My visit to the northwest timed perfectly with a sunday funday at Stevens Pass to help close out their 09-10 season.  I woke up bright and early to meet up with my friends Anj and Niko in Seattle at 7:30am with just enough time to get coffee for the drive.  The skies remained blue all [...]

Every time I visit Seattle, a trip to Stevens Pass is always in the cards to get in some much needed snowboarding time.  It’s my old stomping grounds & place of employment before I moved to Colorado so it always holds a place close to my heart.  I woke up this morning in Seattle and [...]

I grew up in the pacific northwest so no matter where I move around the country, home is always Seattle, Washington.  So I’ll be heading to Seattle this weekend to spend time with family, visit friends and for shredding. I’ll be visiting a couple snowboard companies while in Seattle, borrowing board/bindings from C3 (thank you [...]

The last and final day of shredding at Stevens Pass for Board Insiders.  3 days of riding, 3 boards a day and a total of 9 reviews of 2009-2010 boards.   The experience was amazing, riding my old mountain and riding with people from all different levels, experiences and styles.   It’s been snowing non-stop [...]

I’m still on Colorado time, which means I go to bed early and I wake up early for Washington. I’ve been lucky to stay in Skykomish, just down the road from where Johan has a cabin and I could poach his kids Skull Mountain Terrain Park but the WA snow is definitely pushing my riding [...]

The big reason I came out to Washington was to come join the Board Insiders team for reviewing some boards.  Board Insiders is a new website coming out that features board reviews and videos of each board by riders you get to know.  I joined in a couple months ago and at SIA met the [...]

So far I’ve been really lucky in Washington.  Since I don’t have a vehicle that can handle snow while I’m in town I’ve been really good at carpooling and hitching rides.  I’m going green in Washington.   I talked to Gorio from evo and the original plan was to ride Sunday, waking up at 7am. [...]

Normally I try not to leave town during the month of December but this year I have a family event to attend so I am flying out of Steamboat to head back to Seattle. I’ll be flying back on Thursday and had planned to ride Stevens on Friday but they haven’t been as fortunate with [...]

I’m 31 years old, and I moved our West only 3 years ago to live in the mountains. I’m passionate about my life, [...]

Since I started snowboarding, I have tried my best to hold onto the season passes I’ve aquired over the years. They now hang in my truck showing off my collection but I decided it would be a good idea to scan them and have them on my computer before they fade away completely. My first [...]
