Canadians have a peculiar way about them... in a good way. Little idiosyncrasies that make them uniquely, well, Canadian. In the world of Candian snowboarding, Whistler is ground zero. No where else will you find more colorful examples of the spectrum of people that make up this country's riding population.

At last week's Grenade Games I had the chance to grab a few words from various individuals in attendance. And though they're not all Canadian, the collective voice garnered provides a snapshot of how special a place Whistler is, and with that, Canada--especially when the Grenade crew is in town.

Totino's Field Notes

Totino's Field Notes - Road to the 2010 US Open of Snowboarding. It's been an interesting year for Totino's team riders Danny Davis and Mason Aguirre. After starting strong in the Fall and early season, with great contest results at the Totino's Open in Breckenridge, both riders suffered injuries. Danny is out for the year, but Mason recently came back and plans to throw down at next week's US Open of Snowboarding in Stratton, VT.
