    In this snowboard video we're hiking in Stevens Pass to explore secret powder zones. This is our first day the sun has come out here at Stevens Pass. This has made it much easier for exploring and searching out these secret powder zones. The hiking area at Stevens was a bit hazardous because some of the zones have hidden cliffs and some areas that get flat and possibly stuck with your snowboard. The best powder snowboarding line of the day was actually our last hike when we found some untouched powder through the trees. My overall impression of hiking at Stevens Pass is that there are some incredible powder good but also some Hazards to respect and be cautious of. Thanks for watching!

    another great vid. Question... Thinking about how you are scoping the mountain and thinking about your line, how effective could a small drone be to pop up and check the hazards before going for it? Something like the DJI Spark or MavicMini? Not for filming purposes (although that avenue opens up) but a quick flight to get the lay of the land could get you into some great lines with less risk?

    Hey guys, as you ride the Orca in the video, I was wondering what your take is on that board. I'm currently on a Burton Flight Attendant 162w. It works well in pow, but I sometimes find it hard to ride FA on piste, especially if it gets a bit icy, as it feels a bit stiff and overall not super responsive. Would the Orca be a good alternative in your opinion? Would be great if you could find the time for a response. Have a great winter 🤙
