This session was meant to be. A small group of hardworking snowboarders can do anything when they put their minds together. I scouted this tunnel feature a year prior and was eager to incorporate it into a snowboard image but wasn't sure how I could pull it off.

Northwest filmer Scott Studach and I returned to the tunnel and dreamed up a way to make the feature work. The following evening Scott brought out Wildcard riders and North West stand outs Andy Bergensperry (Lib-Tech) and Joe Bosler (Arbor). The build was emend and required we work through the night removing metal shards from the wall, shoveling, sculpting, clearing rocks from the landing and finally after a 1:00 am coffee brake the session began.

I spent hours deep in the tunnel peering over my shoulder occasionally, as the sounds of splashing and clanking reverberated from the depths of the haunted tunnel. Outside the tunnel Joe and Andy's spirits were high as they proceeded to high mark the over vert repeatedly and even threw down a couple wirily birds for good measure.

The session was a big success! Armed with an idea, motivation and a dedicated crew a year long fantasy became reality overnight.
