2012 ended with a bang up on Signal Mountain in Jasper National Park. Having Dave MacDowell, Tracy and Keri join me for a dark ski/snowshoe was the perfect way to end another great year. Dave use to manage the local bike shop (Freewheel Cycle) in Jasper and was my first ever sponsor/supporter as he hooked me up with bikes Via Dik @ Kona bicycles to help train for Hockey during the summer months. 
Dave now manages TNF outlet stores with Cam Wilson in Jasper, Banff, Kelowna and Red Deer under the name Wild Mountain. It’s always special to come back home and spend time with friends like Dave who have spent a good portion of there lives unselfishlyy helping others follow there dreams. Role Model are the words that come to mind.
