The Dark Side

Charlie fully committed to snowboarding this year and instantly was accepted as a member of the Dark Side. As two skiing parents, we're so thankful for the snowboard community that took him under their wings, and helped him progress as a rider. This caring community was on full display at this past weekend's Sugarloaf Banked Slalom, where Charlie, as the 2nd youngest rider, felt like the race was put on just for him. Thank you for helping him get into the start gate and cheering for him like he was a bigger deal than Seth Wescott. Despite the weather, this dude had the time of his life.
