I got the Ikon Local Pass for 20/21 seeing as this activity is one of the few that are still permitted in Washington State. This year has been a rough one on all people. Getting out and shredding still provides a nice release from the forced isolation of COVID induced mania. I made my trekContinue reading “Covid Season 20/21”

2020 has been a year of surprises. A year I’ve dedicated to growth in spirituality. A year dedicated to taking life as it comes and living in the present. A year of discovery making new and more meaningful connections to that which matters most: beings. In my 36th year of life I’m starting to seeContinue reading “Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost”

My 20th time up for the season was on the least exciting hill but one of the most epic experiences. Camelback Mountain Resort in the Poconos of Pennsylvania is far from the amazing terrain you’ll find at Crystal Mountain in Washington, or Whistler up in BC. However, riding with my brothers still remains the mostContinue reading “Bros in the Poconos”

The annual family winter trip commenced for the third year.  This year we were missing a couple of the homies, but the stoke, good times, and laughs were in heavy supply.  Like last year, we again were blessed with a bountiful harvest of fluffy dry white goodness throughout the weekend leading to some all timeContinue reading “Family Shreds 2020”

Spent another Super Bowl Sunday shredding like last year.  It was a Blue Bird at the Summit, my local resort.  However, the mountain was packed which was not what I expected.  Parking was quite tedious and the hill was filled with groms… I got a late start as I drove directly from church to theContinue reading “Super Bowl Sunday at the Summit”

Winter has been pretty short-lived here in the Pacific Northwest.  Sporadic winter weather has peppered my local mountains with snow seeming to only appear at my most inopportune times.  With that said, I’ve managed to get 11 days up so far this season.  As February starts, I’ll do my best to fill the calendar inContinue reading “Crystal Mountain Sesh”

Finally in the third week of January, the Pacific Northwest got a significant snow event which provided over 6 feet of snow in the mountains.  This allowed all of our mountain resorts to open completely providing deep coverage over early season hazards.   I got out to my local resort for the first time allContinue reading “Night Sesh at The Summit”

The season has finally arrived. The snow has been elusive so far this season. Though there were pockets in the Rockies, Lake Tahoe, and elsewhere that got some epic early season snow.  Unfortunately, the Pacific Northwest has been too warm to keep that white blanket on the hills at the Washington Resorts.  Despite all that,Continue reading “2019/2020 Season Start at Northstar”

After 28 Days on the hill at 11 different resorts,  I can say it’s been another great year of shredding.   I’ll likely get up a couple more times before the seasons over but I can say with surety, this season, I’ve gotten my fill. I’ve purchased my unrestricted IKON pass for the 2019/20 season toContinue reading “Spring Laps at The Summit”

The Burton US Open was one for the books.  This was no doubt one of the highlights of my snowboarding experiences to date.  Vail is one the largest resorts I’ve ridden.  Endless terrain for all different skill levels with enough in the back bowls to keep even the hardest chargers from ever getting bored.  It’s alsoContinue reading “BURTON US OPEN 2019”

Big Bro started a good thing. Bringing the family together on the West Coast for some real shredding started last year when big bro took on snow boarding along with the nephews.  It’s the second year of a great tradition that will shape many more memorable times with the fam.  Sharing good laughs, good vibes,Continue reading “Fam West Coast Shred Sesh 2019”

Two of the best in the Bozeman area.  Started using my Bataleon Enemy for steeper and deeper.  It was all working great till I snapped my nose charging hard in a powder field.  Cost of doing business I guess… RIP It was great catching up with old friends, and making new ones. Riding with aContinue reading “Montana Big Sky, Bridger”
