Well I joined this in hopes of finding fellow shredders that live in AZ. I learned to snowboard in North Carolina, at Beech Mountain. 5 years and a college degree later, I moved to Vermont and shredded there for 3 years while getting my masters degree in Environmental Law. Jay Peak, Stowe, and Killington (not on weekends!!!!) were my stompin grounds. I've ridden everywhere in North America except Tahoe (and of course AK). Jackson is by far my favorite. Now, I'm a workin man in Phoenix AZ and get to ride on the weekends, but that keeps me happy. With the remarkable snow season the SW has gotten, there have been some epic days, especially at Wolf Creek and Silverton. Phoenix is easy to fly out of (SLC, Denver) and I'm finding I dig it more than I thought I would.
