All of a sudden you have this feeling of clarity. Backcountry snowboarding has really done a lot to boost that feeling in me.
I suffer every moment of every day that I am not with my son. All I want is to be reunited with my son.
What you do once you're beyond the confines of your local lift service can be as limitless as the mountains themselves.
I've always been into powder that's what I like riding and now you've got to go farther to get it.
So I've been pushed farther and farther out into the mountains but at the same time realizing that that experience is really nice and I'm glad I'm getting pushed out there farther.
Oakley and Burton have been my main sponsors since '87. I've been riding for both of them.
My experience and what I do in snowboarding is really quite independent of the industry and the more independent it is the more pure and better I feel about snowboarding.
