The Burn Units crew sent this over and we wanted to share with everyone! Backcountry at night is SWEET!
From Burn:
“This planet is alive. If only we could know what it knows, see what it sees. Sometimes you feel like it’s trying to tell you something, showing you where to look, how to see. Lighting up the darkness ahead, illuminating your soul.”
Burn is honoured and excited to present ‘Alive’, featuring The Burn Units, a rider-led initiative headed by the legendary Austrian snowboarder Gigi Rüf, star of many a Pirate Movie Production and hands-down one of the most stylish riders on the planet. In ‘Alive’ Gigi is joined by fellow Burn Units riders Norwegian freestyle prodigy Ståle Sandbech and ultra-smooth French sensation Arthur Longo.

Windells Academy student Nick Goepper visited Mount Snow this week to help out with the Skills Enhancement Camp, presented by Mount Snow, Windells Academy, and the Matterhorn Inn. Mount Snow’s Grom Fest was a huge success and Nick was there to give a helping hand. The event was sponsored by Dalbello Ski Boots, Marker, Smith Optics, and two of Nick Goepper’s own sponsors, Volkl and Under Armour. “It’s very cool to be able to inspire and give back. Nick looks so big, but he’s really not so much older than some of them!” said David Currier of Smith Optics. High fives all around to the Groms for flying down the mountain, Nick Goepper for giving some expert tips, and the sponsors for making the event a success!

Nicole sat with us for an interview to talk about competitions, skating, the future, and what songs on her playlist get her stoked to ride.
