Snowboarding is my first love. I am a flatlander (SoCal) but I ride a fair amount. I have 10 days in this season and thats with skipping the insane crowds of the holiday period. My son is 11 and has gotten heavy into riding and is starting to get fast, powerful, and confident. He's my main riding buddy and its awesome.
I am estimating out 30 days this year. I am going to Colorado Saturday, Tahoe in February, Mammoth in February, Mammoth in March, China Peak in March, plus local riding. I've got one Mammoth trip done this year so far and another was canceled because of SAH order.
I am 44 now so most of my riding is All-Mountain freestyle esque and all-mountain charging.
I still love jibs and the park, but I am really into hips, sidehits, and stuff that I can do cool shit on that does not require spinning. It starts to suck at my advanced age and I am not Chad Otterstrom.
