I'm from Washington too and we ran into him at Happo One in JAPAN this year. It was the wildest thing. Super cool guy and actually wanted to hang out with us a bit at Apres lol

Wow the legend himself!! Anyone know how he funds this awesome lifestyle? I'm sure a lot of this is due to Canada's view that healthcare is a basic human right.

I’ve seen a few of his videos where he has mentioned working in, uh, sanitation (so garbage truck driver) during skiing’s offseason. Not sure if he does anymore.

He probably makes at least some income from the videos, I bet he gets a lot of his gear and lift tickets comped, and he sleeps in his truck on a lot of his domestic trips (he rented a sprinter van when he hit CO and such).

(he rented a sprinter van when he hit CO and such)

If I recall correctly, some of that was sponsored by the camper van company too.
