"his own fingerprint into the steep pitch of the mountain"
Follow RJ
To some, a ride down the mountain is a sport, to others an adrenaline rush, but to RJ, it is something more unique.
Carving lines into unexplored territories, winding a path through the trees, standing at the peak taking in the smells of the pines- For RJ snowboarding is a spiritual experience.
From the quiet moments of reflection as the sunshine thaws him while he sits on the chairlift to the escalating thrill of fast lines and catching air on the route down, RJ is addicted to the emotional connection to riding.
“Riding for me is about living in the moment. It is an outlet of expression.”
To him, there is nothing like the awakening sting of cold air as he glides through fresh powder, or the thrill of picking his line, as if to draw his own fingerprint into the steep pitch of the mountain.
There is nowhere he feels more free or more at home.
