Turkey Day

Drove up north to Michigan for Thanksgiving with good weather. It was awesome to hang out and catch up with my family. Dinner was great and as always, I over ate! It's always worth it though and the food is never bad. I brought my snowboard and gear up with me hoping for any chance to ride.... no snow anywhere... Nubs and other resorts were making snow and opening the day I leave. Typical scenario. But I didn't expect a snowstorm to come rolling in the night I'm leaving aaand the day of. So not only did I not get to snowboard but I'm going home with tons of cookies and a fake Christmas tree.

Home sweet home

One of the Best places on Earth, Lauren and I went to to my home town for my Birthday and the waves made me want go kayaking or swimming. A few days later the swells were around 6-8ft. And 2 weeks ago they were 22ft in the middle of Lake Michigan.

Fresh

So it's time for the new season and I couldn't be more hyped than I am now. It's going to be a great great time with good friends! Big trips planned to Utah, Cali, and AK this year. While I'm in AK, I'll be visiting my brother and his girlfriend and riding at Alyeska resort. So I'm super stoked on all of that. I have a new board coming this year from Revolution, and again I'm extremely fortunate and excited to see the new graphics. I know it'll turn out great and ride just as good as all my other boards have from them. So Big Ups to all the people at Revolution MFG for hooking a broke bum up and letting him rep a true snowboard company. And Big Thanks to Salomon for the hook on boots and bindings. I can't wait to try out the new stuff. The weather has been getting ready to dump out everything it can this year. I've been watching the radar and the news, it's going to be a good year! I'm looking forward to riding at Seven Springs and Big Boulder park this year as well as out West. I'm fresh and fully recovered from last season. I did lots of therapy with my arms and shoulders and think I'm ready to blaze them guns! I'll start posting more blogs this year and keep my updates "updated"
