    PARK WIZARD. There's a 100% chance that if you've spent any time in a snowboard park anywhere on Earth over the last 15–20 years, you've seen or ridden with Bryan, doing combos that make absolutely no sense to anyone, wearing the loudest kit of all time, and unapologetically being Bryan 24/ 7.

    Pascal Gallant

    Pascal Gallant is a true legend behind the lens. Starting out snowboarding, skateboarding and biking in the mid '80s, Pascal was filming some of the best snowboarders in the world by the mid 90s. His career has crossed paths with some of snowboarding's most influential film crews, including Mack Dawg Productions, Absinthe Films and many more. Alongside his brother, the late, great Martin Gallant, Pascal also started The Gathering Collective, creating a platform for the underdogs of snowboarding and giving riders an opportunity to be seen. Decades later, Pascal is still behind the camera, still filming the best in the world and still contributing to snowboarding in a way that's impossible to measure. We sat down to talk about his early days, a lifetime behind the lens, The Gathering, Mackdawg, his brother Martin and the stories from a career spent documenting snowboarding history.  Enjoy!  Presented by Monster Enegry Supported by Arc'teryx, Baldface Lodge, Source Snow & Skate Shop, Gibbons Whistler

    Mason "JAR" Lemery

    Mason "Jar" Lemery is one of the most exciting riders to come up in snowboarding right now. A Vermont kid who made the move out west, Mason blew up in 2024 with a breakout season that earned him Slush Magazine's Rookie of the Year, capped off by his part in Brown Cinema's Knights of the Brown Table. Homie has zero hesitation, he's a beast. Nephew of the legendary Jake Blauvelt, Mason's spent time in the mountains with some of the best to ever do it, from John Jackson to Ben Ferguson and more. These opportunities present themselves to Mason because he's a SOLID guy and someone who truly loves the adventure of life. Whether he's sending it in the backcountry or lapping the park, he rides with an energy you can't fake. Big fan. Enjoy!

    Olympian. Professional snowboarder. Doctor of Chinese medicine. This week on Air Time, we sit down with Dom Vallée, whose journey has taken her from World Cup snowboard cross tracks and the Olympic Games to opening her own health and wellness clinic in Whistler. After losing her mother to cancer, Dom found a new purpose in helping others live healthier lives. Through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, she's built a practice focused on keeping people moving, recovering, and doing what they love for as long as possible. We talk about her years as a professional snowboarder, competing on the world's biggest stage, navigating life after sport, overcoming personal challenges, and the lessons she's learned along the way. Whether you're into snowboarding, health and wellness, injury recovery, performance, or simply hearing stories of people who have reinvented themselves, there's a lot to take away from this one.

    Brock Nielsen

    Brock is one of snowboarding's hidden gems, posted up behind the lens. Quiet, observant and constantly digesting the world through a camera, you can feel that raw authenticity in everything he creates. From getting thrown into the mix with legends like Nate Bozung and Matty Ryan during the iconic BOZWRECK era, Brock helped document a true cult classic chapter of snowboard filmmaking. He captured and brought to life a side of snowboarding that was often overlooked by the mainstream. Names like Bradshaw, Bennee, Deadlung and Keegan are just a few of the legends he filmed during the prime of their careers. Over the years, Brock has continued to build a style that feels timeless, he has the ability to make moments feel real, not staged or forced. The last Brown Cinema film - Knights Of The Brown Table says it all. From Absinthe Films, Adidas, Torment Magazine, The North Face, SIMS and beyond riders, brands and snowboarding as a hole are grateful to have him in the mix. So what's next for Brock? Tune in. Thanks for coming on the show!  Presented by Monster Enegery  Supported by Vans, Arc'teryx, The Source, Gibbons Whistler, Baldface Lodge
