Everyone has their own preference when it comes to how they get their shred on during winter. Some snowboarders prefer to only ride their home mountain and form a tight-knit “locals’ community”. Others take one big seven-day trip to a foreign land once a year. And still, others go for a more explorative snowboard season, tracking vertical feet at as many different resorts around the globe as they can.
