In a world where nothing is certain, there is one thing I have learned to count on over the years.. A ski day at my home hill of Whitewater in Nelson BC is sure to be sweetened by a sighting of local skier Mary Woodward going for a rip on the slopes. Sadly May 31st 2014 marked the end of an era, when Mary Woodward passed away at the age of 80. Her life was celebrated this weekend by the Kootenay community and her family, a tribe of great skiers raised by the Mary who are all pillars of our mountain community.

On June 16th, 2013 I recieved the worst news of my entire life.
My father (Oliver Woodrow Dixon the Third) had passed away in a kayaking accident…
On Father’s Day.
I felt like the best way to honor his memory would be to not only continue doing the things I love but get my shit in gear and finally put out a full part. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was in elementary school.
Snowboarding and adventuring with my father has been the most fullfilling and important thing I’ve done in my life thus far and I’d like to think I make him proud. -Oliver Woodrow Dixon the Fourth
