Bless me, shredfather, for I have sinned. It has been more than a week since I last hit a mountain to ride.
Given the average temperature sitting in single-digits all week and a Christmas excursion to the flatter part of the state, I haven't been able to get on a mountain this week, or at the very least wasn't willing to risk the frostbite.

In this week's case, I was able to speak with Richmond-native and proud veteran of the Bousquet slopes, Nate Haust. Earlier in December, Haust took first place in Killington's Rails 2 Riches event. Riding in the male snowboard division, Haust beat out 11 other finalists, including Vermont-locals Storm Rowe, Max Lyons and Tim Major. The prize: a sweet $5,000 chunk of the $25K awarded on the day.
