Alex Lee aka Token Azn

Alex has been with Downhil Riders since 2009!

Alex has been snowboarding for the past 11 years... his favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C. !

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?!

Amy MacKinnon aka Beaver

Amy has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!

Amy has been snowboarding for the past 10 years... her favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C.

Who says blondes have more fun? I say SHORT people have more fun (something about having to overcompensate for their size...)! If you are short, like hanging around short people, like making fun of short people or just like making yourself feel taller, then I'm the tourguide for you! By day this mini me works at the Canadian Paraplegic Association, by night she whips people into shape and by weekend she likes to rock climb, run, bike, hike, camp, garden, read, volunteer, cook, bake, clean and of course SNOWBOARD! FYI: Two plankers get made fun of almost as much as shorties on my bus!

Arlis McKee aka Heartless

Arlis has been with Downhill Riders since 2006!

Arlis has been snowboarding for the past 16 years.... his favorite mountain is Whistler Blackcomb in B.C.

Has been searching for 16 years and along the way i have found, the deepest snow, endless chutes and bottomless bottles of rum in places where last call never comes. Where the music is never too loud. Its bluebird everyday and it snows two feet every night. The place where you will never hear, "You should have been here last week".Could this season be better? Join me and my friends on our Quest and find out.....

Daisy Aw aka Wild Flower

Daisy has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Daisy has been a snowboarder for the past 7 years... her favorite mountain is Marmot Basin in Jasper, AB

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!

Danny Schecher aka Che Che

Danny has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Danny has been snowboarding for the past 6 years.... his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden B.C.

Proud to be a Skeletonian Danny Schecher was born and raised on the playgrounds of River City. He likes to travel to the Rockies in style with good people. The more the merrier. Sleep comes second to having as much fun as possible when he’s not falling down the hill as fast as possible. Not afraid to wear a Rasta rainbow tea cozy to keep the old lid toasty; whatever floats your board or planks down the hill is fine by him. Summer doesn’t even know how to stop Danny Boy from tackling vertical. “I just wish this longboard had breaks… Medic!” Although Che Che would do anything for some good live music and is a proud supporter of the E-town art scene he still has his priorities strait, “I’m sorry I missed the big gig brother but I had to settle a score with some backcountry that tried to bite me last year”. Down Boy!

Darren Palmer aka D-Train

Darren has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Darren has been snowboarding for the past 12 years... his favorite Mountain is Fernie in Fernie. B.C.

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

Dave Wilson aka Wilson

Dave has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Dave has been snowboarding for the past 7 years... his favorite mountain is Sunshine Village in Banff, AB

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.

Dayna Jongejan aka DBO

Dayna has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Dayna has been skiing for the past 20 years... her favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C.

Dayna's motto is ' work hard, play harder'. By day she works as an economist, which is a great means to help her fund her other interests: traveling, skiing, golfing, and cooking. She has traveled to over 20 countries and is always planning her next big adventure. Dayna has been a tour guide for two years and is most well known for her intermediate (at best) skiing, yard sale wipeouts and for being the reigning DHR dancing champion.

Eric Hesse aka Hollywood

Eric has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Eric has been snowboarding for the past 4 years... his favorite mountain is Revelstoke

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

Evan Kenchington aka Kaptain "M"

Evan has been with Downhill Riders since 2004!

Evan has been snowboarding for the past 11 years... his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden, B.C.

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.

Greg German aka Dr. Stix

Greg has been with Downhill Riders since 2006!

Greg has been snowboarding for the past 3 years and skiing 10 years prior... his favorite mountain is Big White with Kelowna, B.C.

From the party bus to the slopes to the apres ski, Greg is always looking to keep fit and have fun. Greg works at The Support Network in Edmonton and is just finishing his degree at the U of A where he majors in Keeping it Real and minors in Pharmacology. Greg took a year off skiing last year when his track career evolved into a spot on the Canadian Bobsleigh Team, but was able to trade his spandex in for a one-piece and a shot-ski and is ready to get back to what he loves - snow plowing the greens!

Heather Davis aka Heyder

Heather has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Heather has been snowboarding for the past 11 years...prior 10 years as a skier... her favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C.

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!

Jason Bos aka Bonecracker

Jason has been with Downhill Riders since 2008!

Jason has been skiing for the past 28 years... his favorite mountain Fernie in B.C.

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 Henderson aka Pokey

Jeff has been with Downhill Riders since 2004!

Jeff has been snowboarding for the past 11 years.. his favorite mountain is Whitefish, in Montana USA

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 Grundke aka Jenny

Jen has been with Downhill Riders since 2006!

Jen has been snowboarding for the past 8 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

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 Saulnier

Jessica has been with Downhill Riders since 2010!

Jessica has been snowboarding for the past 6 years... her favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C.

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 Barron aka Jildo

Jill has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Jill has been snowboarding for the past 10 years... her favorite mountain is Marmot Basin in Jasper, AB

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 Henderson aka Pixie

Jules has been with Downhill Riders since 2005!

Jules has been snowboarding for the past 15 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

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.

Kari Brown

Kari has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Kari has been snowboarding for the past 5 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

Downtown Kari Brown. From the bush; Saskabush that is. She wears bunnyhugs, drives combine, and knows how to party!! In the summer she spends her free time at the lake; wakeboarding/skiiing, boating and...yes partying. And in the winter while she's not saving lives, she's rippin down the mountain or, climbing a mountain searching for billowy pow. If you hear a yip yip or a yee haw; look around and you're bound to catch a glimpse of Kari Brown

Katherine MacDonald

Kathering has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Katherine has been snowboarding for the past 5 years... her favorite mountain is Fernie in B.C.

Where ever the snow goes I seem to follow. I've lived in 3 different mountain towns and just can't seem to get enough of it. I'm happy go lucky and have a mind set that "you only live once" so you better make it great. Snow and me go together like peanut butter and jam. It just works.

Keela Coss

Keela is new this season with Downhill Riders.

Keela has been skiing for the past 22 years.. her favorite mountain is Panorama in Invermere, B.C.

During the summer most of my weekends I can be found with family and friends drag racing my '70 Dart, out on a ball diamond with my team, riding a R6 or doing some sort of yard work . I work full time in the oilfield testing, calibrating, and repairing tools for the rigs and I am also a part time student at NAIT completing the PFT diploma program. I love to travel and do that a lot with my husband and end up in Vegas on some random, spur of the moment trips about 3 times a year for drag races, New Years Eve parties, UFC fights and for the good times that we always have. I like to cycle, exercise, cook, and read. I'm looking forward to being apart of the DHR team, getting to know everybody and having a blast!

Kent Greaves

Kent is new this season with Downhill Riders!

Kent has been skiing and snowboarding for the past 15 years... his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

Kent spends his days behind a computer so when the weekend hits it's time to burn off some weekday steam! The mountains are truly his playground, growing up in Alberta he camps there in the summers and ski's or snowboards in the winter. Having been on ski's and a board for nearly 15 years, Kent loves to hit some good powder, especially after a good snow in Golden - you just can't beat the Foosebowl! Note that when on a trip with Kent sleeping is optional and some great fun is mandatory...especially when boarding in a stylish "onesie". All of the best times in his life have been on a hill, and he can't wait to add to your list of best memories!

Kevin Carpenter aka Carpenter

Kevin has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Kevin has been snowboarding for the past 11 years.. his favorite mountain is Revelstoke in B.C.

Hey all you Snow Lovers out there!! I dream of Powder all year round and I'm a Snowboardholic. In the Summer, when there's no snow, I like to mountain bike ,trail or big mountain, and play as much Beach Volleyball as I can. "Big Mountain Skills OR Hospital Bills" is my motto when I'm on the slopes. I love to have a Good, no, GREAT Time!

Kim MacDonald aka Maddog

Kim has been with Downhill Riders since 2004!

Maddog’s chosen device is skiing. Length of time on Disco Sticks: Quarter Century. Favorite Move (uncompleted to date): Abattoir: freestyle move where skier catches big air off a roller and lands upon a six-pack of snowboarders, sitting in the middle of the run. She has a tendency to say things she shouldn’t and digs many a hole challenging people to a Chinese Downhill.

Kolby Meyers aka Riggs

Kolby has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!

Kolby has been snowboarding for the past 14 years... her favorite mountain is Whitewater in Nelson B.C.

Kolby Meyers started out her mountain career on skis, but it didn’t take her long to discover a little thing called the ‘snowboard.’ This year will be her 14th season riding. If you don’t see her on the hill that’s because she’s off in the backcountry seeking out fresh tracks with Heartless. Nothing is better than looking over a blanket of untouched snow and knowing that you are about to tear up lines all over it. If you want to ride with me you better love long exhausting hikes. I love riding with people who push me to be a better rider, working for DHR is more than just weekend trips to the mountains; you meet so many life long friends. I am driven by all aspects of outdoor adventure

Krista Klemick aka Amsterdam

Krista has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!

Krista has been skiing for the past 12 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden, B.C.

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!

Laureta Boychuk aka Bugg

Laureta has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Laureta has been skiing and snowboarding for the past 6 years... her favorite mountain is Big White in Kelowna, B.C.

Laureta is an outgoing, adventurous and spunky gal. If she's not snowboarding down the mountain in the winter it’s probably because she took her skis. Where there’s snow she will go. In the summer she fills her time with mountain biking, triathlons, wakeboarding and running. Her main goal in life is to travel the world with her snowboard! Motto: Extreme isn’t a mood it’s a lifestyle!

Laureta has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Luke Woch

Luke has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Luke has been snowboarding for the past 7 years... his favorite mountain is Revelstoke in B.C.

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 Petrin

Marcel has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!

Marcel has been skiing for the past 23 years... his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

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.

Matt Slobod aka Bam Bam

Matt has been with Downhill Riders since 1992!

Matt has been skiing for the past 40 years... his favorite Mountain is Whitefish Mountain in Montana!

Matt is closing in on 2 decades of tour-guiding experience and still loves it! A sports-minded guy, Matt spends his winters skiing, and playing and reffing hockey. Summers that used to be lived on the rugby ptich have been replaced in recent years by more leisurely pursuits, like golf. Matt has an excellent memory for names and enjoys getting to know everyone on his tours, because it is the people that keep it fresh for him. Don't let Matt's next goal in life - to teach his grandson to ski - fool you. This guy's motto is still "go hard or go home."

Michael Grand aka Marnier

Mike has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!'

Michael has been skiing for the past 29 years... his favorite mountain is Red Mountain in Rosslyn B.C.

Michael Grand “Marnier” has been on his thunder sticks since the ripe age of 3, and first started guiding trips in 2000. He rides anywhere and everywhere, and will pretty much find his kicks with whatever the mountain gives him. From powder to groomers; from bumps to the park; from Jasper to Mount Washington, and everything in-between; bring it all on!! Then bring on a few bevie’s in the hot tub, now that’s good bus trippin! He preaches that there is fun to be had on every corner of every mountain and is a strong believer that the “guide tax” applies to not only personal items, but personal space. His favorite mountain is the one with snow on it, and his favorite skiers in the world are Jesus......and Mad Dog.

Mike Adams

Mike is new this season with Downhill Riders

Mike has been skiing for the past 22 years... his favorite mountain is Panorama in Invermere, B.C.

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).

Rezwan Chowdhury aka Chow Down

Rez has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Although my nickname is Chow Down, somehow being the token brown guy on the crew, by the time the bus gets down to Red Deer, I'm affectionately known as Kumar. I'm a Resident Physician by day, but my real passion is skiing - and there's no better way than going on a DHR trip with me and the rest of the crew. I keep it real by being one of only a few guides who still know how to two-plank, resisting the seduction of the dark side; i.e. snowboarding. You'll recognize me on your next trip as the guy who flies by on the ski hill without turning - or the guy who is proud and happy to be drinking a pink, bright, girly drink with a large umbrella apres ski.

Ryan Knox aka Knoxy

Ryan has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Ryan has been snowboarding for the past 8 years... his favorite Mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

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!

Ryan McPhee

Ryan has been with Downhill Riders since 2009!

Ryan has been snowboarding for the past 7 years.. his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

Ryan. Gentleman. Adventurer. Professional by day, he suppresses his wolf-man party urges behind a desk from 8 till 5...but after dark...look out. He enjoys all things mountain. Hiking to snowboard the deep pow in the winter, and retracing his steps on the same mountain on his bike in the summer.  He also indulges/enjoy's/recommends the following activities: Road trips (especially bus related), live music, singing "wheels on the bus", traveling abroad, snuggling near the fire with a good pizza, DJ-ing, dance parties, late night cook offs, deep deep powder, jagermeister, long heart felt chats, hot tubs, candy, mountains, hot chocolate in ski chalets (with baileys), camping, funny glasses and loud hi-5's. His goal when on a DHR trip is to plaster you with fun! And what makes the job easy is you will be mountain bound! Spreading fun is fun. Give it a try.

Stephanie Kawulych

Stephanie is new this season with Downhill Riders.

Stephanie has been skiing for the past 7 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse Resort in Golden, B.C.

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

Trevor Ross aka Dr. Tree

Trevor has been with Downhill Riders since 2005!

Trevor has been snowboarding for the past 7 years... his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden. B.C.

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 Suer - Sexkitty

Trevor has been with Downhill Riders since 1999!

Trevor has been skiing for the past 15 years.. his favorite mountain is Kicking Horse in Golden B.C.

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)!

Trisha Harrison

Trisha has been with Downhill Riders since 2007!

Trisha has been skiing for the past 28 years... her favorite mountain is Kicking Horse!

I don't know what to say about myself, I am married and a mom of a 16 year old that cannot wait to be old enough to go on the bus tours (help me...lol) I work in IT during the day, at night I ref dodgeball. I really love the people that I get to meet on the tours and have alot of fun. Last year I was on the bench waiting for knee surgery. I finally get to go in on Nov 26th but I will still be on the buses even if I can't ski cause I don't want to miss all the fun for another season.
