Best Snowboarding Memory? WOW....So many memories. I would say the main and most amazing would be a first descent this year in the Chugach with 4 snowboarding guests from Colorado. I have been spotting this couloir for 3 years and was finally granted with the perfect conditions. The best part was the stoke of the group. It wouldn’t have been the same if I was all alone.
Why Venture? Handmade snowboards that can truly take a beating. Whether it’s a narrow steep couloir or an exposed icy ridgeline, the performance is incredible. For someone who needs a burly board that holds up to mountaineering boots and lots of rocks, Venture is my goto. I love the graphics, simple and relevant. Plus, the people making the boards are fantabulous people that I love supporting and representing.
