Joe Bosler, Byron Bagwell, Shawn Freyer and Brice Niebuhr connected for a Northwest backcountry finale at Mt. Baker and Stevens Pass. This edit is filled with deep powder lines, pillows and just outright getting in some pow slashes. If this doesn’t make you want to break up or get a divorce, sell everything you own, move to the mountains and become a northwest snowboard bum…then nothing will. It’s inspiring.
It may be March and it may seem like spring is just around the corner but there’s still plenty of winter left and lot’s of powder to be shredded. Here are some photos of a solid Mt. Baker powder day with our Northwest team riders including Byron Bagwell, Shawn Freyer, northwest sub rep, Brice Niebuhr and photographer, Justin Kious. They got it good. Check out the photos and be jealous or just hit the slopes and get some yourself.

Sometimes you have to hike for it...but it's worth it.
Brice all tuckered out from shredding powder all day. Poor little guy.

The Summit At Snoqualmie Resort in Washington State held their annual Holy Oly Revival on February 20th at their East Resort.
Despite the fact that Lib Tech was the major sponsor of the event, an aspiring Arbor team rider and northwest sub rep named Brice Niebuhr took the Biggest Air Championship riding a 2009 Draft. “The concept of the Holy Oly, from the beginning, has been to have a gathering of like-minded snowboarders come together to celebrate the past, present and future of Northwest snowboarding,†says event creator, Krush Kulesza. Congratulations Brice, you’re one step closer to being on the Arbor skateboard team…snowboard team…skateboard team…hum. We’ll have to figure that one out.
A street-specific rocker board for riders whose focus is park and urban jibs: rails, boxes, trees, wall rides, etc.; the Draft is the perfect platform for spinning, pressing, bonking, and buttering your way through life.
