Checking in with Cheever Jonathan Cheever of US Snowboarding's SBX squad here in Veyzonnaz, Switzerland at the moment. A week ago, Alex Deibold, Graham Watanabe and myself flew over to Austria to get some pow riding in before our dual World Cup's in Switzerland. The rest of our team stayed behind in the States riding on ice while we were drowning in powder. This is a little different than the normal E-Blast. Sometimes riding pow recharges the batteries more than winning a race. So my wax secret for pow: make sure you aren't the slowest guy in your crew. That is usually not too fun. Even though it is only January 16th, I feel this winter is going to fly by. Through February 29th I am only scheduled to be home for 8 days. Rather than looking forward to the rest of my winter, I am trying to concentrate on these next races as I need to podium or I am not making it to my other events... or going into serious credit card debt. Well enough whining. Enjoy some of the photos from my five consecutive pow-days in Austria and wish me luck on my next few events. Cheever

Poma accessed natural hip... 1 min turn around
Same Poma.... But this is a small head wall. No one rides off piste here. 
Graham in front and me tailing. My goggles told me I have 2.112 seconds of hang time and hit this booter we built going 68.5 miles an hour. Photo: Alex Deibold |
