Grassroots riders Jeremy Jensen and Scotty Arnold take a trip up north to powsurf with a handful of Canadian rippers. 4 days of sunshine and dry powder conditions in the Coastal mountains of British Columbia had stoke levels high as ever. Many in our crew were riding Grassroots Powsurfers for the first time and seeing the smiles on their faces at the bottom of every run made the trip that much better.
Riding good pow is every snowboarders dream. Do you remember how fun the last pow day you had was? When you were just shredding, and having nothing on your mind except smashing through walls of snow. Bode Merrill and friends rode a ton of powder in some of the most exotic locations. From Japan, to Alaska, they got it good.

Wrightwood, CA – November 25, 2013 : The price of new gear, transportation, and lift tickets is always on the rise. Mountain High’s Midweek 8-Hour lift ticket at $59 is still a bargain compared to places such as Whistler Blackcomb ($109 Canadian), Montana’s Big Sky ($99), or Mammoth ($99), but still enough to deter some people from hitting the slopes.
