Is it really almost September already?  What happened to the summer?  Here’s a little look back on my own summer…

Squaw shredding after it closed in the middle of May.  Some of the best conditions Squaw had all season!


Easter Sierra with Jeremy for the final Deeper mission of the season in late May.  Extremely sick snow, deep corn in some places, full on pow in others.  The Solution was on fire!

Some Squaw shredding in mid June gave me some dirty corn that was still really fun.

Tioga Pass for some sun-cup shredding in late June.  The first few hundred feet of cups was pretty fun, but after a thousand feet or so of them, I was beat!

Southern Hemi action in New Zealand for the World Heli Challenge.  A big, wet, warm storm came through and put a nice white ice layer down, making conditions extremely less than desirable for a competition.  It’s a good thing there’s so much else you can do down there; I had some great mountain biking and got some decent surfing in!

It’s just a couple more months until the snow starts falling in the Northern hemi, and I’m really looking forward to making some pow turns!

Jones Snowboards is proud to announce the addition of Mitch Tolderer to our European Team.  Mitch is a fixture on the podium of the worlds biggest freeride comps and has held every major trophy there is over his head and finished second in this years World Tour behind Xavier De Le Rue.  Recently he has been leading the splitboard movement in Europe and has opened up a ton of new terrain in his home country, Austria.  Mitch’s life revolves around searching the  worlds mountains and the ocean for the next unridden wave or peak.  As we speak he is in the middle of a 4 month Southern Hemi walk about. He just left the coast of Peru and sent this message on his way to the mountains. “this week we will get our snowboard bag and all our mountain gear sent from Austria, we plan to go to explore the cordillera blanca in the peruian Andes. Then we will be back to the ocean before we head up to the Ecuadorian volcanoes in november,” Mitch
His lifestyle, attitude and big mountain abilities make him a perfect fit for Jones Snowboards.  Below are some picks and thoughts from Mitch after his first day on the Flagship.

One day after the Verbier Xtreme I did hike up the Bec de Rosses again to reach the smaller peak behind which looked so sweet the day before. Jeremy Jones gave me one of his new Jones Snowboards to try and I was really curious what this board he created would be like. My friend and Photographer Jancsi Hadik did join me on this `the day after´ mission to take a shot of the action. Although i am not used to riding a `small´ 161 off piste it did feel really nice. I cant wait to try the 64 flagship!

Before the drop in I was almost a little nervous because I am not used to riding a 161 off piste

after a few turns the board already felt familiar and really smooth under my feet. Photos: Jancsi Hadik
