As a 29-year-old snowboarder, I have a deep connection to the mountains that has been with me since childhood. I was born in Jackson, Wyoming and grew up in Alaska. While my family spent my first six years in Kellogg, Idaho, we eventually moved to a remote area in Alaska where I discovered the thrill of snowboarding.
I started as a skier and joined the "out-of-bounds" club at the age of six. But when I turned 13, I made the switch to snowboarding and never looked back. Over the past 16 years, I've devoted myself to this amazing sport, constantly pushing myself to improve and explore new terrain. Now, I'm ready to take my snowboarding to the next level and explore the backcountry.
That's why I joined this forum - to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for snowboarding and to learn more about the area. Whether it's finding the best spots to ride or learning about backcountry safety, I'm eager to expand my knowledge and connect with others who share my love of the mountains.
