A Month Visiting America

Photos & story by Austrian team rider Josh Absenger



I enjoyed 1 Month in Lake Tahoe and Mt. Hood Oregon. I started the trip with 3 friends one fotographer and a filmer at the 2nd of april. After 2 days visiting San Francisco, the Fam went to Tahoe Vista. Our Cabin, called Cozy Cabin was just awesome. We partied just a few times there-haha!

Scene of the Winter Olympics Squaw Valley and Northstar were the targets of us.
Let´s talk about Squaw. This Resort offers a small but fine Terrainpark. Included are a small beginner kickerline, pro kickerline, superpipe, railgarden, and a jibpark.



Second park was Northstar at Tahoe. Norstar has an inmense number of fun obstacle like staircases, cars to slide, a lot of different rails, and a few good kickers. The run ends with an amazing superpipe. Great!



After 3 weeks we decided to drive to Mt. Hood Oregon. A snowstorm brought cold temperatures and a landscape like in a deep winter. We was waiting 4 better, but there was no improvement in the weather. I flight back to sunny California. A Giants Game was in the Art Park in San Francisco. It was such a burner.

See you next Winter in Cali.
