All roads lead to snowboarding. With ski resorts in thirty eight of the great U.S. states, from the Alaska to Alabama, maybe not every highway and byway leads to snowboarding but for this group of road hungry vagabonds the routes of the next four months will. From east to west, north to south, everyday will be leading to riding, discovering new resorts, enjoying familiar ones and finding snowboarding everywhere.
Our trusty vessel of exploration, a thirty foot RV, was christened in on its first stop after driving a straight shot from the east coast to Utah and what better way could there be to start off an extensive criss crossing of the country than a serious powder day at one of Utah’s best resorts, Brighton.
We made our way up Big Cotton Wood canyon in great anticipation of the first big snowfall in a few weeks in Utah and when we arrived at the hill gathered a full crew of powder hounds lickin’ their chops to drop into some deep snow. Nick Russell, Alex Sherman, Pouch, Elliot Levitt, Mac Spedale, Ben Farrell, Noah Hausknecht, Neil Provo, Zach Seibert, Johnny Centi and more lapped out all day on Millicent.
After a proper day of turns, slashes, drops, excitement, high fives, hootin’ n hollerin’, etc, all the must – do’s of a powder day, the RV was packed back up and prepped for the journey on 15 South to Las Vegas for the SIA trade show. See you there.
