The last three days have been the Burton Mountain Festival at Northstar. This year they cut out the Pro-Test contest so it was just a couple days of demos and contests that didn’t exist or something (the Know-Buddy contest was going on- apparently prizes were being handed out randomly in the park for tricks.)
I tried out a bunch of different set ups during the weekend and I’ll be posting reviews on them soon.

I also hung out with the guys (and girls) who travel with the tour and they were super awesome. We rode, hung out, blah blah blah, whatever. They were all super cool and it was neat to learn about their jobs traveling around to all the mountains. Hopefully I’ll see some of my new friends again before next year!

The Burton Store in the village also held a contest throughout the weekend. There was a thirteen item scavenger hunt and each item had to be photographed and emailed to the store.

Probably the best part of the weekend was getting to see my old friend James again. We had awesome times together back at Mt. Hood two summers ago but I hadn’t seen him since. Catching up with him, partying, and playing on our snowboards was a rad surprise.

The Burton Mountain Festival was another incredible reminder of how fortunate I am to do what I do. Some people come to Tahoe one week a year for a vacation. I get to live people’s vacations every day. Too many good times, and too many friends.
