Home base Northwest, you can feel the yeti looking over your shoulder. I picked up a nasty habit nine years ago called Mt Baker. I don't think I will be able to quit. She keeps me locked in her basement in hip deep pow from November until May. I fear there is no escape!!

Snowboarding is a privilege. Simply being able to hike to the top of a mountain is rad, let alone shralping down it. Gotta be extremely thankful for shredding.

Dam shredding is fun. And the NS RC technology makes that shit even better.
Friends and Family are the most important thing in life. They'll always be there no matter what.
Follow your dreams cuz its the only way to truly be happy and you only get one shot at life.
Thanks To: My wife Carrie for always encouraging me to do what I love. My son Caden for straight killing it and being so stoked when I get to chill with him.

From: Nuevo Mexico
Staying close to my roots is important to me. Having the opportunity
to ride for a local well established company such as Never Summer is Key.
A well-developed product under foot will enable a rider to accomplish
whatever goals they may set out for. As I work along side my peers the product
just keeps getting better and better. So I guess the sky is the limit!

I try my best to be "very dude" in everything I do except for when it comes to riding and that's when the hard work comes into play. Born and raised in the woods of Idaho I've been chasing snow since I was a kid. I now live in SLC where I take advantage of the greatest snow on earth. Pumped and proud to be a part of the Never Summer family.

I live in Arvada, Colorado and I love riding park and powder.
I have been riding for Never Summer since I was 8 years old. Tim Canaday custom made my first NS shred stick, which was a 119 EVO. I still have it to this day. It is so custom it doesn't even have a serial number on it.
Thank you to Tim, Tracey, Jeremy, Micah and everybody else at NS for thier support.
Oh yea I have to also say thanks to the they guy that I consistently beat at golf Chris Harris!

Moved out to breck when I was 19, and never looked back. Been on the shred journey for 8 years now and I can't say it was always the easiest but I can say it continues to be the most fun I have ever had. Shredding is fun

I want to thank my parents first and foremost! Without them i wouldn't even be here. I also want to thank friends i ride with, for being stoked on the snow, and having as much fun in it as possible! Because if fun is not being had; why do it? That goes for anything. Snowboarding is the most positive activity anyone can do with their spare time. Lastly, i want to thank Never Summer for all the support that keeps me sliding down any snow filled pow field I can get myself to! Give thanks to life! Respect

I moved to Tahoe when I was five and I started snowboarding around age ten. Ever since my first board all I ever wanted to do was snowboard. I'm self employed and I run a Yard Service in the summers to be able to take the winters off to ride. Last winter I rode 145 days and I'm on my 13th strait month of riding. I spend my winters training at Squaw, riding and filming backcountry, traveling to the Northface masters events and to where the snow is good. Highlights from last season were riding the Tom Burt spines with Ryland Bell, qualifying 1st at Kirkwood's Northface event and finshing 5th at Kirkwood and 6th Overall in the Northface series!

been shredding in North West Wyoming for 15 years based outta Jackson Hole. Originating from Golden, Co. I was fortunate to have NeverSummer underfoot now for over 21 years! I have found myself as being a true loyal fan and so stoked to see this Progression continue! Props to Full Room Productions, Bluebirdwax, and StormShowStudios! Thanks to all who make gratification happen!
Austin Gibney
Crested Butte Colorado is home, even though I spend more time traveling then i do here. I prefer to do my riding in the backcountry with friends. I enjoy the adventure and the solitude of being out there, Plus thats where the pow is best. I enjoy riding the Proto CT and the Heritage. I write trip reports for stokelab.com on my adventures through out the winter. Check my footage out on vimeo or 611 productions websites

Bio-I've been riding for about 6 years now, the last 5 of which i
spent living and working at Mount Snow, Vt as a
freestytle coach. While working there i met a lot of great people
which made moving out west a hard choice but glad i did.
While shredding i like to listen to Hip-Hop like Masta Ace, Illogic,
Souls of Mischief, Artifacts and Gang Starr. I also enjoy
bacon, the color green, and plan to one day become a ninja warrior.

Hi I'm Tyler Kulich from Harrison Township, Michigan. I'm 14 years old and I started snowboarding when I was 4. I love to do every board sport out there; snowboarding, longboarding, wakeboarding, skating, etc.

Coming from MN, it is hard not to appreciate the Colorado terrain, I'm stoked to snowboard anywhere in the world, but shredding out here makes me happy .... Shredding with your friends is the most fun feeling in the world, and that is what I am going to keep doing for as long as I can!
Parker Cross
from Orem, UT. 27 Years old, focus on Splitboarding and mountaineering.
I broke my spine in 2008 in the terrain park at Park City, and it slowed me down tremendously. The passion for sending massive park features was fading, then I discovered splitboarding. Touring out in the backcountry has become the go-to way that I experience time on my snowboard, and with over 70 pow days in 2011, I'm not complaining.
Jake Lawlor
From Logan Utah, home mountain Brighton
Stoked on life! Pow Pow is my favorite thing ever.
On the hunt for natural launch pads and bottomless landings... I do wish I had more jib skills though hahaha
I love snapping photos the remember all the good times.

Ive been riding for about 18 years now and my favorite thing to ride is jumps. I do enjoy rails to, but there's nothing like boosting off a big park jump or backcountry booter. Ive been riding the Never Summer Evo for the past few years and find it to be the perfect board for riding park, but it performs just as good powder.
Donny Malone
Age 19, March 26, 1992 Saugerties, New York Hunter Mountain
Riding out of Saugerties, New York, Donny started snowboarding at 8 years old. Beginning with the Seasonal Program he learned how to ride the East’s legendary rock hard man-made snow, at Hunter Mountain. Progressing over the years, he started competing with Hunter Mountain’s Competition Snowboard Team. Donny crept his way to the top competing in Slope style, Slalom, Giant Slalom, Half Pipe, and Boardercross and became the overall Second Place Champion in the 2011 U.S.A.S.A. Championships held at Copper Mountain, Colorado.
Heather Baroody
Snowboard and ride bicycles. I grew up a gayper in Littleton, CO and now I live in Breckenridge...still a gayper. I just graduated from UCD with a BS in Chemistry and a minor in astrophysics so if this snowboard thing doesn't work out, I have a back-up plan. I like to slash pow and grab my knees.

I moved to the Mountains almost seven years ago with intentions of staying only one season. I got the taste of riding everyday and well, life became about just that. Snowboarding is my happy place and I cant imagine living without it!

Favorite places to ride: Sunday River, ME and Breckenridge, COStance: Goofy
Board: Pandora 146
What's up! I'm Sarah. I'm originally from the east coast, so I've gotta rep my home mountain, Sunday River, and Gould Academy Competition Program in Bethel, ME that I was on for 5 years. Chris Davies & Dustin Holzweiss -- thanks for being the best coaches ever. Snowboarding is my passion and taking the opportunity to live in Summit County, CO last year to train everyday with a new elite team and great coaches was a dream come true! My favorite trick right now is either a floaty front 3 melon or a back 5. This winter I'll be riding mostly at Breck and Keystone again and I'm super excited for the season. I plan on doing rail jams and other competitions whenever possible; in addition to being a full-time studnt at Colorado State University studying Sports Medicine.
