Team Update: Vanessa Aadland in AK
What do you do for spring break? Well if you were evo Team Athlete Vanessa Aadland you go skiing. Not just at the local hill or jib park though, we’re talkin’ AK. Alaska buddy. Vanessa made the trip up to AK with no plans and high hopes. Things don’t always turn out how you plan but if you keep your head on a swivel you can make the best out of any situation. Check out Vanessa’s Alaskan Adventure Summary below.
Women of Winter Backcountry Event Recap
The “Women of Winter” landed in the Pacific Northwest last weekend for 2 days of an intro backcountry safety and awareness course that included a meet & greet at evo in Seattle and an on hill portion at Crystal Mountain. Ive never seen so many women, nor heard as many laughs on a mountainside all at once as i did this last Saturday… quite a thing to see and to be a part of!

Last weekend the Summit at Snoqualmie was a holy place. The Holy Oly Revival took place on a massive quarterpipe and the air miles being logged were ridiculous. Enough to fly to Portugal probably. While we weren’t able to attend to give you the firsthand write up, our buddies at Yobeat were. Check out their recap and video coverage of one of the most important contests/gatherings in the Northwest.
We were able to snag some results though, and Northwest shredders represented in the fullest.
