1st day of shredding edit.

1st day of shredding for me this season! I cruised over to Wild Mountain to check out the pre-season snow. I was pleased to find that a lot of good friends were there to partake in the joyous ocasion with me! I feel like pre-season is some of the best riding a person can get in the midwest! Its kinda like a family re-union. Everyone shows up in their own fashion and throws down like its the way its been all summer. Hugs and high fives are flung around then off to the chair we go. The fun starts here.













Greeted by these guys! Scott and Ethan.
