urban snowboarding

[miller]

Since moving away from the mountians and not working at a ski hill, I have taken up back country snowboarding. I have found some awesome spots and yesterday a buddy came along. After three hikes he is dead and mentions that we should do some tow ins. He then mentions that he has always wanted to snowboard around town. I grab my wake rope and we are off. We hit up a couple small towns and it was just like skateboarding down the street - jumping anything in our path, grinding ledges, hitting snowbanks. So fun because it was something different.

How do you get creative with riding?

I live in SLC, so when theres enough snow in the valley there are plenty of good handrails and spots,

with that said, i'd rather do a street spot than ride park any day.

SLWK, yeah but not just whip into spots but keep hanging on and hit a bunch of stuff in a line

understood. sounds fun! theres some fun lines at rail gardens.. but finding a cool spot, setting it up and doing a unique trick is how i get creative
