About
Experience the Ride - was spawned by a passion for snowboarding and skiing and a desire to help others discover and enjoy snowsports to the fullest!
Are you:
seeking a new and exciting outdoor endeavor in your life?
wondering about how to get started in the snowsports?
wanting to connect with a cool community of like-minded people?
a snowboarding and/or skiing zealot?
someone who starts Jonesing for snow in late summer?
interested in safely exploring awesome out of bounds and backcountry terrain?
This site is for you!
I will also feature some content on Mountain Biking, since it taps into some of the same sublime elements as snowsports and is a great way to experience the ride in late spring, summer and fall!
A little bit of my story…
Snowboarding has been epic and life-changing for me! My journey on the snow began in 1993 when I moved to the mountains of Colorado - but the inspiration for it started many years earlier!
Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana - I had always dreamed of taking a fun ski trip to Colorado or Utah with family or friends. Sadly, that never happened!
As a teen in the late 1980’s, I was into skateboarding for a bit. One of the skate mags had an article about snowboarding and a cool picture of a guy (maybe Craig Kelly, RIP or Shaun Palmer) hucking off a big cliff out West - it really captivated me! Snowboarding looked amazing and I knew I wanted to do it!
Soon after moving to Colorado in 1993, I tried boarding at Arapahoe Basin and confirmed it was for me. From 1993-97, I was a full-time snowboard bum in Vail - I rode over 100 days every winter, in and out of bounds. In the offseasons, I mountain biked and whitewater kayaked.
I’ve skied several times over the years, and if I didn’t snowboard, I’d definitely ski—it’s just as awesome.
Since 2002, I’ve lived in the Seattle, WA area. More recently, I was a snowboard instructor at Summit Central - which helped to further deepen my perspective and love for the snowsports.
These days, I enjoy boarding with my 12-year-old son and just getting up on the snow to Experience the Ride for all it offers!
My real hope is that you can also get some thrill and meaning out of snowboarding and skiing and can create your own cherished memories!

Best places to snowboard and ski?
Worldwide, there are a staggering number of ski areas and resorts! The United States itself has 486 ski areas and resorts operating in 37 states - Colorado alone has over 30! So, just in the US, the range of choices is ridiculously vast!
Let me help you narrow things down and figure out some of the best places to snowboard and ski in the United States! For that objective, I will only focus on select ski areas in the western U.S. that offer high-quality experiences for all skill levels and are relatively easy for many residents/travelers to get to (so I’m talking about Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Montana and California)!
The Rocky Mountains (Colorado, Idaho and Montana) and Wasatch Mountains (Utah) both have insane light dry powder snow and awesome terrain; the Cascade Mountains (Washington and Oregon) and the Sierra Nevada Mountains (Northern/Central California) get tons of snowfall (in most years) and have incredible terrain; and the mountains of Southern California offer a nice combo of good terrain, excellent freestyle parks, and respectable amounts of snow in close proximity to major metro areas.
SEVERAL AREAS HAVE NIGHT SKIING OPTIONS! Please check with the individual ski areas.
In addition to my highlighted areas below, here is a short list of some other states, provinces and countries that have some phenomenal areas for snowboarding and skiing:
Wyoming, New Mexico, Alaska, Maine, Vermont, New York, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada
New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Chile, Argentina, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and several other European/Asian countries
If I do not mention a particular ski area, state, or country it is in no way meant as a slight! I just can’t cover them all.
Now get out there and do some exploring and enjoy the snow!

For Beginners
Things to think about if you are new to snowsports:
What gear and clothing do I need? (outlined in detail in this section)
Which ski areas/resorts should I go to as a beginner/novice?
(Visit the Where to Go section for more info)
How will you learn? (Visit Recommendations part of this section for more info)
What can you expect when learning and getting in snowsports shape?
Some stiffness and soreness (even in muscles and body parts you wouldn’t expect) - if you stretch during riding/skiing and stretch/exercise a little off the mountain, it will help to minimize this.
Individuals (of all ages) learn and progress at different paces - it truly depends on you, your motivation level and your physical abilities!
Generally speaking, more athletic people with better balance have an easier time learning and progressing. But even people in average physical shape can learn and progress reasonably quickly and have fun early on.
So do not be discouraged!
What is the risk of injury with snowsports? There is an inherent risk of injury with snowsports, (and serious injury or death can occur) but you can minimize that risk by:
*Wearing a helmet
*Riding or skiing within your ability level on slopes/terrain appropriate for your ability level
*Knowing how to turn, slow and stop effectively
*Stopping or resting when you are tired or need a break
*Using proper mountain etiquette and being aware of/respectful of others near you
***Disclaimer - I am not a medical doctor and none of the above is to be considered professional medical, health or safety advice!
Gear & clothing needed:
This is a list of the main and essential items - can vary depending on personal needs and preferences
Gear
the obvious - snowboard or skis
ski poles
bindings
boots
snowboard stomp pad (for traction and de-icing when back foot is out of the bindings)
snowboard leash (optional) - to prevent a runaway board
helmet
goggles and cloth to wipe them with
Clothing
base layers that wick moisture away from the skin (thermal top and bottoms or long johns)
secondary layers that hold body heat (long sleeve performance tops, fleece pullovers or sweatshirts)
secondary layer pants (athletic or fleece) for colder days if your snow pants are not lined
socks that are warm and moisture-wicking
outer layers that are water/wind-resistant and breathable (parka/jacket and pants/bibs) - bibs keep snow out better
balaclava or warm hat for underneath helmet
gloves or mits (with inner liners for very cold days)
Recommendations:
Take 1-3 lessons from a qualified instructor to learn proper techniques and good habits and progress faster vs. being taught by a friend or family member
Rent gear the first few times you go vs. buying right away- will save you $ and allow you to try some different brands/styles of gear
Do some research to confirm ski areas/resorts of interest have trails suitable for your ability level - at this phase you are seeking out easy learning terrain/green (beginner) runs
Prepare your car for winter driving conditions and pack tire chains (even for all wheel drive) and practice installing them ahead of time
Use layering - I usually go with 2-4 layers depending on temperature and conditions (4 on colder days and 2-3 on warmer days)
Stretch your muscles - it helps you ride/ski longer and keep soreness to a minimum
Hydration and snacks - take with you while riding to stay nourished and energized
Sunscreen - can keep exposed face/skin from getting fried and minimize the goofy looking goggle tan
The sun is more intense at higher altitudes and when reflecting off the snow!
Moleskin - provides protection for feet/ankles against hotspots and blisters
For enthusiasts
You are passionate about snowboarding and/or skiing and spend lots of time doing!
You are frequently on the hunt for new and gnarly locations to ride, ski, and explore!
You start Jonesing for snow in late summer!
The mantra “live to ride & ride to live” resonates with you!

Backcountry Safety
Snowboarding or skiing out of bounds and in the backcountry can be alluring, adventurous, thrilling and liberating (insert your preferred adjective here) but it can also be dangerous, unforgiving and deadly!
Backcountry snow conditions are usually safe about 80% of the time, but it is the other 20% that can lead to tragedy and unnecessary fatalities. Those numbers may be disputable, but it’s the principle that you are playing the odds when you venture into the backcountry, so you need to know what you are doing, how to access the risk and when it is safe to go out if you want to stay alive.
It can be wildly tempting to go for the immediate gratification of pristine and untracked snow on incredible terrain! But in a potentially dangerous situation it is way better to err on the side of caution and swallow your pride by not going, so you can live to ride or ski another day!
Avalanches, also known as the White Death, are very powerful forces - the largest ones can obliterate anything in their path! Besides entombing victims and causing death by asphyxia (lack of oxygen to the body), their associated violence can also break bones and damage internal organs.
Because of the physics, an avalanche can move with speed (making them difficult to outrun even on a snowmobile in some situations) and quickly sets up like concrete as it stops. Digging a person out of an avalanche burial can be very hard work and their life could well depend on you, so a rapid response is paramount! If you are buried deeply enough, it may be impossible to unbury yourself, so you will need to rely on others!
Suffice it to say, avalanches are serious business!!!
A few stats:
*About 100,000 avalanches are reported annually in the US
*On average there are about 27 avalanche deaths per year in the US (some years are lower due to specific snow/weather conditions)
*As of the end of April 2026, there have been 23 reported deaths in the US, which includes the 9 fatalities from the big avalanche in the Lake Tahoe area in mid-February
*Since 1980 there have been 593 avalanche deaths in the US
*The vast majority of avalanche victims are snowboarders, skiers, snowshoers, snowmobilers and mountain climbers
*In an avalanche burial, you have the highest chance of survival if you are unburied and rescued within 0-10 minutes!!!
*If you are buried for 10-40 minutes, the chances of survival drop sharply due to the risk of asphyxia!
*After burial for 40 minutes or longer there is little chance of being rescued alive due to asphyxiation!
In a burial situation time is of the essence!!!
backcountry snowboarding and skiing safety tips -
***(Not a complete list)
*Take a rigorous backcountry and avalanche safety course (this is crucial)!
*Learn how/where to safely dig a snowpit to analyze snowpack layers and how to do rutschblock/shovel shear tests
*Never go out in the backcountry alone - only go with other experienced people you trust with your life
*Always have and know how to properly use safety gear: avalanche beacon, probe, shovel, etc.
*Get the local avalanche report from professionals - do not rely on info from friends or 3rd party sources
*Wait at least 48-72 hours after a sizable storm before going out - gives the snowpack time to bond and stabilize. Then get the avvy report and dig a snowpit, etc. to assess the risk
*Read books like “Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain” by Bruce Tremper - a renowned avalanche and snow safety expert
*Limit your risk of getting caught in an avalanche by traveling in small groups and dropping in 1 person at a time
*Do not try to beat the weather or go out in a storm - can lead to poor decisions and put you in danger
*Hike your areas in summer to get familiar with underlying terrain. Identify risky slopes/features and look for likely avvy paths (like gullies and chutes) and signs of prior activity (battered/mowed down trees) - avoid those areas in winter
