On Tuesday I got invited to cruise down to Taos with the guys from Never Summer for the opening day for snowboarding. I didn’t realize it, but Taos is only about a 5 hour drive from Denver. We were pumped to check out a new area and get out of the city for a couple days.

Straight chilln! All in all it was a fun trip. Super sunny, 55 degrees, and good snow. Big thanks to Jeremy Salyer and the whole Never Summer crew for having me along, it was awesome.
