An Introduction: It’s Andrew!

Hey Guys and Girls,

I’m Andrew Santos, I’ve been both a snowboarder and videographer for over three years. I live in Burnaby and I’m attending Burnaby Central Secondary School. I’m currently living in my parents basement, but that’s okay because I’m 16 years old. Any day I get to ride is a good day for me and if I’m not at school, you can usually find me on the slopes. With a handful of new camera gear, I will be giving you guys the full update on what’s going on this season. I have no doubts in my mind that this is going to be killer year and I’m so stoked to be one of your Grousepark bloggers for this season. If you see me on the mountain feel free to give me a shout, I’ll be the guy with the purple Grenade jacket and I’ll usually have some sort of camera in my hands. I’m Andrew Santos, that’s a little about me and I’m looking forward to seeing you guys on the slopes.

Later!

On the topic of blogging, I thought I might start a regular feature highlighting some notable bloggers in the snow sports industry (or, rather, who write about snow sports, no matter what their day job).

One of my favourites is VanCityAllie, partly because she’s local, but partly because her life stories are just super entertaining. Plus, she takes great photos, which make all the difference on a blog.

I’m impressed with what she’s experienced and accomplished at such a young age:

This the blog of a 24 year-old Vancouver girl who loves and writes about everything “Vancouver” and West Coast. This is the blog of a girl who works in Vancouver’s video game industry, it’s also a surfing blog, snowboarding blog, Canucks blog, gadget blog, and photography blog.

You can check out all of Allie’s snowboarding content or have a look at specifics like her 2008/09 Snowboard Preview or her business trip to Japan, which included a visit to the Tokyo Burton store.
