Known for his fearless, skate-inspired riding style, Bjorn Leines is a living legend in the snowboard world, having graced the covers of snowboard magazines since their inception, and winning the coveted title, Rider of the Year. Whether he’s deep in the Wasatch backcountry sending massive cliffs, or ripping spines in AK, Bjorn has inspired riders around the world for over two decades.

Born and Raised in Whistler. Brin learned about the mountains from his parents, both Whistler Blackcomb Ski patrollers. Brin works as a literal stuntman in the off season, and that should tell you everything you need to know about his skill. Every snowboarder is a product of their own environment. And with Brin Alexander, Whistler has created a shredder who can stomp pillow lines and throw Wildcats in the middle of spine walls.
Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Coast Mountain Range, just 20 minutes south of Whistler and 1.5 hours north of Vancouver lies The Callaghan Valley - or what the locals consider a hidden gem. During the winter months, this breathtaking valley transforms into a snow-covered paradise: explore around 40 kilometers of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, as well as thousands of hectares of backcountry terrain. Soak in the serene beauty of the alpine wilderness, and for the ultimate winter retreat, stay at Journeyman Lodge. With cozy accommodations, hearty meals, and access to pristine trails, it’s the perfect base for an unforgettable mountain getaway.
