What else should we know about the loveliness that is you?
I love riding pow and hitting up the park, too. Love cab 180’s & 3’s. I grew up riding Mountain Creek, then went to college in Vermont and developed a love for riding park there. Although I’ve been through two ACL Reconstructions and ankle surgery, the injuries have only made me stronger. I also compete at XC bike racing at the Pro level, but I’m actually more talented on my snowboard.
The thing is…
Since I have a picky knee and narrow, flat feet, muscular calves, it has been hard to find boots that fit just right. I buy about a size smaller since they break in fast. I also tend to have to do boot liner surgery in many cases. Many boots I have tried feel too big and uncomfortable.
