Sup. Moving up from Tahoe. Currently on the ice coast actually but heading back west soon. Gonna be grooming parks at Crystal. Living up there at the mountain. If anyone wants to make some turns, or go brapp around a skatepark let me know.

I'm pretty shit at skating and after some recent injuries I'm staying on the ground mostly. I like concrete parks where you can flow around.

Hoping for a good season. I like Tahoe and Northstar has some sick parks, but Crystal seems like a dope spot.

I also having a splitboard if anyone wants to tour, I'm pretty keen to find some touring partners when the snows good.

Oh Heck yeah man, I ski Crystal all the time and am excited to see how the park keeps improving, it’s been getting better every year since Alterra came in. I’ll swing thru and awkwardly say hey to all the park crew this year until I figure it out which one ya are, Watch out for the NS sticker and flailing arms.

Nobody tours on here but if you want to have a "NS Famous" touring day, you me and Sklar should all get out when it starts firing.


Cobra_Commander has also recently been spotted back in these parts.

Yo, did you make the move? Planning to head up Sunday with some homies for some touring and/or to mess around on some jumps/the rails. I'd be stoked to link up!

Dark blue pants and faded red and white saga flannelnish jacket. Green helmet.

Not sure in quicksilver. Was hogging some snow to build up the side to flat but ran out of snow. Weather doesn't look that great. Hoping they can close it off snd hammer out some whales next time temps are good for it.

Conditions have been pretty dope so far. Digging this place.

North Seattle is nice thats were i used to live and still spend a lot of time still when i'm not in North Bend . Ballard, Fremont, U-district are all fairly nice areas. Mountains as well as other outdoor activities aren't far at all.
