Check out Some Sessions Jackets at the Snowboarding Buyers Guide
When I was grom the thoughts of riding around with a bunch of pros would have seemed beyond the realm of possibility. Heck, as a adult (kind of) it seems fun. Well the good people at Sessions set out to stoke some groms and adults alike when they set up the Shred With The Sessions Team at Northstar this past weekend. Anyone could sign up and cruise around on of the best parks in the US with Tara Dakides, Ian Thorley, Andreas Gidlund, Kyle Miller, Brett Butcher, Taylor Carlton, Nial Romanek and skiers Matt Walker and Andy Mahre and more. They had it set up so Saturday and Sunday in the morning the novice to intermediate shredders went out and in the pm it was the advanced rippers. I only managed to get there for one session; the afternoon session on Sunday and the level of riding and stoke was overall very high. Free snacks too, oh and it was all free, except for the lift ticket. It was really cool to see all the kids and even 12 year olds and their dads riding around with the Sessions pros up on the hill. Thanks to the Sessions crew and Northstar for stoking everyone out.

One of the more influential snowboarders of all time – Tara Dakides, rode for Sessions early in her career and rides for them again

Chas Guldemond does not ride for Sessions but he was there and he was crushing the park, maybe we can call him a Sessions Bro for the purpose of these photos
