Waterton, Alberta Canada 2017

It’s been two years since I made my first trip to the lands of Waterton and I must say that my second trip might have been better than the first if that is even possible. My brothers always go there every year in August but unfortunately they have to be there just under a week from the same time due to work schedules and family itineraries so it’s always a challenge for me to be able to visit them both but once again I somehow figured out a way and it was definitely worth it.

For those who have never been to Waterton I highly suggest taking the time to make the drive there. You have everything you can possibly imagine with a 15 minute drive one way or another.

If you don’t want to ruin your initial experience I would suggest not watching this video because I jam a lot of hikes and adventures into just one 20 minute video so enjoy or don’t enjoy, the choice is yours!

Another Weekend in Idaho

So a couple of buddies and I decided to head south and try out some last minute skiing in Canada and Idaho at Castle Mountain, AB and Schweitzer Ski Resort near Sand Point, Idaho.  Unfortunately both places had below average snow conditions so we managed to find some other random things to do to make the best of our time while down there.

Watch a couple short videos to see what we found to do:

Keeping Busy

2017 has been a roller coaster like no other so far… It’s been filled with financial stress, loss of loved ones, injury and luckily enough a little bit of adventure in between to somehow find a way to keep on living and enjoying each day the best I can.

It has been a tough couple months for close friends and family who have suffered major losses in their life and I haven’t exactly been there for my friends and family the way I should have been through their tough times which is why it makes it even harder to post joyful life events like these videos now.

But I realized that if I stop sharing the positive moments in my own life then I will never find happiness from all the sadness around me and I too will miss out on life and we need to continue to keep on living life and motivating each other and inspiring each other as best we can no matter what life challenges us with.

To sum up this video I went snowboarding a couple times, hitched a ride with my parents to a family funeral in Revelstoke and made some pitstops along the way at Johnson Canyon and  Moraine Lake at Lake Louise, and I might have even adopted my first ever Betta fish named “Barney”.   He currently owns and operates “Barney’s  Bamboo Beach Bar & Resort”.

Fresh Powder Day On The Mountain

This was my 4th time at Sunshine Village Ski Resort in Banff National Park, Alberta Canada and I will honestly say that it was for sure one of my top 3 best days on the mountain snowboarding. The snow continued to fall all day long while the sun shined off and on all day making the conditions almost perfect for an all around snowboarding experience. I have been using the “Quik” app on my Iphone a lot lately to create an “all in one” compacted video of all of the short recordings I take throughout the day on my adventures. It’s an easy to use app once you learn how to use the basic tools and I highly recommend it to anyone else who likes to share their life stories.

Enjoy the video,

Cheers

Deep Sea Fishing in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

I have been spending a lot of time going through all of my old SD memory cards from my GoPro and camera lately and it has been very liberating to reminisce on all of the adventures and travels I have been on in the past few years. This week I decided to take the time and edit about an hour of deep sea fishing GoPro footage from Puerta Vallarta Mexico with my very own father and my older brother during our stay at the Riu Hotel for my younger brothers wedding.

We started off the day going for Marlin and managed to see one giant marlin jumping into the air over and over but I missed to capture any on video so we spent the second half of the day going for some smaller fish to get our moneys worth and maximize our experience for the day.

Enjoy,

First Time Flying a Drone

Well it’s not the most expensive drone but it’s kind of like buying your first vehicle when you were 16. Don’t buy a good one until you actually learn how to drive properly so consider this Walmart purchased drone my test vehicle.

It’s not an amazing video but it’s just something I felt I should add to the bucket list of things I’ve tried and done.  Try not to fall asleep!

 

Red Rock Canyon Hike, Waterton , Alberta Canada

I’ve been slowly picking away at a ton of GoPro videos I had taken over the past couple years so this video I put together was from two summers ago during the August long weekend in Waterton, Alberta when I met up with my two brothers and their families. This hike was short and sweet but is still something I would consider doing if you end up in Waterton some day. I did this hike with younger brother and I did Crypt Lake hike with my older brother the day after this and it was about 5 hours longer but both were great experiences spent with family. (Crypt Lake Hike video is on this site as well)
