Let’s Talk Snowboarding

CHAD WARREN | LET'S TALK SNOWBOARDING EPISODE 37

Born and raised in North Idaho our guest this week been a staple within the snowboarding community for years.  Chad Warren is a name that people know within our community.  Growing up in the Rathdrum area, Chad discusses his roots and introduction into Snowboarding.  As we all know, most Winters we have a fair amount of snow here locally (fingers crossed we end this winter better than it has started) and Chad started off like all of us messing around wherever he could find a spot to slide.  We get into his time with the Ski Shack snowboard team and some great stories and banter about team trips and chilling with the homies at our local mountains here in North Idaho.  Needless to say, Chad knows how to send it!  From shredding, to being a Carpenter by trade, to being awesome as a dad and getting out to shred with his family Chad lives life to the fullest and his energy is a vibe.  We are so stoked to get to chat with him and stoked to get out on the mountain to take some laps!  Thank you to all of you, the listeners, for your support and taking the time to tune in!  Hope you enjoy this week's episode!

KYLE SUHADOLNIK | LET'S TALK SNOWBOARDING EPISODE 36

Growing up in the Tri Cities area of southeast Washington there are few and far between places to Snowboard.  With Bluewood Mountain being the closest resort, our guest this week, Kyle Suhadolnik aka @nwskateflake got his start like most of us skateboarding.  Kyle started to enjoy sliding on snow as he continued to grow up and needless to say his move to Mount Hood was a no brainer.  Kyle has engrained himself within the community at Hood and is definitely a name that is known!  We talk about everything from his passion of filming and supporting the snowboard community to how his life has changed forever being a new dad.  It was great to banter with Kyle about what it means to be a Snowboarder to our core and all the great vibes at Mama Hood!  Thank you to everyone for tuning in!
