OR Demo at Solitude.  Snow started falling throughout the day to a much needed Solitude Ski Resort.  It has been pretty thin this year to say the least, but snow is coming.  Lots of people were there amping on the Family Tree Boards from Burton.  I actually rode a board bigger than a 48 and liked it.. :-)_

Analog hosted the "Design Unlikley Feature " event up at Bear Mt this weekend.  Sunny weather and a good turnout of rippers to destroy the feature, or themselves.  Mikkel Bang was on hand to be a quest judge , and also to trip people out by his riding skills.  Mikkel was really ripping the park to pieces.  Thanks to all the Bear Mt staff and the design winner Paul Heran who came up with the "Bat Wing"

Walking down to Trestles 

Had a great day with Jussi here in California.  Jussi just got on Active and they wanted to do a Day in the Life video.  We went Snowboarding at Mt High in the morning , then went to the Active HQ and skateboarded and had some Mexi food,  then finished up the day with a Surf at Upper Trestles.  Pretty much a perfect day in Cali.

Burton Global Sales Meeting

Burton Sales Meeting in Alberg Austria.  Flew into Zurich and took the train to Alberg.  When we arrived there wasn't any snow, i mean just grass showing on the mountains.  The Meetings went well and the new 2013 Burton lineup is looking amazing that's for sure.  The Second day we were there it started snowing and we ended up getting like 3 feet easily and the Mountain opened up.  It was a really fun day riding Powder there on the Root 48.  That Board freaks me out every time i ride it,  I've been waiting for it to fail on me, but it hasn't yet.   Maybe it will when i take it up to AK in April.
Jake should be pretty proud of the group that was there representing the Burton Brands from around the Globe.    Good People.

First day up at Bear Mt this year.  This is where i started snowboarding in 1990 and while it has changed over the years, it still remains the best skatepark on the snow ever.  Its incredible what they do with limited snow and limited terrain.  It is so fun to snowboard there.

Loveland Pass demo 2011

Had two great days at the on-snow demo at Loveland Pass Colorado. It was pretty cold for this California kid, but it was great to be on snow with good people and having fun.  I even got to see my good buddy DCP,  Miss seeing that guy on snow for sure.  Looking forward to a good winter.

Mammoth opening weekend

Mammoth opening weekend with my family.   We came up to do a Kids photoshoot with Gabe ( Burton Photographer. )  It is amazing to be able to ride with my family.  Kids are able to get on the chairlift by themselves, and buckle into their bindings.  The snow was nice and fluffy.  Good way to start the winter.

Winter is coming

Burton Events,, Last Few weeks people here in So Cal are getting ready for winter.  Shops are having some good events to get people stoked on the winter.  But nothing gets people more amped than cold mornings, and snow in the mountains.
