In my last post, I mentioned that snowboarding—to me—is an art form. But after this trip, snowboarding is no longer the sole focus of our international adventures—the people of Kyrgyzstan taught me that snowboarding and skiing should be basic. They taught me about what I believe is the true spirit of skiing.

Splitboarder Sean Busby doesn't let moss grow under his feet, spending each spring bouncing from one expedition to the next. Lucky for us, he's just launched a new website to document his adventures: Two Sticks and a Board. Here's some snippets and photos from his first post about Kyrgyzstan...

G3 splitboard athlete Sean Busby just checked in from his trip to New Zealand. It's ironic that he's travelling the globe on a quest for year round snow and probably found less snow than what's left in BC's alpine this summer. But it sounds like they're making the most of it. Hopefully he's enjoing the hunt, and don't be fooled by the powder in that image... see those black things in his rooster tail!?

G3 splitboarder Sean Busby has been up to all sorts of unique trips this spring, earning his turns in Newfoundland/Labrador and camping out in an off the grid hut in the Yukon. Here's soem sweet photos from what he described as a "VERY icy and wind torn Newfoundland/Labrador".  "Was hit with very windy (70+ mph) winds for the first few days of the scouting expedition along with very scoured snow after multiple strong rain days followed by freezing temps.  Parks Canada reported multiple feet of loss snowpack."

Sounds gnarly, but the photos make it look pretty cool. Enjoy.
