The early 2023/24 winter season was not the best for many places throughout North America, and that extends to the Northwest. So rather than wait around and watch the storms not swing through, Lib Tech snowboarders Kai Huggin, Brayden Charrette, Matteo Soltane, and Phil Hansen hit the road. Kai, Brayden, and Matteo took their boards to Tahoe, meeting up with some friends along the way, while Phil turned his attention toward Utah. There’s nothing wrong with running away from bad conditions to find some gnarly powder.
“After a challenging start to the 23/24 NW winter Lib Rippers Kai Huggin, Brayden Charrette and Matteo Soltane went on the run meeting Devin Tubbs down in Tahoe for some Sierra storms. Tim Zimmerman guided them into Grenade era zones and Al Grogan facilitated and filmed until he got into a fight with a snowmobile and handed the reins over to Matteo to finish the trip.
Meanwhile Phil Hansen was a runner himself heading down Wasatch way to dissect Utah lines and kickers with friendly filmers Kevin and Ely. With a healthy stack from each zone the crews headed home to catch a big storm at Baker, but that’s a different story…(watch Boardslide Worldwide “2 Feet At 8 Seconds” to hear it!)“
