Dendrite Studios visits

A couple weeks back we had the pleasure of hosting a group of guys from Dendrite Studios, local BC boys who call the West Coast home. Last year they put out their first film 'Out of the Shadows' and received rave reviews and took home Best Big Mountain Film at the 2010 IF3. We were stoked to have them come out and ski some of our Big Mountain lines here at TLH and that's exactly what they did!

Check out the quick re-cap on the ESPN Freeksiing website and watch for the webisode to come out this May, 2011.

Here's the trailer to 'Out of the Shadows' for the full film visit the Dendrite Studios online shop.

Gold Medal review!


We recently had the pleasure of having BC born Gold Medalist, Maelle Ricker, stay and snowboard with us here at TLH!

For those of you that don't know, Maelle Ricker won Gold at the recent 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver in the snowboard cross event and besides being an amazing snowboarder she's one of the nicest and most down to earth people you'll meet!

Check out what Maelle had to say about her trip with us...

Hi everyone at Tyax,

My experience this past weekend at Tyax Lodge will be remembered for eternity. The conditions were unbelievable, the atmosphere at the lodge was amazing, the food was delicious, and all of the staff made our group feel extremely welcome. I can’t say enough good things about my stay, and still have to pinch myself to actually believe it wasn’t a dream. Thank you a million times over for the hospitality. It was a refreshing trip to one of my favorite places. I can’t wait to come up for a visit again someday!
