Alex’s day job consists of getting a suntan from his computer monitor as an IT professional, When the weekend rolls around he turns to his true passion in life…Snowboarding. He believes there is nothing better in life than hopping on a bus full of people who share the same ideals and heading to the snowy peaks of the infamous Rockies . He finds mixing his asian way of life with everyone and everything extremely humorous, hence the name token azn. His hobbies include: Partying, Eating, Watching movies, Sleeping, and Shredding mad gnar buckets of phatty pow pow on the mow mow, all of which are included on all DHR tours! Now how coincidental is that?!

Daisy decided if she was going to freely choose to live in a country with -30 degree weather, than she's going to do it in style. She strapped onto a board and never looked back. What started off as a hobby, has now become a passion and lifestyle. By day, she moonlights as a director for an audio visual company. If she's not in the mountains riding DHR style, she's doing her thing as a hip hop and contemporary dance instructor. She became a tour guide because she loves sharing her weekends meeting new people who have the same love for playing in the snow as her. Seriously, nothing beats the energy of our trips!

Darren is a very outgoing snowboarder with a craving for the powder. Growing up in Ontario and spending 5 years on skipatrol there, I quickly realized how much fun the deep snow covered mountains of the west were. During the "down" season, I still enjoy the mountains with activities like, hiking, mountain biking and canoeing. Fernie is my favourite Mountain destination and have had some of the best riding in my life there

Wilson is an easy-going, laid back guy who originally hails from Ontario. After learning to ride on the icy slopes of Quebec he packed up in hopes of finding the elusive powder and now calls Western Canada his playground. He has been enjoying its epic pow since 2006. Always up for a challenge he often finds himself in over his head and can be seen cart wheeling (not by choice) down the side of a mountain. Summer or winter he always finds endless ways to amuse himself but especially enjoys the adventure that only the mountains can provide. As an avid traveller he has ripped up the slopes on three continents and is hungry for more. His main goal in life is to catch Marcel on a snowboard and obtain photographic evidence. Regardless of the season he always has a great time hanging out with the stellar DHR crew and is stoked for a new season of thrills, chills and in his case spills.

Stop having a boring tuna and start having an exciting life. Eric believes there is time to be serious and then there is time to not be serious. During the summer he spends his time eating beef on the wakeboard but dreams for the snow to drop. After being a customer for several years he had to become a guide to satisfy his addiction for gnar. Having a blast with new friends that share the same love for mountain fun makes Eric eager for the next session. Eric knows that snowboarding saved skiing from extinction but doesn’t’ harsh on the Edmontosauruses that still like it (:=). He was a skier that threw down the poles of oppression to became a snowboarder and now understands that the best use for a ski is a shot-ski....last call, first chair, winter 2010, booya, you're gonna love his nuts

The Kaptain started life as a twin-planker, and then switched teams about 10 years ago to the dark side. Kicking Horse Resort is his poison of choice, and you will find him SHREDDING THE GNAR (thanks JB) off whitewall or the Chutes off of CPR ridge. Nothing beats a powder day, except when you can share it with a couple of friends. The Kaptain spends his time outside DHR working to fund his overseas trips, mods to his motorbike, and sharing great times with best friends.

Heather loves the mountains and the outdoors. That’s why she is studying to become a scientist in land reclamation. She is serious during the week, but needs some serious balance in her life. So that means going extreme on the weekends. In the summer she challenges the mountains with bikes, just her feet, and maybe a little spandex. Heather never realized how much spandex she owned until she became a DHR PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE. Spandex aside, the mountains are her wanna-be home. She loves shredding that pow and making a bus full of new friends!

Since learning to ski on the best runs Saskatchewan has to offer, he now makes the Rockies his winter playground. After a week of adjusting patients, he welcomes a weekend on the slopes where the only thing he will need to adjust are his goggles to see what thrill ride gravity will him on next. Though summer finds him on a wakeboard, he hasn't figured out how to impair his mental status enough to transfer that to snowboarding. Sensitive to the needs of the uncoordinated and challenged, Jason can often be seen patiently waiting for boarders to fasten their bindings at the top of the mountain. An avid skier and humanitarian, his technical skill is plainly evident in the powder, in the bumps, and in the hot-tub. Because looking fantastic off the hill is as important as looking fashionable on-piste, Jason prides himself on his stylish collection of colorful apres-ski slacks

Jeff "Pokey" Henderson loves to have a great time,ALL the time!! although Downhill Riders takes busloads of people to the mountains to ride the endless supply of white puffy loveliness, He finds that the whole DHR experience is much more than that! from the party busrides to the bar parties,to room parties,to hot tubs,etc, there is NEVER a dull moment!! when he isnt riding the mountains, he keeps to the streets with some sidewalk surfing or hitting up a vintage vw show in his 1966 lowrider volkswagen bus! jeffs motto is,it doesnt matter what you are "ridin",just "RIDE ON!"

Jen is a bit of a crazy girl that likes extreme everything- especially snowboarding! Wether its a treacherous hike to the top of a mountain or perhaps cage diving with Great White Sharks- its all out all year long. If she is not on the hill, you'll find her on another wild adventure, camping with friends or racing around on a motor bike. Bones mend, scars heal, glory is forever!

Jessica is a fun-loving sweetie
New to DHR, she's sure to be neatie!
Her passion is snow, tall peaks and low
And apres-ski she likes a martini!

Jill has just recently moved from beautiful Jasper, Alberta to the big city of Edmonton in order to "contribute to society" and she also ran out of couches to surf on in the small town. She loves making trips to the mountains whenever she can to shred some powder. If the weather doesn't work out you can find her in the lounge working on her alcohol consumption technique. She's a professional at moon walking on a moving bus and is always the life of the party. Jill is looking forward to hitting the slopes with everyone from DHR this year. Her personal motto is go big or go to the lounge

Jules is a vivacious gal that enjoys high kicks, california track suits and cruising down a black diamond at a whooping 30 km/hour. Slow and steady is her motto. What she lacks in guts she make up for in enthusiasm and social skills. She never leaves anyone behind on the dance floor or at the shot ski.

Beer flogger by day, beer drinker by night! Krista Klemick can often be seen in situations filled with adventure. Typically these ideas conjured up by the previous beer drinking events…. which translates to fun bus stories & epic times! When hitting the slopes, Krista prefers two planks to one…. “It’s easier to dig yourself out of the tree well”. As for the off-season…. there is only one season in Krista’s world: ski season, and you can ski 12 months a year. It just requires some creative thinking. The ability to speak French in Russian also helps!

Luke was shipped to Edmonton from a land far away. After not seeing snow for 4 years he was very excited for the winter to come…and when it finally came he was even more excited to see it go away. For several years he dreaded the long cold Canadian winter. Until one year some friends took him snowboarding, which ended in physiotherapy for 3 months. Maybe it is the countless head injuries that keep him coming back year after year or the fresh crisp air and the rush you get flying down the mountain. Maybe it is drinking vodka at high altitudes or the soothing Hot tubs. Maybe it is the great people. Regardless he’s here, he’s fun and most of all …we just can’t get rid of him.

Marcel once had grand plans of ruling the world with an iron fist, but sadly succumbed to his genetic destiny and instead ended up a plumber. When not going more bald (those genes again), he enjoys pretending he’s smarter than you, drinking beer, and pontificating about the virtues of skiing over snowboarding. Kind of the Cliff Clavin of DHR. He once briefly considered trying snowboarding, but quickly found talking with a lisp and wearing assless chaps to be tiresome. In the winter it’s all about getting as much vertical as possible while in the summer hiking, camping, biking, and riding his crotch rocket keep him mildly amused, but never enthused.

Mike loves being outside and in the mountains so much that he works full time as an outdoor educator. He also is a part time secondary school teacher. Usually, Mike can be found outdoors (often in the mountains) doing things like canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, ice climbing, snowshoeing, and skiing (both downhill and cross country).

Ryan is an outgoing, charismatic thrill seeker, whom like most; plays the role of a by day professional, and makes as much time available for partying, snowboarding, dirt biking, quadding, and camping. The outdoors plays one of the most important part of his life! Life on the mountains started for Ryan when he was 8 years old putting 5 years on the “Disco Sticks” (thanks Kim “Mad-Dog”) before strapping on a board and bombing down the hill at 14 years old. Since the old days of riding up the rickety old chairlift at rabbit hill, he has strived to conquer as many mountains as possible, taking his snowboard with him wherever there may be snow. Ryan Looks forward to yet another insane year with downhill riders!

Stephanie loves being outdoors weather I am catching a tan off snow peaked mountains or by the waters edge. I work full time as an electrician to pass the time during the day, and with those proceeds I enjoy all that life has to offer, and I live the life that I imagine. No stranger to Downhill Riders, been on plenty of trips, this year I am looking forward be apart of the DHR team

When Trevor's not busy referring to himself in the third person he'll either be playing in the dirt or the snow, and sometimes they combine to make mud, or just dirty snow. He digresses. Every since he was a young lad he couldn't turn left, so he strapped on a snowboard and carved left instead. He loves being anywhere on a mountain, especially the trees, steeps, shreddin' the gnar pow (J.B), jumps, and rides in the park only when feeling like landing on his face. He's a landscaper by day so if you get stuck under a tree - don't call him, cause it's the weekend and he's not working, he's snowboaring. He believes the best way to spend a winter weekend is in the mountains with the amazing DHR crew, but he just can't decide what's better; snowboarding or an apres ski party in the tub - he'll just do both

Trevor has endless energy loves people and getting out to the mountains to share the experience with others. When out on the mountain I prefer more advanced terrain and look for jumps, steeps and cliffs but occasionally venture into the terrain park. I also reserve some time for the kiddy hill with my little man! During the summer season I play competitive slo-pitch for multiple teams including one out of Calgary and one in Lethbridge (nickname: Wal*Mart). Other hobbies consist of watching baseball, golfing and camping and short walks to the hot tub (ADHD ..and they are usually cold)!
