Ten minutes of J Lev talking with Jon Hartley during a spring park day at Stowe several seasons ago. J Lev talks about the era of “snowboard parks,” the epiphany he had about center-mounting his skis for the first time, and the first time he tried a 180 on his 203-centimeter Rossis, and making “a ski like a snowboard” in college. Hit play and go off to tend to your basil; it’s a good listen.

Sander Hadley Blasts Shit F*#k Conditions

With most of your feed usually taken up by TGR posts promoting the mostly epic blower and all-time conditions, it was great to be able to post about somebody going for it in the marginal conditions we spend the majority of our weekends skiing any given winter. But kids - definitely don't try that at home. Young Pocatello, Idaho native Sander Hadley is living in SLC these days and trying to make a name for himself as a pro shredder, and no doubt took a cue from Johan to put out his own POV edit of him going for broke at Snowbird during the area's recent snowfall drought - rocks, trees, shrubs, and awful snow be damned. Is this what it takes to make it as a new-age pro these days?!? But the bigger question is this: who blasted sh*t f*#k conditons better??
