Back in the saddle again...

La Nina has returned in case you hadn't noticed, and chances are, if you live anywhere in the PNW you have.  With the joy of frozen car doors, icy roads, and west side drivers also come the joys of pow shots, pillows, and general shreddage as well.  Working out the rust on my board legs, as well as my trigger finger, I got to have a killer pow day at Baker with friend and shred professor Chris Bowlin of Northwest Riders and some of his crew; Ian, Ezra and Pat. It didn't take long for hoots to be hollered and rag dolls to be impersonated, in trying to catch up on a months worth of lost turns.  Me and Chris snuck around for some artsy fartsy photo bonding, and then ditched the gear to enjoy the rest of the day with a killer crew.

Here's to La Nina, the one we're sure glad didn't get away..

And on the third day.....

.....My legs were finally shot.

Got to immerse myself in the proverbial prodigal daughter La Nina once more, as she returned from a several week hiatus. (Good word, I know)  Her vacation left her fat, happy and ready to release the beautiful goodness upon Baker's terrain... anyways this President's Day weekend was rad. It was going off at Baker with blower pow, nice drops, and a little kicker sesh to finish  up a weekend with some of the most fun I've ever had snowboarding.
I hope you've found yourself in the mountains lately, figuratively and literally. 

Big ups and mad thank you's to Chris Bowlin, Crystal Cartner, Bart Patitucci and Matt Wainhouse

Ladies Day, Stevens Pass

Who doesn't like ladies? Especially when those ladies have snowboards strapped to their kicks.  (Or snowbikes)  Braving the rain and fog in a classic PNW slushfest, Rome rider and Stevens Pass team rider Megan Middleton led the way for 'Ladies Day' at Stevens Pass February 6, 2011.
