late season MT pow

After one of the worst snowfall season I can remember here in MT mixed with the worst avalanche conditions in 15 plus years or ever winter finally came to Montana the first two weeks of may. We spent about 12 days in the infamous snowboard/snowmobile spot Cooke City for the storms and got a lot of snowboarding in. Started with sketchy avy conditions, but eventually turned into the best snowpack i saw all season if not ever. fun jumps and fun lines. Enjoy some photos thanks to http://www.ryankirkphotography.com/ go check it out. some video will be coming soon.

Perfect end to an epic winter...

By Brett Butcher

During any other year, April 29th in Tahoe would be all about sunny park days, hanging out at the lake and grilling up some steaks. This was not your typical Tahoe April. We got hit with multiple storms and this one dropped 25 inches of the goods. We woke up on Thursday to blue skies, no wind and allot of snow. Kyle Miller, Josh Parker, Nick Visconti, Tim Bradley and myself headed out to ASI and took full advantage of this opportunity.

We like to call this the backyard...

Parker checking out potential lines...

Miller's first run of the day... popping off a spine

Tim Bradley documenting it all...

Nick Visconti executes the best move in boarding...

I was walking along a ridge and found a nice hole. When temperatures warm up cornices start to pull apart creating giant cracks in the snow. If it snows over them it can create a potentially dangerous situation. You cannot see the cracks and if you step in the wrong spot they can eat you alive.

I got lucky... a few more feet to the right and I would have gone for a ride

Kyle Miller

After we exhausted all our options in the backyard we packed up and headed through the ASI tunnels to the old Forum jump...

Nick and Kyle checking it out...

Miller dropped a hammer with this first track front 540.

This was my last day in Tahoe before heading up to Oregon and it could not have been any better. Powder day with some of my best friends in late April. It was the perfect end to an epic winter.

Yep, Canadian Sessions rider Dave Fortin took first at the Grenade Games Finale making him 10k richer. Way to go Dave!

Mastering Whistler

A long overdue trip to Whistler just concluded for me. We (4FRNT) were invited to compete in the Orage Masters event this year. We've been participating in this "anti-comp" since day 1 and this year we finally made the finals and ended up 2nd. We scored a 15 day Retallac trip out of it so we're stoked.



While in Whistler and around the Masters comp, I was fortunate to have met up with our Japanese distributors during their epic qwest to Whistler for some spring shred. We met up with some other local friends and teammates and did a nice size hike up to a pretty classic zone in the Blackcomb backcountry called something Japanese ironically.



We seshed a full day in Blackcomb's park a couple days after the comp with COC filmer Leo. The other kids where crushing it, me not so much. Its cool to blame that on my 187cm lengths skis right? Skiing Alta this year has been great but I'm ready for park after that day. Man, Blackcomb has the park gig figured out and it was so much fun to just fly down the mountain off huge jumps with no impact. Peep the video.

Now I'm back in Utah. Warming up the moto season with a new bike I just got for street and dirt. I got a ride planned for late May through the Mendicino state forest to the coast. I'm psyched.

Sun!

By Brett Butcher

After a week of grey and snow the weather finally broke in Tahoe. We raced out to the jump we have been waiting to hit all week. Snow was great and we all put down some tricks!

Need the split boards to get to these mountains...

Looks fun? It was amazing...

We built a second jump but the snow was baked by the time we hit it...

Miller time...

NOAA is saying more snow this weekend... winter is staying to the bitter end and that puts a smile on my face : )

Winter is Back!

After a solid couple weeks of sunscreen, tees and park riding, winter is back and making one last stand in Tahoe. Kyle Miller, Andreas Gidlund, Taylor Carlton and myself have had some amazing days at Alpine Meadows and out in the backcountry on the sleds. Here are some photos of the past couple days.

Morning tune up on the sled

Miller was so stoked to be out there he was doing handstands

Lunch time!

Brett and Andreas hanging with the squirrels

Taylor and Shane took off to check out some other potential jump spots while we chilled at another jump. Five minutes went by and we got a call over the radio. Taylor put his sled into a creek hole. After some searching we found them and helped dig them out. keep an eye out for them holes... they sneak up on you!

We hit this spot at the end of the day... snow was weird but we still got some stuff

Miller popping over the nose

Taylor hitting a windlip

Get those pow turns in... Summer is knocking on the door
