Snowboarding is what you make it; simple as that. For many, it’s an escape from reality. For others, it’s a fun thing to do with your friends for one weekend out of the year. Regardless of what motivates your click of the ratchet, the sense of freedom we experience when flying down the mountain is shared among all.

Why do you shred? Do you do it for the fame? Do you do it for the glory? Do you tweak your grabs for a camera or throw doubles for the judges? Wear this, wear that. Be here, be there.

Turns come and go, lines are decimated and tracked out by the slashes of another. Crowds ravage hidden gems, and eventually the sun sets on every perfect session. But each hit, each method, each pocket of the pure and untouched shared with your crew builds a collection of times that never die and never fade as the snow melts.

Life is built upon the moments you share, and the world you choose to live in. Live in the shred world and ride for the love of it.
