Summer fucking rules, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Yes, we love winter and a certain activity that accompanies it, but the warm sun is tough to beat. Now that we know snow is on the way, it’s a perfect time to reflect back on those wonderful months between May and September.

The Electric team was among the many that made the pilgrimage from around the country to the glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon. But this destination is more than snowboarding. Hood is a multi-dimensional experience. Camping, biking, skating, beer drinking, and camaraderie. It’s the best of both worlds. With the leaves on the ground and snow in the mountains, these visions of summer remind us of just how good we had it.

But make no mistake, that first pow turn is going to make it tough to think about anything else than snowboarding. In the meantime, take a look back at the dog days of summer with Frank Knab, Garrett Warnick, Daniel Brown, Mike Rav, Cooper WhittierChristian ConnorsNick RussellReid Smith Parker WhiteAlex Carlson, and Greg Weaver.
