuttle stop located at the end of the driveway and hopped on the free shuttle to get to Whistler Village. **Side note...the entire lodging operation was seamless and made getting our gear and travelling to the mountain extremely easy and accessible. I would highly recommend staying at any place near Whistler Village that has access to the free shuttle. Many of the lodges/hotels are independently run but majority have great accessibility to all of the Whistler Blackcomb amenities. ** We arrived at the same base near the Excalibur Gondola that we had taken the day before to get to Blackcomb. This time, we took the Fitzsimmons Express chair lift to access Whistler Mountain. There was the same cloud cover over the village as the day before. We were quickly learning that there seems to always be some form of a cloud layer or fog in the pacific northwest valleys - more times than not it seems. Luckily, the forecast called for breaks of sun with some clouds. Looking back at the village from the chair, we were able to see a break in the clouds and noticed the distant mountain peaks illuminated by the vibrant morning sun. Little did we know the sweetness of the bluebird treat that we would soon be served once we broke through the bottom layer of clouds. A peek through the clouds at the bluebird skies waiting above the clouds The sneak preview turned out to be right. We would soon find out how right it would be. Once we got above the base layer of clouds, there was NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY. We got to experience early morning skiing with views more expansive than anything we had ever experienced before. We strapped in and geared up, ready to soak in the sun and the views during a day we would never forget. Strapping in and gearing up - our first blue-sky view of the Canadian Rockies We had the Whistler Peak on our mind and wanted to check out the Whistler bowl at some point on this day. We made our way up another lift and got over to the base of the Whistler peak chair. Whistler Mountain backbone glistening in the morning sun We would go on to ride the Whistler Peak chair to get to the top of the world. This lift became the most terrifying, awesome, and adrenaline-pumping part of the entire trip. The chairs were normal chairs with just a single bar with foot rests restraining you. The lift passes over two cliffs at which you are 100 or more feet in the air (this may or may not be accurate...but I can tell you that you get UP THERE to the point where falling off would be painless). I was white knuckled hanging onto my poles and the restraint bar. I felt alive. See the photo below that shows the height of the first cliff that the chair climbs. In the ski day 3 blog and photos there are some great photos of the whistler peak chair from alternate angles, so be on the lookout for those. Whistler Peak chair Once we reached the summit, our amazement peaked. The views were breathtaking and I was speechless. The Whistler Mountain summit left an impression that will forever be tattooed into my memory. Canadian Rockies from Whistler Mountain Peak At this point,

Sevé Schelenz likes brownies, baseball, beer and making movies (damn, it should have been another “b” word). He began creating films at 15 with a VHS camera. Now considered an adult, Sevé has made two horror feature films. The first was entitled Skew and some people liked it. The second is Peelers. It's awesome. Sevé likes his brownies with nuts. Peelers played Shriekfest in 2016!  In 2001, Sevé created his own production company called Sleep Apnea Productions Inc. His first project was a six-episode comedy series entitled Great Scott!! …television that bothers you. The series was sold to national station The Comedy Network and the local affiliate CTV station. After this sale, Sevé created several pilot episodes for television. He also went on to complete a 13-episode comedy series entitled Stand Up on Whistler Mountain.   Lisa DeVita was born and raised in “Hollywood North,” aka Vancouver, BC.  Having decided to fully immerse herself into the role of writer, Lisa took two courses within the field to see which one appealed: Copywriting and Screenwriting. The former, while fun, didn't hold the engaging storytelling she longed for, while the latter,unequivocally captured her interest forever. She immediately enrolled in the Writing for Film and Television Program at Vancouver Film School, whose alumni include Kevin Smith and Neill Blomkamp. Upon graduation from film school, Lisa moved to Las Vegas to launch her filmmaking career. She worked as a freelance writer and amateur poker player to make ends meet.   After four years in Vegas and no significant developments in her writing and film career Lisa moved back to Vancouver, BC.  She recently wrote and produced the full-length feature film, Peelers.

Back in the day, when snowboarding was considered more of a crime than a sport, Whistler was THE place to shred the gnar on one plank. With the help of local snowboarding historians, Toaster takes us back to the old school, when people would drive across the continent for one hit on the famous Blackcomb “wind lip.” Whistler Blackcomb helped pave the way for snowboarding on the West Coast and continues to be one of the ultimate snowboarding destinations.
