The Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival kicked off a new contest this year where 6 production crews were picked to compete against each other to win $15,000 cash for best video. Even though Family Tree did not win, we still feel like winners with this video and its success.

Shad swings by Whistler during the World Ski and Snowboard Festival to drop some new songs off his upcoming album titled "TSOL" on Black Box Music. I missed his night performance due to a few too many shots of Tequila from a friend that just returned from Mexico. It's rumored that Shad will be back in Whistler early June. See you then!

Finally! Here is the full edit of Color Magazine's Skate and Deploy. The comp was held in underground parking below the Telus Conference Centre in Whistler. You can also find the video among other rad content at www.colormagazine.ca. Filmed and edited by Ryan Kenny.
