Back to basics

By: Paul Gemignani

Well ever since I broke my elbow off in December, it's been a slow process of getting back into the swing of things with snowboarding; especially the backcountry. In order to take the backcountry on, you have to be in pretty good shape, have your avalanche skills dialed, a good crew and the right conditions. The variables are crazy hard to line up all in a row, and there are many frustrating days in the backcountry - but it's were I feel the most at home on a snowboard. This past week has finally been the start of getting back into the deep snow, and it feels good to be outside again exploring. Go get your own now. Cheers!
