Desperate for Snow
Posted by sainteterre on January 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment
This video of smashed together clips documents some solo riding I did over the holiday break. The snow was scant and the resorts were chocked full of hyper tourists and anxious locals, so I drove out to Guanella Pass and found a tree that had released its roots after a gnarly windstorm. With about 6 inches of sugar snow on the ground, I worked an entire day to build a little kicker over the tree. The following week my wife and I drove up to Squaw Pass. She snowshoed while I rode through some trees and thoroughly destroyed my board’s base. It’s been a season of desperation, both in trying to find people to ride with who will ride shitty snow and be happy about it and in trying to be patient and wait for some good snow and low avy threats.
Nevertheless, with little time and inappropriate technology to really edit anything, this little mashup will suffice to show you how nuts I really am. Cheers.
