This past weekend the second stop of the Orage Pros & Powder Tour set it off at Mount Seymour, British Columbia. Seymour was a great venue for the tour, offering fun times, fantastic views, and the convenience of being minutes from North Vancouver. The event itself was a well-organized affair, with three appointed times during the day in which registered guests could ski with their immortal titan of choice, for a session of approximately one hour.

Oh yeah, don’t come to Whistler, the snow sucks.

Video will be on it's way soon from the aformentioned Neil and the Orage crew. Keep checking back for updates here and on the mini-site. Next stop is set for January 6, 2007 at Winter Park, Colorado. Hope to see you there!

Registration for riding with the crew and a chance to win a cat-skiing trip to Retallack with the Orage Team. Don't forget your free shirts and stickers.

With the cat-skiing trip on the line everyone was taking the sign up seriously.

Seymour's mini-jib park was home to some equally mini sessions. You may remember some of these features from such park updates as High North Ski Camp.

Layering was the key to surviving the dangers of inconsistant west coast weather.

TJ & Schmuck feeling the happy vibes.

For those of you scared off by the photo posted for the last tour stop at Sunshine Village, this is what Michelle Parker actually looks like.

The main park was still under construction but Dash was one of the few with enough speed to hit the step up.

TJ opts for the hip side of the step up for his 180.

More custom clothing created for the day.

Dash pops out of the trees for a late 1 into some fresh.

This little cliff band was home to some mini-mini-golf lines and was also the place where Mr. Schmuck earned his props for epically sending it through a gap in the trees on the left.

We provided the talent as well as the cheering section on this 180. No need for cat calls from the lift, we were all over it.

Not exactly sure what people are doing in this photo, but they're doing it for free stuff.

Beautiful view from the top of Mount Seymour

Until next time everyone... hope to see you there.
