At eighteen, during his work placement in Penhold near Red Deer (Alberta, Canada), Roy spent his weekends riding along with a friend named Charlie. Charlie often dropped him in Lake Louise—at the home of friends—before continuing his long drive toward British Columbia. Those weekends opened the door to snowboarding with local pros and snowmakers, unexpected kindness, and memories that still echo today.

The title “Black Diamonds” refers to the expert-level slopes. The track blends a subtle reggae pulse into an EDM dance framework, creating warm rhythmic flow against the raw, cold beauty of Lake Louise in winter.

The lyrics trace that true journey:
• riding steep black-diamond terrain
• skating under falling stars
• accidentally striking a friend with a hockey puck
• crashing a wedding in the Chateau Lake Louise
• sharing an unexpected night of warmth with a kind stranger
• facing a sudden white-out storm on the mountain roads
• returning to a cabin where beauty and danger lived side by side

Through it all, the message remains:
“Lake Louise — that winter shaped me. This place changed me.” — Roy
