Travis basically made a “north shore” snowboard run. Thankfully they chose to do it in the only area in America with snow this season.

Here’s a few photos from the pits during the Lites last chance.
Escondido Native (or somewhere nearby), Mike Williamson, gets Villopoto’s bike ready for the main.

Reed’s crew was dressed up in matching outfits. Very professional yet very funny.

Let me start this by saying I’ve worked with numerous European brands in the past, Atomic being the main one. They, like KTM, are from Austria. Check out how pro their pit looks compared to Kawi & Reed’s pits. Full plastic / rubber tiles, nice posters in the background, everything color coordinated. Such a Euro / Austrian thing, it’s good to see how serious they are about keeping Dungey at the front. 3 months ago, he’d only ridden a KTM a few times & now they’ve basically built a bike for him which is homologated / available for the public to buy.

She began her career in the 1920s designing ceramics in Germany, before eventually moving to Russia, where she was imprisoned after falsely being accused of plotting to assassinate Joseph Stalin. After being released she was deported to Austria, where in the 1930s she fled the Nazis by reportedly catching the last train out of town. She subsequently married Hanz Zeisel in England and boarded a ship to New York City, where she eventually taught ceramics at Pratt Institute in the ’40s. And in 1946 she broke new ground for female designers by having the first-ever one-woman show at the MoMA.

Think about that for a second. She was working in Germany BEFORE World War 1 and she released salt & pepper shakers 2 years ago.
