I used to go to school at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I accidentally applied to Sugar Bowl and received a call a few days later! I discovered that Sugar Bowl was near Lake Tahoe- and was completely confused. Residents there lead me to the general direction I needed to go. They let me stay in one of the rooms for the night, and my adventure continued. I had brand new gear (my boot and pants were cut into pieces!...

The technology has been around for a bit now but before it was a pay feature. Also, it’s really simple and easy.  It’s quite simple.

No matter if it is summer or winter, we always enjoy a nice sunny day. What better way to take advantage of the sun than starring it in your photos. We have a great article on starring the sun here. If you have tried the technique a couple times you probably love it by now, but different lenses will create different results. At APS we can only speak from our own experience, so we are going to talk about the lenses we have used....

The day would start off like any other in this city, surrounded by volumes of mountain ranges. And teamwork was the name of the game. The storm soon quelled and the contest went off without any further interruptions. The Zero team made it just in time to witness all the skaters killing it in the BFF contest. Tyson?s clean lines and deep bag of tricks landed him the 1st place spot....

Not only that, but Ian is now in the reserve list for the WORLD HELI CHALLENGE in New Zealand, so although we don’t wish anything bad on anyone, we do wish that for some reason the present candidate can’t go and we will see Ian being dropped out of a heli with the world’s best – pretty awesome way to spend your summer holidays. For your viewing pleasure here is the video that got Ian his GoPro:...

Home Mountain: Northstar at Tahoe, CA I love Northstar-at-Tahoe. I moved to the resort in December and spent about 120 days riding the mountain this season. The atmosphere, the parks, and the people made this place the best. The parks were the realness and you could cut between the four parks to hit features from each. I always had a good day at Northstar. Blue skies and almost always perfect snow made riding a joy....

Home Mountain: Northstar at Tahoe, CA Northstar at Tahoe is the place to be. I spent around 120 days at Northstar this past season and it was the best season of my life. Being a park-rat, I spent almost all day every day riding Vista, the park chair. The best day I had at Northstar was probably closing day this year. It was real good. I can’t wait till next season!...

Home Mountain: Mountain High, CA I love my home mountain because my home mountain loves me. I have been snowboarding at Mt high for 6 years and it has always treated me well. It is the reason i started snowboarding and the reason i will ride till i can not ride anymore. I will always love mt high and take the lessons it taught me everywhere.
