Nic Sauve hails from the cold and immensely talented region of Quebec City.

He is a gifted snowboarder and his riding speaks for it self. What I'm most impressed with about him is his determination, his creativity and his ability to do pretty much anything he sets his mind to. His mind is his biggest asset. When I met him for the first time on my first trip of the season, I knew we would be friends. I just knew it. Since then, we have had some pretty epic days out in the streets of Quebec and Oslo as well as epic pow days in the backcountry of Montana. On down days when other riders have there face stuck to the computer looking at porn or youtube garbage, he is practicing his guitar, reading an astronomy book or watching Planet Earth because he is fascinated with the intricacies of life itself. I admire that.

He's not a nerd, he just gives a shit. I'm claiming he's the next big thing and his part in Forum's new movie "Forever" this season will stand as the proof.
