Video: Jay Boysen - Coastal Winter

by Fault Line TV  
An "Arctic Outflow Warning" was recently issued for coastal British Columbia. Which coincidentally left sunny skies over Howe Sound for a few days, giving ample opportunity to catch the ferry to Bowen Island and shoot some dry and dusty trails.

This is not the first time I've met Jay at the ferry and proceeded to spend a day in the woods, but I had not experienced Bowen in such frigid conditions. Jay took us to some new zones he had spent time building over the last year. The hard work he puts into the trails he builds shows, and being an avid cyclist myself it was hard standing on the sidelines of the action. At least I had long time friend and photographer Keegan Pearson along for the chilly day ahead.

 here we get snow sometimes. Not this winter though, was out 5 hrs today building and ripping it. A good bike winter, not so nice though for skiing and boarding I'm afraid, no snow here. both Smile & Frown i guess.

Nice pics. is it the gulf stream there in BC that makes it warmer i guess?

 It was good to see some long shots rather than a 0.1s shot of a rear tyre for a change.

 right at the coast the weather is such that we see very little snow (if any). the elevation is perfect just enough change to get great lines but not so high as to contend with the white stuff. they are even building a bike park that will be open all year with plans of a lift, because of these conditions.

 Bowen Island. From Vancouver, it's a 20 minute drive and then a 20 minute ferry. Pretty close! Thanks for watching. -ep
