Catch up with Chas Guldemond after a hardcore training session for a couple fun park laps. Fellow team riders Danny Toumarkine and Toby Miller tag along as well. This quick collection of bangers was filmed within literally two park laps.

Quite possibly one of the coolest kids we know, Toby Miller shows off in the park at Northstar this week. The park is definitely on point. Not too sure about Selena Gomez music though....

This is super creative. If this turns out to be a new contest format like they say in the video, snowboarding will be a lot cooler for it....maaaaan

Far earlier than expected, Northstar California opened yesterday to Lake Tahoe's prototypical blue skies and and warm weather. With Vista and Arrow chairs turning, that meant there was plenty of terrain open to get both your park fix on, and some wind in your face.

John Foy with style for days

There is a super fun park setup on Arrow consisting of an up-flat rail, long flat box, back-to-back down bars, ending up with 2 perfectly shaped jumps. Couple that with side hits and perfectly groomed trails to bomb down, it's easy to understand why there seemed to be endless smiles all day.

JP Lagos became the victim of the Northstar Photo Caption contest on their Facebook page. Click the image to see all the comments, they're hilarious.

Dave Abarta in mid-season form already

After lapping pretty much non-stop for 6 hours, we rallied to Rubicon for beers and called it a day. Thanks for opening early Northstar!
