A couple quick pics from avy 1 at CPC

Finally took my avy 1 class this weekend at Cascade Powder Cats.  Cool crew out there, had a real ‘core’ feel to it as all the employees were definitely snow stoked individuals, and they all pitch in to keep the operation running – including doing maintenance on the vehicles.

Didn’t take many action shots this weekend as I was too busy paying attention to the instructors, but snapped a few random pics.

A few custom 09/10 Never Summer splitboards

A few custom split 09/10 Never Summer boards.  Check out the die cut bases, they do a NICE job lining the graphics up!  Linked to their website for additional info on the models, but as the boards on site are 08/09 models, and given the current rocker revolution, I’d imagine there are differences between the model years.

Beautiful work by the boys though!
