Just cuz…
November 12, 2009

Last week I received a few surprises at my door step. I typically don’t like to mash things that peeps send me, but when it comes to brands/heads that I support, it's all good.

When I was growing up, it took a lot to buy a lift ticket. Although prices were a hell of a lot less, I came to the realization that riding at the hill cost much more than skating down the street. So I decided to actually work at the mountain doing whatever, whenever just to get a pass. Today, we’ve been blessed by resorts across the globe that “get us in,” just cuz. Two resorts (besides Bear) that will always have a big part of me growing up is Mountain High in Wrightwood and Sierra-at-Tahoe in Southlake. Big ups to Chuck/John at MH and J. Rice at S@T for always showing love.

When people ask me what city would I live in besides LA, two places always come to mind - Seattle and Vancouver. Why? A few things: Seasons, City + Mountains, Great food joints, Good vibes and Cool people. The good folks at Endeavor and Airhole in Van, are just that - cool heads that do their thing while having a fun time at it. One more reason to get on the hill now!
