Chris Tatsuno
Chris Tatsuno’s dedication to skiing runs a little deeper than the average powder hound. Instead of getting a house in a ski town and buying a season pass, Chris lives in a van (the TatVan) that probably cost him less than his favorite planks—the Blizzard Big Akiras. He is also sponsored by Scott, AspenFreeride.com, Discrete, and Technica. He drives around the country to compete in freeskiing competitions and rip the burliest terrain wherever he goes. After proving his worth in several US Freeskiing Champoinships and taking the coveted Sick Bird award at the Telluride Freeskiing Open, Chris’s new goal is to blend his park-honed skills with the biggest lines on the mountain.
Featured Product
Blizzard Big Akira Alpine Ski w/ FR 16 IQ Binding
| Big Awesome Very Big Akira!! 11-16-07 |
Chris Tatsuno:  |
| As my one-stick quiver ski of choice, the Big Akira packs a punch from the first turn through the last drink at apres. Busting through crud and mank at top speeds, this ski "floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee." I can always count on beating my buddies to the bar after last chair with these flashy sticks; and the samurai graphics are a total chick magnet! BANZAI !!!! |

Scott Team Issue Series 4 Ski Poles
| Mmmm...Lime Green! 11-16-07 |
| Chris Tatsuno: |
| These throwbacks to old-school 80's style bring back memories of my childhood with their fluorescent color scheme and white leather straps. I mean, who doesn't remember the tough-as-nails Scott competition poles as the top freestylers and racers flashed laps under your favorite liftlines? Well...man up, buy these poles, and start rippin' some newschool lines down to the ski bunnies waitin' at the bottom! |

Scott Alias Limited Edition Goggles
| CBGB Bound!!! 11-16-07 |
| Chris Tatsuno: |
| There's few gear accessories out there that allow for the rowdiest of the Rowdesians to get their punk on. Finally, something to match those studded belts and wallet chains with. The Alias Zipper goggs are a great accessory for the fashion forward skiers that are just as likely to be seen droppin' shots of Twhiskey at the bar as they are droppin' rocks. And if gettin' rowdy doesn't come easily for you, just zipper down the straps and let your inner Sid Vicious rock out! |
