Back in Seattle an we are planning on heading to shribbers the weather is looking good so we have a 5am wake up an get amongst it! ps thats way to early!! Any ways we had the big old crew greg an myself plus nick B an H bugs vaughn Jye an Jake so 8 in total 7 sleds they all wanted to build a jump so off we went found a spot an started building it was a beast took us hours!!


everyone gearing up in car park


Jump being built weather looks like its coming in.

Sure enough just after the finishing touches were put on the jump the weather did come in bummer it start blowing hard an snowing browner ended up hitting it once perfect fs 7 to crash as he couldnt see a thing in the landing. We all hung out trying to wait for a clearing it wasnt happening so Jye Jake an myself sledded out the others wernt to far behind. Felt a bit bummed to have not hit anything on my board, but I had a super fun day sledding managed to not get stuck once stoked on that! I had a tired saw body at the end of it. Still a fun beautiful day in the mountains.

We shot photos the first day with Jordan was so sick we built a jump off a mush was super fun an they took us to a new spot where there was a hut an some amazing terrain we posted up in the hut for lunch so cute in there an loads of history a real stevens local spot!
After lunch we rode some of the funnest terrain I ever rode on Steven bouncy powder mushes,  drops, big open pow fields a bit of everything!
