You Carve, You Carve, You Carve: The Asymmetrical Board Revolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
40 years ago, when racers were rockstars and carving ruled the day, an experimental technology was taking hold of snowboarding—born from the quest for the perfect turn. In this episode, Tricia and Jen dive deep into the explosion of asymmetrical snowboards in the late 80s. This movement was led by charismatic European rippers with a splashy “pastels and a ponytail” energy.

Snowboarding’s Crusade To Invade Ski Areas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the ’80s, a dispersed subset of renegade youth used all possible tactics to storm the gates of ski resorts amidst widespread snowboard bans. Today’s episode is that story.

Tricia and Jen dive in after downloading from a gang of Canadian legends. Up on the glacier circa ’92 few things were better than getting to see Marc Morisset, Kevin Young or Jamie Lynn bust. Wandering Whistler Village, young campers could see stars like Palmer and Salasnek, and certainly everyone wa
