My name is Chris and I am an athlete / coach / instructor. I have helped thousands of people get on the correct equipment which has drastically improved their riding over the years. I’ve been snowboarding since the late 1900s , over 25 years now. Coaching / Instructing for 15 and competing for 8. AASI / USASA certified. When I’m not snowboarding, I enjoy surfing, trail running, hiking, boating and recovery. Let’s get you out there ripping!
