Some Killer Spots

Top 4 Killer Spots:



Winter is coming faster and faster each day, and therefore we thought we would share some of our favorite spots to get out and shred some slopes. Over 15 years of experience, I've been fortunate enough to really get out there and shred some really cool spots. I have gotten to see the difference each area brings, and how people perceive things differently for each hill. If you have snowboarded for years or just are a beginner you understand that everyone will find their favorite things. Some people love the to sit in the park, and just ride the tow rope all day, some people love to get air and hit big jumps and drops. There also is those people who just love to ride and carve. Below are a top 4 list of my favorite spots to go, and if you get some free time would definitely suggest you check out!
  • Keystone - Boulder Colorado 
    • This right here is my favorite spot of all time. I've been lucky enough to get out there now the past 3 years. Takes everything I've experienced around here to another level. The parks are huge, the setup is great never any crowding in the park, and the park setup flows so well. The jumps are almost too big if you are looking to try something crazy you will find no issues for that. The terrain and snow is always at tip top shape, never any ice coating, or jumps and rails being poor conditions. 




  • Buck Hill -  Burnsville MN 
    • My favorite spot for the past couple years around here. Absolute sick rails and jumps, always have the nicest things. Maintained like no other. Constantly always looking for ways to improve their overall place for riders. Transworld snowboarding even came down to ride, for those who don't know Transwold snowboarding is a company that comes with professionals and rides and video resorts all over the world, therefore Buck hill making it should say enough get down there!


  • TrollHaugen - Dresser Wisconsin

    • Right here is my favorite hometown spot. Been going here for 8 years now and see the growth in it. 2 tow ropes on each side one for the park, and one for the big air side. I've personally seen this place grow so much. It's a smaller spot and not many huge hills, but have great rails, a couple big drop in's, and the atmosphere is not like any other. There midnight run is something everyone should try. They provide live bands every Friday night just a great place to get the friends on a Friday night and go shred.

  • Afton Alps - Afton Minnesota

    • Another hometown spot close to my heart. I've gotten my fair share of experience here since I was a kid. Really nice and big spot, a little more area and jumps then Trollhaugen. They now have joined with Veil out in Colorado, so you can now purchase a season pass to Afton and be able to head out West to Veil big resort also with that pass. Sometimes get a little crowded, attracts a lot of people, but overall a really great spot especially if you have a family.

  1. John, your blog is looking MUCH better. Move the top three boxes (Disclaimer, Fellow Friends, Journey) to the right navigation. Move the tweet feed to the very bottom of the right navigation. Then, I think you've got it.

    Your post is great. The top paragraph needs to be left justified.
