How did you find snowboarding? I was always a skier. I found snowboarding because the owner of my local boardshop forced me on one. I skated tons and once I started picking up shifts at the shop as a grom, they weren’t gonna have me selling snowboards and riding skis on the weekend. Raul from Satellite hooked me up with an old board from the tune room and showed me the ropes. Super grateful.

Years snowboarding? Raul gave me that snowboard in 2020. So it’s been 6 years now. Never looked back.
