Tara joins the fun.....

By Brett Butcher

Last week saw more systems drop down from Alaska and pound Lake Tahoe. Tara Dakides and Abe Blair came into town for a few days to get in on the action. We spent three long days out in the backcountry playing in the snow. Kyle Miller and James Brumsfield rounded out the crew. Fun days!!!!

Few things are prettier than a sunrise over Lake Tahoe

Tara stoked to be in Tahoe

Some serious exposure.... Tara ripped this line a new one.

2011 Sessions Outerwear SIA Denver 2010 - EasyLoungin

Sessions Get to Know a Pro!


This weeks question is from Aaron Parker to E-Man Anderson:
Since boarding is all about having a good time with your bro’s, who is your favorite friend or group of friends to snowboard with? Where and why?
Thanks,
Aaron

What’s up Aaron? For me, boardin is just going up the hill and meeting up with whoever is around. It’s good to shred with different people. If I had to pick one or two peeps that where my favs to grind with I’d have to say Brian mcclatchy and Graydon kavanah. Mega high speed laps in the blackcomb park on a sunny spring day with any homies is fo sho what’s up.
Every day I go snowboarding is my best day of snowboarding.... Love it like your own mother.
