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.
