The white fluffy snow is finally here!!! The weather is a little chilly here in beautiful California and the mountains are capped with hella snow. We are truly blessed to live in such an amazing place where we can snowboard, wakeboard, skate, surf, and even do all four in one day. Relocating the crew out of the boat and onto the mountain is one of our favorite times of the year. Everyone heads to the mountain with their holiday cheer while anxiously waiting to shred the mountain.

This year the crew decided to celebrate the new year in beautiful Lake Tahoe. We lucked out with gorgeous weather and great snow. During the night the snow would fall and would clear up by the morning, creating perfect conditions for shredding. We rode 6 days in a row and ended the trip with our new years eve festivities. We hope everyone had the chance to get on a board at least once during your holiday vacation!

Although 2009 was a little rocky for most people, we are exited to have a fresh start in 2010 and looking forward to a progressive and awesome year. Have a Happy New Year J WSR . For more wsr updates check out www.westsideriders.net , www.liquidforcemaven.com , and www.melissamarquardt.com .
