Western New York
The great lakes blessed us with an early snow season this year. Snow totals for a combined November and the first week of December were up to 75 inches. This is an amazing amount of for us to see at this time of year. Generally each year we get a few “Lake effect” storms that dump heavy loads of snow on our little zones allowing us to go hit all the features we can find.
These sessions took place with Snowboarders Jed Anderson, Will Lavigne, Chris Grenier, Ben Farrell, Cody Voit, Steve Pelc, Maxwell Scott, Ricky Bueler, Noah Hausknecht, Jay Emert and Matty Mo. Each of these riders brought a unique outlook, style and personal motivation to the table and it resulted in the best Western New York early season session I have witnessed.

- Sunday Sequence with Matty Mo | 12/14/08
Matty Mo is dropping more hammers than a construction site full of disgruntled hard hat workers. I have to say, I wasn’t surprised in any way about Matty’s skills. I watched one video of Matty from early season Mammoth and knew that we had to get him onto this street scene. Matty laid down numerous tricks on this long down rail, but none as smooth as his front board.
