I flew into Puerto Vallarta with Brad excited about blue skies and bright sunny days. I started smiling when I heard the duet of merchants pushing product for pesos and the sounds of waves crashing on the beach. It only took a couple of hours before I caught the smell of adobo camarones being grilled beachside. Every morning a talented local skim scene would show up in numbers at the beach riding through the tourists floating in the waves. We wandered the street vendors in the afternoons eventually finding our way up to the river where the rope swing and tree drops were in fine view while we were catching some shade. As our last days approached we rode the bus to Boca and took a boat to Yelapa riding horses across the river, through the village and up to the local waterfall. I can’t quite wrap my head around how fast the days go by, but I’m grateful to keep exploring these beautiful places. Hasta Luego, 🇲🇽
@vanular saw me eyeing a three-piece line after our women’s practise. This StepUp Stoneham NorAm Rail Event has a really great selection. I underestimated how high that cross bar Ollie actually was.
Thanks for the @joystick_ski poles

⚠️ LITTLE BIT OF A SHOT IN THE DARK ⚠️
In 2019 I purchased this Letterman sweater off of a popular website and it was shipped to me. ( this was before I hit the road sourcing) This Wool letterman was with me for two years before I launched “Little Brothers e-commerce.” We would upload detail images, a look book, and 15 items every Friday. We would keep all items on the site for 72 hours. After the 72 hours all items that had not sold would be pulled off line and stored in a trunk. During the 6th collection this item was uploaded to our site. After 72-hours the item had not sold. The item was stored in a trunk the following day and the other items were shipped. After the 8th collection, Owen approached me with a concept: I’m brewing at Still Fields Brewery, I have a 1970s Travelux airstream you could turn into a retail space, come check it out tomorrow.” I viewed the Travelux and the next day, Owen and I agreed to a light retail renovation commencing the beginning of Little Brothers residency at Still Fields Brewery in Mid - November 2021.
Two months later a Christmas market has been scheduled for mid-December 2021 at Still Fields Brewery. Hundreds of people show up to this event and this Letterman sells as a cash transaction with no purchaser details stored on our POS system. Fast forward 4 years later - the original seller of this Letterman writes to me stating; their grandfather, who is in the photo they shared with me recently passed. The seller is looking to reunite his grandmother with the Letterman. I’m unable to identify the new owner of this Letterman sweater to the previous seller.
I’m hoping sharing this might reach the new owner. I’m hoping it doesn’t cause guilt to interact with the previous owner. As a shop owner you shouldn’t have to ask these things. As someone who understands challenging loss, I want to be helpful!
If you have seen this Letterman, or know who currently has it could you kindly ask them to speak with us!
✨ Hoping for a Christmas Miracle ✨

We’ve been arriving early and shooting items for our online shop. When Nic and I heard a knock at the door before opening hours, we welcomed Patrick in. We hit topics like film projects, camera’s, west coast vintage vs east coast and praised the lighting in our shop. It’s very rare Nic and I have our photo taken together, but we are thankful you took a moment while you navigated your way through the neighbourhood, Patrick!

Thank you will never be enough. 🤍
You took him under your wing in his youngest years, and you taught him how to soar—not just on skis, but in life.
We will be forever grateful to the Contender family and the amazing coaches for loving, supporting, encouraging, and protecting Leo.
Leaving this team fills me with sadness, but also so much happiness for the family we’ve built, friendships that will last a lifetime and mentorship that will stay with our son forever.

This is 25 years of freeskiing for me 😊. I’m proud of this life I committed to when I was 12 and the dream I chased moving to Whistler on my own at 16. I am who I am because of the two jobs it took to get me started and shaped the work ethic it taught me to run the two businesses I put my heart into day-to-day. I am lucky to be my age and leave the ground and I’m thankful for the control I have in my life to do these things I love. This season was big and this spring was nostalgic. I lapped with some old friends, I coached some up and comers and I watched some of the bright future go F****** BIG! Whistler is legendary and it felt so good to be home! Thank you @lineskis@lineskis.ontario
I got a call from Graham saying he wanted me to connect with the Line team he has been building in Ontario. I don’t even think I got past the first rail before I went right to work with the very talented photographer @chrisfitzsimmons - Sometimes chemistry between rider and media just clicks and things turn out Ace! I am ultra thankful for the sunny day, slushy snow, talented laps with the team and solid build @beavervalley.snowparks back in March.- If you are looking for a ski, look into the @lineskis@willwesson Pro-model before it sells out ! The flex is so rare, I am so happy for you Will!
