There is just something special about skiing up north. The skiers up there take nothing for granted, every day of sunshine is a big deal, as they are few and far between. Trent Finlayson just finished up his northern leg of clinics, and as usual the hospitality, the skiing and the beer was epic. From Montana to Calgary, from Vancouver to Prince George, locals were hitting turns and showing Trent all the local spots (read:Earls.) "These trips are the highlight of my entire season. The level of skiing up here is ridiculous. But what is most inspiring is how rugged these guys and girls are. Rain, cold, whatever, they are getting so after it. Skiing is such a lifestyle here. They hit turns all day, then get together and hit the local pubs, restaurants, or backyard firepits and relive the day together. The scene is just so cool, they love it here more than anywhere I have ever been. Big thanks to Dan and Sue Velcic, Corey Walters, Rob Larandeau, Bill (thanks for the margarita sessions) and Geisla (sorry for the spelling) Mctavish, Kristi Nelson, and all the people I got to ski with. Cant wait for 09."

Team RadaR, back to our Roots |
When RadaR brand manager, Chris Sullivan decided to put together a team trip, he knew he wanted to kick it old school, and bring the team back to where it all started, Washington state. So, in typical Sully (now promoted to Sullivan) fashion he planned a week-long party, complete with fat whips, monster lips, choppers, chicks and beer. The week was epic as the crew of Chris Rossi, Trent Finlayson, Thomas Moore, Aaron Larkin, and Ian Trapp converged in Seattle. We headed a few hours east of the city to Crescent Bar to rip turns, take some '09 photos, and basically fly the RadaR flag. R&D meetings, product testing, and photos were taken care of, but the real nature of the trip was just to chill and catch up with the crew.
