Bio:
Born in 73'. First skied when I was 10. Then started snowboarding when I was 15, back when snowboarding was getting started. Self taught on a local sled hill that no longer allows snowboards. Rode when I had the money but slowly fell out of it for a few years. Got back into it winter of 98'-99' after riding spring break of 98' at copper mountain. Since then I've made two trips to Summit County, had some luck in Arizona, got to Jackson Hole once, Utah(110" in 10 days), and Alpental most recently. After ten seasons the one thing I tell everyone getting started or looking to improve is save your money a buy good gear. Staying warm and dry are the keys to being comfortable while learning and advancing. Don't let the weather dictate to you but use common sense. This past winter I managed quite well at Mount Bohemia(U.P. Michigan)in single digits temps and 15" of fresh. I wore nothing more than expedition weight base layer with windstopper and a 3-layer Gore hardshell.
Now, I have a 2 year old daredevil that can't wait to get his first board and Pops can't wait either.
