THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL

Well, I just picked up a snowboard video "THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL". It's put out by Quiksilver, it features Travis Rice with a few other big names in the snowboard backcountry scene. Terje Haakonsen, Nicolis Muller, Scotty Lago and in my opinion the Best Big Mountain Rider in the world - snowboarder or skier- Jeremy Jones. The scenery itself is amazing, from New Zealand to Jackson Hole backcountry to Alaska. There is some big air park stuff, but the backcountry footage is the main theme. It is great to see all the snowmobile access that they do.




That's what gets me jazzed up about the mountains in the winter. When I see the deep powder, I know how tough it can be to get to those remote areas. Plus just the whole sled thing, it is a process from dragging the trailer halfway across the country. The unloading and loading, fueling up every night. The gear you need to be safe and caring all the food and liquid you might need. You are on your own as soon as you leave the trailhead. That's what makes sledboarding such an adventure. The whole remote feeling, about how big the mountains are and how you have to respect nature and it's challenges. Then the snowboarding in the powder and through the trees, that is actually just a part of the whole picture, the end result. The goal, Good Times!!
