Truckee’s Chas Guldemond just might be the hardest-working man in the sport of snowboarding. Raised in New Hampshire and a graduate of Waterville Ski/Board Academy, the 21-year-old snowboarding phenom has paved his way to the top of the competitive snowboard scene one long work day at a time. Whether washing dishes, ripping out bathrooms or lapping the terrain park until he can hardly stand, Guldemond has been dead serious about getting ahead by simply getting ‘er done.

One of the most powerful riders in the game, Guldemond’s stoic work ethic translates directly to his riding style. He charges and he stomps it when it counts. In his 2007-’08 season he won six major pro contests in three different disciplines and graced the podium in just about every other comp he entered. When not competing, the head-to-toe sponsored athlete racked up another starring role in Standard Film’s next release, Aesthetica.
