It’s been one of those winters for most of North America. The snowstorms have been light and far between. Riders await, anxiously glued to the weather channel and their computer screens, hoping that big storms will start popping up in the 10 day forecast. Despite significant snowfall in the extreme northwest most of the US has had a worse start to the winter than most of us can remember.

Thanks to the terrain parks though, we are able to stay engaged, using the lack of powder as a perfect excuse to hone jib and jump skills. As the first major pacific storms of 2012 begin to roll in, we look back to the early season snowpack and fun laps with Jiberish Snow Fam Joe Mango, Matt Walker, Andrew Hathaway and Dash Kamp.
