PHOTOGRAPHER: JEFF CURLEY!!!!

Snipers! Johan O and Nate D

I really don’t know where to begin with this one. I am basically on the verge of ripping all of my hair out–screaming wild stoked!

We are up here at Chatter Creek Lodge, deep in the bush of BC putting together something special for ya... and Holly Hanna is it deep! The Arctic Weasel, Golden Boy Justin Baun, Aaron Hanlon (huffs paint), point and clicker Jeff Curley, along with this OTHER dude showed up yesterday with an uncertain certainty that this was going to be one of those trips that will probably ruin the rest of your life because you will end up living the rest of it trying to top it. By the looks of it we were right. My friends, I'm not afraid to tell it's hot and heavy; what is happening, as we speak, is one of the best things to happen to snowboarding in a very, very long time. This OTHER guy I speak of is none other than Johan Olofsson. After a calculated evaluation back in home in the Land That God Forgot deep in the nordic wasteland, he’s back to do what only he can. From the early days as a Scando pipe snaper to his devastating lines in AK as a not yet fully matured man, Johan O. is nothing more than a legend in the sport of snowboarding. If you don’t know what I’m taking about I am sad for your life.

So what better place to get to know the man and his ways than in about four feet of untaped powder at one of the most amazing heli/cat operations on the continent–CHATTER CREEK!. It's WAY too good and I'm WAY too f*cking pumped right now to try and explain this experience.. so for now it’s time to get good jealous.

Oh, and Johan noboards these days, if you don't know what that is, again, I am sad for your life.

Johan Olofsson

His name is Johan.

J O H A N ! NECK DEEP!!!!
