TOP LEFT “Cannon Cummins may have excellent genetics when it comes to snowboard-ing, but in recent years he’s developed a style all his own. On this deep day at the end of March, he eyed up this new approach to a reasonably well-known spot and floated the gap to sniper landing on the lower pillow. He looped out in the runout, but I imagine he’ll flow it next time.” Photo: Colin Wiseman TOP RIGHT Jacqui Shaffer finishes a late-January day with one more overhead turn. Photo: Colin Wiseman LOWER LEFT “New Year’s Eve was hectic—a foot-plus of fresh on top of a weeklong storm and the crowds to go with it. After a few inbounds laps, we bailed to a quieter backcountry zone. Mary Rand, pillow stacking in relative silence.” Photo: Colin Wiseman MIDDLE RIGHT “Like father, like son? Cannon Cummins leads, Temple Cummins follows sometimes these days. It was great to link with the Cummins clan, Alex Lopez and Forest Bailey for a few lift-serviced days and a few Arm laps in March.” Photo: Colin Wiseman BOTTOM “The Sarge is always in charge. When you see Patrick McCarthy coming, you know he’s going to bring the stoke. Late-afternoon snapshot as he passes by to a booter beyond our drop-in spot.” Photo: Colin Wiseman MT.
