This little guy was ready to get after it today, rain or shine! The right gear is all it takes to turn a wet day into a really fun one. Regardless, tomorrow looks a lot less wet. #hardcore #minishred #young #ski #snowboard #nomatterwhat

This was some of Mother Nature's contribution to the cause. We're still cranking out our own too. #letitsnow #ski #snowboard #upperleftusa #49N #washington

The snow was really piling up as the crew was working to finish the deck earlier today. Hopefully the next couple of days will treat us as well. #letitsnow #wewannaski #wewannasnowboard #49N

We're ready for another fantastic day on the mountain. Are you? #49N
