Joe Lax
Joe Lax moved west from Saskatchewan over 25 years ago to ride powder and he’s never looked back. Based in Pemberton, BC, he’s spent decades quietly pioneering serious lines/ technical terrain with a style that reflects deep experience and total commitment to the mountains. Away from the spotlight, Joe brings the same steady focus to his role with BC Wildfire Service as an operations section chief. He stays grounded, driven by a DIY spirit and personal passion rather than ego or acclaim. For Joe, it’s always been about the ride. Enjoy the show!

Torgeir Bergrem
Torgeir Bergrem is a Norwegian snowboard legend. After dominating the contest circuit for years from X Games to Olympics he stepped away from competition and fully committed to backcountry snowboarding.

Torgeir and Monster Energy, dropped a full-length video part, Temple of the Dawg, showcasing his skills across all types of terrain.

Now, with an invite to Natural Selection, Torgeir is standing shoulder to shoulder with the best in the backcountry game.

Victor Daviet
Victor Daviet’s journey goes far beyond filming video parts and chasing deep snow. From helping the Afghan snowboard team escape political unrest to surviving close calls in the backcountry, he’s used his platform to make a real difference. In this episode, we dive into how those near misses inspired him to start Safety Shred Days, his humanitarian efforts, and what it truly means to give back through snowboarding. Whether he's sending backcountry booters or riding a mini-pipe with a smile, Victor brings the same energy, stoke, and heart to everything he does. Truly one of the most inspiring riders out there. You won’t want to miss this one, enjoy. This episode was recorded closer to the passing of three absolute legends: Jeff Keenan, Alex Pashley, and Jason Remple. May they rest in peace. They will forever be missed.

Etienne Gilbert
Etienne was a top ATV in the early 2000s. At the peak of his career after getting the opportunity to film for Mack Dawg a back injury forced him to slowly step away from snowboarding. This episode goes beyond surface-level snowboard talk, diving into the real-life challenges that come with life after being a pro. The conversation touches on addiction, injuries, loss, parenting, fatherhood, trauma, and the power of letting go. Enjoy! This episode discusses sensitive topics including addiction, trauma, and loss. If you’re struggling or in need of support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust or seek help from a mental health professional. You’re not alone, support is out there.
