Crew Chronicles | 2008 Vans Cup at Tahoe

After a long week of riding everyday hard in Big Bear let’s make an 8-hour trip up to North Lake Tahoe.  For this weekend we will be attending the 2008 Vans Cup held at Northstar. After a quick stop in Mammoth, Andrew Miller and I got there Friday night just in time to see the whole rail jam contest.  Then of course finding where the free beer was and we helped polish off the keg. This was the first night for me meeting Mark Dangler, the snowrev.com filmer and and long time photographer guru George Crossland. Two rad guys that make me pumped that I now get to work with, myself being a new member to the snowrev crew.  Our weekend for the most part started out pretty mellow. We stayed in a sick hotel right on the beach of Lake Tahoe so we could have an early morning for the stacked slopestyle contest. That night we went pretty big. The Snowboarder magazine party held at the Biltmore was like any other after party with plenty of dudes, not very many chicks, and plenty of booze. Trevor Andrew held it down for the music performance at the bar. After a while I ended up losing Andrew and Mark.  Luckily I had some friends that let me crash at their pad, thanks Garrity. So that night was pretty fun, giving me a solid hangover for Sundays halfpipe contest. Then a long drive back to Utah to ride some pow the next day. Check the photos and you’ll see how our little trip went.
