Snowboarding has always been about progressing, we’ve come to expect progress from our pro snowboarders to our snowboard equipment but what about ourselves as riders? Each year I realize that I’ve been riding longer than most of the kids in the park have been alive and this year I questioned my progress, was I really [...]

The snow has been falling in Steamboat finally! We’ve received some new snow to help with the lack of snow this season but today with my limited ride time I just headed to the park and convinced Chris to join in. We haven’t been able to ride together in such a long time that I [...]

There are two types of weather days in Steamboat: Dumping powder or bluebird skies. We rarely get overcast and we even more rarely get rain. For some reason today on the slopes was overcast but not snowing on the lower mountain and the snow conditions were dust on crust so not the most fun.

I’ve had an amazing winter so far and today everything felt good, cranked the music, lapped the mountain in the early morning and then was [...]

I’ve been enjoying sundays this year since it’s generally my one day to sleep in before getting up on the slopes. Today was another late start to the mountain but I made it just in time for the afternoon to enjoy the extended spring hours for the chairlifts. Now I can ride till 4:30pm each [...]
