EP38 First Chair

I’ve been spending a lot of time on my snowboard… In The Mystic Mountains – scoring Fresh Pow turns with my friends…  It’s one of my favorite things in life to do… It’s a unique and addictive feeling that I call…  “FIRST CHAIR” And if you have ever had the chance to be on the first chair lift after a fresh dump of snow – you know what I’m talking about… You’re on a mission - you get up early, you get after it… You beat the crowds, get in line, grab that first chair and score the best run of your life… It’s a connection with nature and gravity, in sucha way that it becomes a spiritual experience. Last week, I had one of the best snowboarding trips of my life… There were no chairlifts and there were no people – just me and my 1910 Homies - it was glorious.  We had A snowcat drive us into the backcountry, drop us at the top of the mountain and send us down virgin snow runs - for 8 hours… It was that FIRST CHAIR feeling all day long!!! It was an epic mission and we scored! So, for today’s show, I’m taking you guys with me, to relive that mission… I’m taking you guys on a So sonic snowboard trip. And as you listen to the tracks…, I want you to imagine… driving in my car, it’s early morning and we’re listening to the mellow flow of Khruangbin, Mark Farina and the Bahama soul club… Driving through the Eastern Sierra, sipping tea and coffee, witnessing the majestic   alpine glow of the morning sunrise. And so, begins our snowboarding adventure…
