HOME MOUNTAIN: Dodge Ridge, Alpine Meadows and Mt Baker

YEARS SNOWBOARDING: 10

SETUP: Stance: 23 inches wide, +18, -9.  I squeeze into a 9.5 boot that hurts like hell for about 10 days. I ride centered to jib and set back when Baker is firing.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH TO RIDE? Mt Baker Backcountry

IF YOU COULD PICK FOUR RIDERS (alive or dead) TO SNOWBOARD WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Justin Kious, Sky Risvold, Robbi Hutton and Shawn Fryer. I would dig on shredding Russia or Slovakia some place where people are rocking gear from the 80’s.

WORST LIE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOM? I don’t know why that closet smells like piss.

WORST LIE YOUR MOM EVER TOLD YOU? One time my mom convinced me a turkey neck was a turkey shlong after she had me rip it off the turkey.

MAC OR PC? PC at the moment.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE SMART & UGLY OR DUMB & BEAUTIFUL? In the words of the slug (god loves ugly)

WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABIT? (Be Honest) Drinking tequila until my evil twin Willis reveals himself.

SUMMER TIME: SKATE, SURF, OR RIDE? Surf as much as possible, skate tranny, and hit up South America.

  21. [...] Byron Bagwell is an anomaly of the snowboard industry – creating his own reality as he fully realizes his powder dreams (see the POV Andes video below!) Starting out working at a local Bellingham shop, Fairhaven Mountain Sports, Byron soon became the virtual northwest rep for Arbor Snowboards. And here is where he pioneered new territory – Byron then left his public relations position of “Road Warrior” and is now a well supported member of Arbor’s National Team. Byron lives in Bellingham where he rides primarily Baker, hiking a ton, and makes regular forays to his home state of California. To see photos of his recent trip to Chile, check out his Arbor profile here. [...]
