Check out this little video from Loon Mtn New Hampshire. Loon is actually my home mountain. Ok, maybe not my home mountain now since I live 3,000 miles away in Oregon but it once was. Before starting Airblaster and making the move out west I spent many fine years at Plymouth State College in northern NH. Loon and Waterville where our spots, our daily shred and our escape from the madness that is college life. Actually many powerful people in the snow business once called Loon home. Lets check out the list.
- One owner and brain behind High Cascade Snowboard Camp was a Plymouth local.
- One recently retired Ride Snowboards pro was a Loon local
- One founder and head of Yobeat.com was a Plymouth local(only for one year before she defected back to Vermont!)
- Many of the brains behind Transworld and Snowboard Magazines where once Loon/NH locals
- One Oakley big wig was not only a Plymouth student but was way into long boards! I think he is over that one.
- Two NH/Loon locals now have pro models on brands like Salomon and Forum
- The list really goes on and on. Loon/NH is a major part of the snow business for some reason. Maybe it is just in our blood. Or maybe it is just that the East is so crowded that there are just better odds that people will move on to bigger and better things in the business. Whatever the case Loon rocks and so does this video. In my day we had great jumps but not as many great jibs, things look amazing there these days. Great work guys and thanks for the video!
