Another solid Analog Event up at Big Bear this past Weekend.  Sun was out and the slushy snow was so much fun.  There were about 60 kids that showed up for the event which was held right down at "the Scene " near the Bar/Deck.  There were tons of people chilling and drinking , checking out the Action and getting their Bronze on.  So many good jibbers in this event,  by far the most talent i've seen at one of these over the last 4 years.  Canadians, Euros, and even a shredder from Russia that made the Finals.  Girls and the under 15 kids were ripping as well.

US Open

US Open at Vail, Colorado.   I've been to many US opens and to be at the Vail Open and see the energy and the progression of snowboarding was awesome.  The Pipe was incredible.  I used to ride in the Open pipe at Stratton and at the time it was the best pipe ever,  but to see the perfection of this 22 foot pipe at vail with not a snowflake out of place was really incredible.  Riding Powder with some awesome people and then getting to stand on the Deck and watch Shaun fly over my head made for an amazing weekend.  Thanks Jake for the Epic event.

Jeffy

Jeff Anderson is burned into my heart.  I started riding with Billy and Jeffy in 1990 when i first started snowboarding.  I was already 21 years old and they were both these little kids just ripping around Mammoth Mt.  We would hit these jumps on the side of the runs and the ski patrol would give us a hard time for "jumping" .   The Raw style of Jeff was something that was like Art.  
This year was the 1st Annual JLA banked event at Mammoth.   Billy Anderson and Jane ( Jeffys mommy ) put on such an amazing event.  150 people showed up to celebrate such an amazing person as Jeff Anderson.  I was very proud to take my boys there and witness the true passion for snowboarding.
