Sounds of summer snowboarding


I am down in Oregon right now training at Mt. Hood and it is the best. Summer is my favorite time of year to be snowboarding, all the fun without the cold. Mt. Hood is a sweet little set up. We ride at Timberline resort which is open from November to September every year and makes it the longest open resort in North America.

Training has been going great, a lot of hiking the half pipe but hard work is to be expected when there are only five months left of qualifying. I have been working closely with the best coaches in Canada and the States to put together some great contest runs and to boost my snowboarding skills in general.

Today was especially fun because I was able to put together a photo shoot with Alex Nun, a well known photographer in the snowboarding industry. We were shooting the new Sony cordless MP3 player/headphones. This is a hot new unit everyone should check out at http://www.sonystyle.ca/ . It’s a great way to move without the hassle of wires getting in the way and since the player is in the headphones the sound clarity is amazing. I love them in the gym, but this was the first time I was able to try them on the mountain.
I will have pictures from Alex in two and share them with you on my website and here at my blog. It was defiantly proven that life is better without strings attached.

Tomorrow I look forward to another day in the sun and on the snow!!
