Snow, the ultimate canvass

Constantly checking the snow conditions to make sure you will have that perfect snow? You are on the pursuit every rider is searching to find the answer for!
To add in that search make sure you always check the weather and snow condition a head of time and stay up to date with them. Make sure you pick the right mountain too, because location matters. Most important thing is to make sure that you still have a good day no matter what!

I have not traveled all over to find that perfect snow, yet. But I have been to my fair share of mountains in New England. A couple of my favorite are Loon, Sunday River, and Wachusett(which really isn't a mountain if you ask me). But my favorite is Killington, it is a great sized mountain with a Burton stash park, which is a all natural terrain park. Also it has a gondola which is key at good sized mountains, allowing you to escape the elements for a couple minutes. Giving your hands a chance to warm up before you kill the run all over again

Most of those mountains have to blow a good majority of snow, because of their location. Its just always icy in New England, which does not help with snow conditions. Blown snow is not the best but its not the worse either, once groomed and skied on for a little it can actually soften up. The key with a lot of blown snow trails is to ride the side because thats where all the skied off snow builds up and that equals soft riding. If they are blowing it during the day then its freezing, annoying and painful, so defiantly stay to the side of the trail and avoid the spray. Overall the snow is still good and even better if they get a dusting of powder on top.

But what I truly love to ride is all powder, to just lean back and cruise on top, its like a dream. I have heard Japan is suppose to have the best powder, as well as all those mountains that are not designed for snowboarding and skiing. Which are both on my bucket-list, to taste Japan's powder and to go heli-boarding on trails of powder created by me. The purest for of that sport and the creativity involved. Other destination that I hope to visit and recommend would be places in: Colorado, Utah, Oregon, and British Colombia in Canada. I cannot wait to get out there and try all the different mountains, each with their own snow and conditions. Do not expect a mountain to have the same conditions as another or even the same as another day you where there, because every day you ride its different and thats the fun of snowboarding. It never gets old.

Now you are probably  wondering how that relates to my concept of "Find your inner Rider". Well the answer is that different mountain all offer new runs, snow condition and way to flow down the mountain. Which all have impact on your riding style and ultimately how you express yourself on any give day in any give condition. One day it could be ice the next powdery, each offering new and different way to use them mountain as your canvass for expression. A part of your journey to find your inner rider, you will discover: what mountains you favor and which snow condition you love to ride in and how they all give you different way to express yourself.
