RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 2024 — ATHLETE BIOS

An opportunity like this could have taken her years to achieve. The athlete roster is packed with names you'll want on your radar—these riders are the future of backcountry snowboarding.

A Trollhaugen Christmas- Zeb's Pop Out Poem
‘Twas the night before the Pop Out and all through the house,
Not lots could be heard over Cacc’s blood curdling shouts;
The gang was crowded ‘round the table, looking forward to a festive feast,
Slapping down sixes and sevens, matching colors to compete.
The faux yule fire was burning, illuminating the Christmas Tree;
Packed neatly with wrapped presents, from Zeb’s sponsors to handout for free.
When the game comes to a close, and stomachs stuffed tightly;
They lay there in their beds, all neat and tidy.
