Check out the closing day shenanigans. This was possibly the most fun day in the park I had all season and I am very glad that I documented all the rippers out there who were hucking their meat!
To a great season

The slopestyle last Saturday definitely lived up to it’s name. It also seemed to be a fun-first style with only good vibes from all the competitors. The weather that day was very typical Stevens Pass weather – sun, cloud, fog, snow, rain, snain, sticky, slow, etc. It was difficult to get speed for many of the features.
The course layout was influenced by ideas from shop riders and the groomers added many of their own. It was built in only one night so we have high hopes for next season’s course flow.
Anyway here are the results that I remember for the snowboarders (because you won’t find them anywhere else)
Pro Men:
1st – Wainhouse
2nd – Penny
3rd – Jordon Frager
Best Trick – Wain backside 7
Legends: SPSS owner Tony Richards
Ladies: Kayla Kobelin
Also shout out to Travis Claughton for always killing it. I personally watched him stand up both of his runs and though he deserved some for that. And here is a photo of shop Pro Megan Ginter celebrating Cinco de Mayo properly..
Overall it was a fun event and we learned what improvements we can make for future seasons. Thanks to everyone who made it possible – Nate, Gregg, Brian, Frank, Tony, the judges and of course all of the supporting riders. Looking forward to next season.

Sunshine and slush.. SoCal boardin’. Check out some of Penny’s shredding down at Bear Mtn the other week. (With a couple shots at Stevens – big contrast) Looks like a lot of fun down there.. 16 year old Matt Penny rides for C3, Nike, VZ, Casual and of course SPSS. Be on the look out for Matt in the future as he is just gettin’ started…
LOCAL riders have been taking advantage of the extra weekends Stevens gave us this season. Check out this edit by Funner Snowboarding. The motivation was high riding with this rad crew. It features Colorado locals Madison and Colin KILLING IT as well as cameos from the shop kids: Ton, Dano, Kevin, Wain, and TClaught. Park is really fun right now and this should be an awesome closing weekend with the Nacho Ordinary Slopestyle – design influence from SPSS itself.
Shout out to Gregg, Brian and the rest of the Top Phlight crew for a fun ass spring we’ve had here at Stevens Pass.
What a spring it was. Full of Highs and Lows. The community will be putting itself back together for a long time after the loss of 3 cherished friends. We will keep them in our hearts and continue do what we know how to do best. Enjoy the mountains with each other. This is a little go pro montage of the spring when it all went down.
Thanks to everyone who helps shape my life.
Joe Bosler up in AK for tailgate Alaska.. Take a peak at a couple sweet photos from his adventures up north. We’re glad your healthy and back on your board Bos! Like it!
45 seconds of urban hammers. DLev with the ender. Looking forward to seeing this film – Holy Smokes.
The other week some of the shop shreds hit up Snoqualmie and destroyed their park. This edit was made by shop dude Roy Barron – his first he’s ever made. Props to Roy for the sweet edit and to Kevin, Trevor, Dan, Travis, Tony and Roy for looking good on camera! That park looks like a lot of fun!
And here is a quick edit from a few laps last sunday through the Stevens Pass terrain park. Features Roy, Marvin, Kevin, Tony, TClaught and other friends..
Matt Penny was shredding Snowboarder Magazine’s “The Launch” last week down at Big Bear Mtn, California. The Launch is Snowboarder Mags “superpark” for all rippers 18 and under.. although still recovering from an injury, Matt Penny deservingly showed up for his 2nd season in a row. He’s got a shot in the Day 1 edit throwing a big ol Michaelchuck right in the camera man’s face. Way to go Penny! Your reppin’ it for the shop very well homie..
And Matt.. I encourage you to elaborate on this post as well..
Here is a banger that never made it up to the site. This is a part of Hana Beaman’s webisode series “P.S..” Shop slayer Megan Ginter had some sweet sweet powder days in the month of February. Earning her turns, building pow jumps and stomping tricks proves why she belongs in the Northwest and anywhere else the pow lies.
Other homies in the edit include B-Rad, Olivia Kesterson, Hansy, Jordon Frager, and JD.
