E-Stone | The Bomb Hole Episode 100

March 30, 2022

This is a Bomb Hole Special as we have officially recorded our 100th episode! Because it’s such a big milestone for us, we decided that who better to have as a guest than our co-host Ethan “E-Stone” Fortier. Long before he was Stoney Budz, Ethan was a pro snowboarder, ripping through Summit County in the mid-90s with legends like J2, Tarquin Robbins, Ali Goulet, MFM, and many more. It was then that he co-founded one of the most revolutionary snowboard brands of all-time, TECHNINE. Launching with bindings and eventually putting out boards and outerwear, Budz relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah and started shooting photos for the brand. It was in the photography space that Stoney started his second career in snowboarding as he quickly became one of the best lensmen in the business. He was so successful that Snowboarder Magazine picked him up as a Senior Photographer in the early 2000’s, a position he remained in until 2020. At SNOWBOARDER, E-Stone became one of the most published photogs in the game and while balancing the ins and outs of the Technine brand, he was widely-regarded as one of the hardest-working people in the industry. In 2020, Stoney teamed up with Grendiesel to start The Bombhole, and through this channel, his third career in the snowboard industry has officially kicked off, so kick back, relax, and watch Stoney do his thing as he tells his entire story start-to-finish. But he ain’t finished yet.
