The last decade and a half of my life has been consumed with all things snow; no matter if I’m broke in Chamonix or working to the wee hours of the morning in Whistler, somehow I'm still checking the snow reports, waxing my board, and fueling my snowmobile. After penning many interviews of snowboarders, a million abstract pieces of random thoughts, tales, and laughter will be stored in the back of my brain, never to be seen in print. As for road-trips? I'll never forget laughing so hard it hurt outside of grandma's house on the outskirts of South Lake Tahoe or what it felt like to fly into the Queen Charlottes to watch a good friend, ditch her snowboard for a day, and get down to some aboriginal beats with her Haida relatives. That is what snowboarding is to me: a lifestyle. I can't wait for the next adventure.
