CLOCKWISE FROM TOP Bode doesn’t mind the gaps—50-50 for the 2017 Snowboarder Magazine movie, Pepper . Photo: Ethan “E-Stone” Fortier Bode’s riding is sort of like someone took Scott Stevens’ technical wizardry and multiplied it by Dan Brisse’s appetite for plus-sized features. Here Bode hits a heavy fastplant flip off a wall in Quebec City, QC for Pepper .

Shane Charlebois invited me on a hike with Bode, Keegan Hosefros, Brad Holmes, and Sammy Blaze. We rode down underneath a cliff to a zone where the crew sessioned until the sun shifted. This was a warm-up slash for Bode before he threw down a butter maneuver to air off a big natural roller. We hit two more spots then hiked out as the sun was going down and the mountains were glowing pink.” Photo: Nathanael Asaro 074 THE SNOWBOARDER’S JOURNAL
