Going For It

Earning the turns, step by step p. GITV

Yesterday was a good day... Up and on the road long before sunrise, the compass in the VAN pointing straight north the whole way. 8:30 found Brian and I meeting the other half of our hiking crew, Nate and Jenny, in the Pinkham Notch Parking lot. With our destination agreed upon and our gear packed and stowed we began the hike. The dogs led the way and within a few hours we were there, staring at it. 1000 plus vertical feet of open snow stared back at us. We pounded protein and guzzled water before lapping the steeps a few times. With our whole crew tired, stoked, and safe we strapped in on last time, pointed it toward the parking lot and went. Feeling triumphant we celebrated with dollar coffees from the lodge and began to plan our adventure for the following weekend and speculate about the possibilities...

Pure Awesome... p. Nick Gee

The Pioneers skate team is up to the usual, absolutly shredding anything in front of them. Eamon, Max, and Zac are back from Cali where they skated the famed "Combi Bowl" all the boys crushed it and when the coping cooled down Zac had secured a 3rd place finish! Fresh back Eamon jumped into a contest at Frozen Waves and battled it out with Josh Littlefield. Eamon took first and Josh took second. Last, but certainly not least, NOLAN MONROE is crushing it in NZ. He just placed 6th at the Bowl-A-Rama event in Wellington and he'll be heading to Sydney, Australia to compete at the Bondi Bowl next weekend. Like I said they're all absolutely shredding!

If you feel like you got what it takes to skate with the Pioneers gang then here's your chance. Saturday Feb 26 head to RI for the Element "Make it Count" skate contest. All the info you need is right HERE. If you own it you could end up skating the Berrics with the Element team.
