No, as I recall you were one of the few who actually ate at the hotel. Have a good 2012.

Martin, It’s great to hear from you and that you are still shredding. I have so many great memories of Garmisch. Luckily they are not all of McDonalds.

Hello Chris,

I dug your style as a snowboarder back then and you have a cool blog. We met shortly on a summer camp in Garmisch, Germany in 1997 (?). I was the right hand of the local manager, called Black, and helped organize the K2 board test center on the glacier. I was blown away by the fact I hung out with you guys from the movies (but it was terrible to see that most of the US guys didnt like the really delicious German food served at the hotel and went to McDonalds instead every day). I am still riding and me and my friends are still trying hard to become reasonable freeride/freestyle snowboarders. Its still the same as it used to be. At the age of 30, my friend just broke his wrist a month ago while frist-trying the medium kicker line of Stubai glacier park. He is well again now and we will go shredding soon. Hope you will too.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Aaron,

Stoked to hear you liked the board. They were definitely quality. You might want to try Eternal Snowboard Shop in Sparks Nevada. They may still have a couple in their warehouse.

Cheers,

Chris

Hey Chris,

I’ve spent the last 5 years riding your Elevation Movement Eagle design snowboard that some friends gave to me my senior year of highschool. I’ve ridden from Montana to Whistler to the Alps and now back home to the Rockies. I joined up with the newly formed snowboard patrol at Discovery Ski Area outside of Philipsburg MT and I have to admit, I think I’ve finally killed the board. The pop is lost and basewelds fill the bottom, though I still ride it for avalanche cutting and as my rock board, I must say after trying everything from Burton to LibTech that I have found nothing better to replace it. I was wondering if you could help me out, if you maybe have or know someone who has a 158 lying around begging to be ridden. There are few things that I have found good and true and this board is one of them.

Let it snow,

Aaron
