CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Austen Sweetin in interior BC. What do you live for? Travis Rice has been around helicopters so much in his life that he has gone a little deaf—he always has the muffs on now. No matter what he does he always goes harder, faster, bigger and better than everybody else—even when juggling snowballs in Galena, BC. Living in the Eastern Sierra you quickly learn to embrace the wind. It blows, and it blows hard. It comes with fury from most all directions and dictates everything on the mountain. After living here for a while, you start to notice which zones get good during certain directions of wind. But when you see the dreaded northeast winds whipping off the peaks after a storm, you know it’s going to be hard to find some soft snow. Luckily, if there is any powder on the mountain you know Jimmy Goodman will find it. Mammoth Mountain, CA. 092 THE SNOWBOARDER’S JOURNAL
