I found my extra glove liners in my glove box last week… they sent my thoughts deep into Beaver Creek. Deep powder…Double Blacks…Birds of Prey… no one is ever on Birds of Prey. Except for an occasional hang glider. It’s a race course so more often than not the runs are closed. If you take the trees…you can hit the second half of the run. Don’t be impressed, I only ride it when it has deep powder and I’m on the right board.
In fourteen years of snowboarding, let’s just say I’ve owned a few boards. Without a doubt, my favorite board is my 155 Option. I fell in love with my Option Snowboard because it’s the first board I’ve enjoyed since my old green Burton A-Deck with the butterfly base. All the boards in between were slow, chaotic and uncontrollable. Literally, it came to the point where I didn’t really want to ride anymore. Until my friend Ryan let me try out his board. When I say I fell in love… I mean my board is so awesome I may never buy another.
Anyone wanting to buy a new board for next year should check out Option Snowboards…they’re strong, aggressive and fast. Like a board should be.
