Sweet Snowboard Options

I found my extra glove liners in my glove box last wee and I began thinking about Beaver Creek.  Deep powder…Double Blacks…Birds of Prey.  The best part is no one is ever on Birds of Prey.  Except for an occasional hang glider.  It’s a race course so usually 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.

I’ve owned a few snowboards since 1996.  I think the best snowboard is my 155 Option.  Options are the first snowboards I’ve enjoyed riding since my first green Burton A-Deck with the butterfly base.  The snowboards I rode in between were slow, chaotic and uncontrollable.  Eventually, I didn’t feel like riding anymore.  Then my friend Ryan let me try his Option.  And I fell in love.  My snowboard is so awesome I may never buy another.

Anyone looking for a new snowboard should check out Option Snowboards…they’re strong, aggressive and fast.  Like a board should be.
