WHERE DO THEY GO...

.....AFTER WACHUSETT? So many riders grow up here in Ma. spending every waking day on the local slopes of Wachusett and Nashoba Valley. For smaller ski areas they still offer big time fun for the most part, but it always amazes me how many of them never leave their local hills and explore the great white North. No ..not Canada..just the mountains a couple hours away even. Every once in a while someone breaks the mold and actually gets the golden opportunity to live the dream and spend their winter just a bit outside the comforts of home in a snowboarding wonderland. Some of the old EB personalities spent many years up at Stratton in the "crack den", multiple heads gathered in the infamous Blue Lodge, and other crews made couch camping a total art winter after winter in these parts and out West. For 15 year old Nick Julius of Sterling, he's been lucky enough to have the support from his parents for the last couple years and packed up to live at Waterville Valley to be coached and primed by Bill Enos himself. Watervilles track record for helping mold some of New Englands best riders speaks for itself if you have done your homework, but who could be next? Nick? Who knows really..so much talent is tucked away in the mountains of New England weather you're coached or not. Either way you slice it every day on the snow is a good day no matter how you approach riding. Get it while it's here. ( clips of Nick above )
