The Manboys: Snowdance
With the winter not showing up until late January, and abruptly coming to a halt in early March, it was a short season for winter enthusiasts all along the west coast. Sometimes all you need is a little snow dance, and one good month of boarding to keep the soul healthy. The Manboys kept it local, and snowmobiled around the BC backcountry in search of soft landings and flowing lines.
