I don't know enough words to explain why I love snowboarding. It's the first turn of the year. It's a lift line 2 hours before opening on a powder day. It's a springtime party lap with strangers. It's what grounds, what inspires, and what connects. I love snowboarding and everything it's given.
Eero is the guy that got me to try snowboarding. one time when we went to ruka with my family and on the car ride (7h car ride) i watched a video part that eero was a part of just for fun. my mom had a snowboard and i tried that one day on the hill. i was bad and still are but it was so much fun to try as skier. i havent tried it since because my moms board is too small for me and also because i ski and consider it as my main winter sport but i would love to try it again this winter and see if i have gotten any better (probably not). Great episode just so cool to hear what Eero has done over the years.
I think everyone knows the incredible feeling of riding down the slopes or hitting new spots, but what really makes snowboarding special to me is the community. Everyone I have ever met while riding has been so supportive. It’s incredible how people you’ve just met cheer you on when you land a new trick or help you out when you want to try something new. That shared excitement and positivity make every moment on the mountain special. Since I started snowboarding it took up a huge part of my life. I am even writing a term paper on the language used in snowboarding, focusing on how women sometimes adopt more masculine language in this male-dominated culture. So, for that thank you Bomb Hole, as I am using the podcast as my main source of data. But really, snowboarding has given me a sense of belonging and a thrill of progressing which I didn’t know I had in me. And that is why I love snowboarding.
Love some passionate writing about snowboarding and the community that is a part of it! Hopefully you can share your term paper with us after you submit it!
Love this episode and love snowboarding. Thank you to the bombhole and Eero for this awesome journey through his career. My first real snowboard was the Eero burger pro model when I was in grade 7. Love that thing so much and would be so stoked to get my hands on the release! Turning your brain off and being in the moment with your best friends, why we love snowboarding!
I love snowboarding because the beautiful places it's taken me, the people I get to do it with, and the freedom of expression that it provides. Thanks for another great ep, Eero seems like a real g.
Why I Love Snowboarding? Snowboarding isn't just about hitting the slopes; it's about the whole experience. Being out in the mountains gives me a sense of freedom and peace that's hard to find anywhere else. But even more than that, it's the connections I make along the way that keep me coming back. From riding with friends to supporting local core shops that live and breathe snowboarding, it's a community that feels like home. Every trip up the mountain is a chance to share great moments, push each other, and just enjoy the stoke together. That's what it's all about for me. Another great episode 👊🏽
I love snowboarding because when I'm on the mountain I'm just thinking about riding and what I'm going to do the next run. And at 45 years old I'm still able to push myself and progress. This was a great episode and Eero is a legend.
Yes, made it definitely this far. I remember seeing Eero the first time in Primevil, since I am from Switzerland, I of course, know this movie. I hope some Kid get's the board, that needs it. As far as I am concerned, I started snowboarding before 2000, but only took it seriously after the millennium. I skated first and in Switzerland we have a lot of snow in the winter so snowboarding followed right after starting skating. Nowadays, I am a father of two kids as well, and it's so fascinating how much I can resonate with the story of Eero. I still love snowboarding and seeing this Podcast is so inspiring. Gets me hyped even more for winter! Thank you all for this great community! Much love for everybody
I Love Snowboarding. checking the snow cam/ radar at 3am knowing its been pounding the night before. waking up early, making the coffee, rolling the joint, meeting up with friends or riding solo and making sure you get first chair or first light on a sick day. The feeling pointing it towards a side hit knowing your gunna go huge. A really proper feeling method. Soft soulful turns leading to a powerful slash, covering myself in A grade duff. Being so cold on a mega pow day, not giving a shit about frostbite, only to get frostbite and be still hyped on it. Spraying skiers, and getting yelled at by them afterwards. Hearing your homies cheer cause you got the clip. Eating shit to only get redemption. Finding new zones, working for hours to get there, just to take one run. Spending hours watching video parts only to evolve to watching hours of the bombhole. Working at a Radio boardshop the last 14 years to keep fueling my love for snowboarding and giving that fuel to anyone who walks in that door! Thank you Snowboarding. Thank you Bombhole. Thank you Eero, your parts are LEGEND.
Snowboarding is the ultimate lifelong teacher. As a kid I learned balance, grit, and commitment and ate a lot of shit on homemade backyard parks. My music taste was basically curated by whatever was in the videos. As an adult it taught it taught me about connection with people and nature and also challenged me with injury. Finally now taking my own kids up to the slope we shred together. Learning to love mini shred on the bunny slopes. I love seeing how the sport has changed and yet it’s pretty much the same. Enjoying sliding on snow with your buddies! Really stoked to watch Milestone soon. Keep shredding Eero! Highly motivating for us dads out there still trying.
Love this! Snowboarding has changed so much but at the same time that feeling of sliding on snow is timeless. Cheers to all the rad dads out there riding!
I love snowboarding because it's the only time I get to be 100% present in the moment. No wandering thoughts or stress get in the way, just pure focus on the next turn or bump in front of me. A lot of hobbies/obsessions have come and gone over my lifetime, but snowboarding has remained consistent. The ever evolving culture of snowboarding is something that's always resonated with me since I was a little kid, and I haven't found anything similar in another hobby.
Why I love snowboarding? I love the flow of it, the style, the exhilaration of nailing a couple of cool feeling tricks, of linking together a couple carves, some pow slashes, carving up a bank on the side of a trail. But sometimes the snow sucks or I suck, my tricks suck, but then there's the woods, the views, the fresh air, watching others tear it up and then there's building jumps and shaping. It's like the best compliment to riding! The best job. If you get cold or your riding sucks you can go hike or pick up a rake and start shaping, get some exercise and make those features nice and smooth.
I love snowboarding because the beauty of the mountains is like nothing else! We don’t have snow in England so taking a trip to a mountain is so special and feels good for my soul. Thank god we now have some snow domes so I can get on real snow every few months. Love ya Eero and Bombhole. My mind is always in the mountains when listening to ya.
Snowboarding is something that has offered me a passion to pursue and an escape from the worries in life. Falling leaf turns to the perfect S the journey is ongoing. I aim now to pass that love and passion on to my two small kids, and can only hope they find it as spiritual, I guess you can say, as I have. Thank you Bomb Hole and Eero for another great episode!
Why we love snowboarding.. Eero is the epitome… one of the most talented to ever grace our screens.. and now has the same love to spend it with the family. This is why we love it …from learning to ride pipe in your teens, to teaching our kids that first butter, 180 and high-fiving them with the widest smiles after their first epic powder run ☺️. The most special times in the mountains, together, with our oldest friends and from generation to generation…always ☺️
What I love about snowboarding is how I can bring a family together. You can build a love for a sport a hobby, a passion and then once you actually have a family, you can share with them and the joy it brings you your kids to snowboard like you, Chris just a little baby I have three kids, my favorite moments even riding my whole life I’ve been teaching my daughter and seeing the joy and her eyes and heart and now with the twin boys I just had three months ago. I can’t wait to teach them and share it with them and my wife and I and our three kids all right as a family, nothing beats seeing joy on your kids faces when they finally get it. That’s why I love snowboarding. I found something that I can share and bond with my family and it brings us all together.
Great episode! Eero is such a chiller man and who can get enough of that Finnish accent! Love snowboarding because it was one of the only ways I could free my mind of all the stresses and worries of day-to-day life. Truly one of best ways to escape and focus only on you, your board and the beautiful mountain ahead of you. Bless up team and huge congrats to Chris on the new chapter of life! Expecting my first next March and beyond pumped to share my passion with her.
Why I enjoy Snowboarding: It is as close to skateboarding as you can get. And Snowboard Videos are some of the most impressive cinematic masterpieces ever made.
I love snowboarding because it keeps me young, creative, hyped, and just overall happy. Lots of sweet things in life but there's nothing quite like snowboarding.
I love snowboarding because it gets me outside and active during the winter months and because I get to spend time with wife and 3 kids while doing it. I am also fortunate to go snowboarding with my dad a couple times a year.
My first day riding at resort i got this burger board from rental, was like 15-16 years ago but still remember it so vividly like it was yesterday! Eero the true OG of snowboarding, such inspiration ✊ great episode!
This interview was pure fire. I chanced skis in to snowboard in year 2001 and fell in love immedialety for snowboardin. We was riding in the near forest hill with my friends before i got to ride in the slopes. After many years snowboarding is been pig part of my life and i'ts still only reason why I'm waithing winter for every ear. It's the best thing that you can make with your pants on 🔥🔥💪
I love snowboarding. Its been a gateway to leave eveything behind an just be a kid again after starting at 26 years old. I almost missing the chance to go, my family helped me out to make it work. hired some gear, rode for 1 and a half days. Immediately bought a board, all my gear and a season pass here in Australia and have had the opportunity to travelled to New Zeland and Japan with many more mountains to go boarding in. I absolutely love the snowboarding culture and community. Now now working on becoming a Instructor to teach others to board so I can immerse myself into the mountains. The bombhole as been an amazing place for me to listern to all things snowboard and helped me through some tough times. love you all
I love snowboarding because sliding sideways can give you a lifetime of good times and shared hype between friends. Thanks for a great episode BH. Eero, what a legend.
Man I got hooked up to this podcast after my ACL surgery, just consuming every snowboard content out there. After my injury I was so depressed thinking I am never gonna be able to snowboard with confidence again just as getting hang of the tricks and shaping my style. Watching stories here giving me hope and motivation. Thanks a lot guys!!
Such a legendary Ep! Without sounding too cheesy I honestly have to thank Eero for my initial love for boarding. As a kid the first movie I had a copy was white balance, from that young impressionable age I would run back that video part over and over to the point where when I got my first iPod I’d blast “press rewind” while barely being able to link turns down the hill thinking I was the sickest 4th grader on the hill 😂 Fast forward years later and I’m not the best boarder by any means but when I throw a back rodeo on a park jump it’s all based off the impression Eero made for me growing up of what tricks were cool in my head. Too me his riding just showed maximum enjoyment on a board without doing things that looked forced and just the most simple bs 180 from him would make me so excited to go ride no matter what the conditions. What went from trying to copy someone to look cool has turned into the resort being my escape from everyday life and I can honestly say there is nothing like it. I only have a bout 4ish months of out season at my small local resort of mt Shasta but man those 4 months are what I look forward to most the entire year. Just knowing it’s about to be November again has me anxious to strap on that board and get back out there. Cheers to the pod for keeping me stoked until winter! Ps does anyone remember when Eero, Torstein and the Helgasons all had their own websites at the time dropping goofy little edits? Damn those were good times. I remember refreshing those sites over and over everyday after school.
Loved snowboarding ever since watching Technical difficulties in the late 90s. Been snowboarding ever since and am currently in the process of teaching my three kids to snowboard. Love the lifestyle, vibes and peace of being up in the mountains. Shoutout from Sweden and a fellow Viaplay colleague!
Snowboarding is freedom. It makes you feel alive, it gives you joy and happiness in what ever form or style you do it in. That's why I love it. Geat episode, thank you!
I love snowboarding because of the unique culture we have surrounding the sport and how it can feel like a family. When I meet someone who is really into snowboarding there seems to be an endless amount of conversation to have about it. Beyond that, the sport has influenced my whole life. Growing up and seeing transworld magazines has inspired much of the design work I do now.
I love snowboard because of the freedom it provides, while riding with people can bring an incredible sense of togetherness and community. Started riding as a kid with my dad and brother, now passing it on to my kids.
just watched MILESTONE + the documentary. too hardcore what you do, eero. hats off to that crazy dedication, but please for your own good start taking it more easy, when your knees are already THAT damaged. all the best to you man!! thanks for so much content
I love anowboarding because moving halfway across the country and being someone who finds it hard to make friends, moving out to Washington after school has been the best decision of my life, being surrounded by the culture, the people, and the positivity that snowboarding has to offer.
Man he got me into snowboarding and so did Danny Kass. Favorite part is just the crew and experiences you have with people who enjoy it as much as you do. He got me into oakley and butters. The butters transfered over into my skate popping nollie 270 back tails on small curbs but Eero easily my favorite!
I love snowboarding because it is the best. The feeling and emotions of anxiety when getting ready and hoping on the lift to peacefulness and tranquility when cruising through the trail is so unique. The worst day on snow is better than the best day off. BOOM!
I love snowboarding because it’s the purest form of living in the moment, really makes you appreciate all aspects from spending time with friends and getting away from stressful lives. Thanks nitro and the bomb hole! Cooking with Gas was my favorite web series growing up much love
This guy I know used to skate as a teen for like 5 years he was ok with the basic stuff, 180s, 360 flips, slides grinds, he started snowboarding last year at 43. He never smoked a cigarette in his life, always took care of his health, he goes shredding with 20 - 30 year olds, his progression is crazy, he´s doing 180s, 360s out of mid kickers already, nose slides, lib slides etc, he said in the beginning his groin was killing him for like 4 months and he felt sore often but now his body adapted and he is good, he might wear a bit more protection than the younger guys and stretches and does a bit yoga but he can hang and ride with them all day with no problem. . . it is never too late, just fxxxx do it.
"Man, I love snowboarding ‘cause it’s not just about shredding the mountain, it’s about the vibe with your crew. Nothing beats carving fresh powder with your buddies, laughing, pushing each other, and soaking in the epic views. Whether we’re hitting gnarly runs or just cruising, the whole experience is way more rad when you're riding with friends. It’s all about good times, good lines, and making memories out there." - Chat GPT
I love snowboard because it makes me forget about everyday problems. Is it just me and the mountian. I don't care about going alone to the resort, My weekend warrior ass knows that I will find friend on the snow. Love thebpodcast. You guys are the shit.
I love snowboarding because it connects me with my inner child! Adrenaline, exploration, travel, PEOPLE, and community; what’s not to love?!? Rock on Eero and NITRO, never stop goofing off!
Hannah Beaman said Eero Ettala was her most underrated rider and I agree. He’s an ATV like Sollars. Thanks BHole for the book recommendation of The Darkest White. I kinda thought Eero was going to mention Craig when you talked about working hard even when your hurt.
I love snowboarding because it's my preferred way of traveling this planet. Whether that's riding, traveling to mountains, checking out new locals or just hanging with the homies. Snowboarding is my life, I do everything for the joy I feel while gliding on snow!
I love snowboarding, just because i love everything that comes from it (love, laughs, friends, highs, lows, adrenaline, the lifestyle that comes with it all the likeminded friends i've made since 1991, the feeling you get from slashing and looking back at it and seeing the monster you created, being able to go up the lift and look at your trenches you did while carving and seeing a skier eat shit because of that same trench... It's not aways easy feeling the love when you come from Quebec ice, but it's always there and you appreciate it always more when you do get that 12'' dump a couple of times in a season... Also spraying skiers always gives me a smile...a tear even. I would love to give that spark back to my Girlfriend, she actually demoed the karma and loved it.
The reason I love snowboarding. I love snowboarding because it allows me to let go of stress and weight of my day to day life and be present with the real me. Every time I strap in to the bindings it’s a unique experience some times Im pushing my limits and proving to myself I can do more and be more. Yet other times I’m connecting and forging memories with life long friends and family. My love for snowboarding truly goes beyond just riding down the mountain. It goes to the community and culture that has made me feel welcome and be a place where I feel I can be myself. But it’s still more than that. My love for snowboarding is the reason I get out of bed every morning. It is my passion, my joy, my truth, but more than anything with out my love for snowboard I wouldn’t be who I’ve come to be.
I love snowboarding because when I put on my bibs and lace up my boots it’s like I’m suiting up for battle, snowboarding is the closest feeling to being a superhero that I can get!
Besides the feeling of freedom and opportunity to express myself, I love snowboarding because it makes me feel I belong to a rad community. I don't identify myself by nationality or any other personal preference, but as a snowboarder.
"at one month you can walk, at the second month, you can run, and by month three 'holy shit I'm playing badminton'" HAHA. Anyone remember which film was it they built the step up at Mount Hood Meadows? Trying to watch that part
Eero is the guy that got me to try snowboarding. one time when we went to ruka with my family and on the car ride (7h car ride) i watched a video part that eero was a part of just for fun. my mom had a snowboard and i tried that one day on the hill. i was bad and still are but it was so much fun to try as skier. i havent tried it since because my moms board is too small for me and also because i ski and consider it as my main winter sport but i would love to try it again this winter and see if i have gotten any better (probably not). Great episode just so cool to hear what Eero has done over the years.
BOOM!!!! Thank you Eero and Bombhole from all of us who love snowboarding!
Yes!!! Eero is one of the best to ever strap in! Absolute legend
Certified snowboard legend!
I don't know enough words to explain why I love snowboarding. It's the first turn of the year. It's a lift line 2 hours before opening on a powder day. It's a springtime party lap with strangers. It's what grounds, what inspires, and what connects. I love snowboarding and everything it's given.
43 later this year, Eero is such an inspiration, still trying to learn new tricks and not get broke off! Thank you Bombhole, love the show!!
Much love!

One of the most underrated riders of all time. Loved his Mack Dawg parts, used to watch em for breakfast every morning in the 00s
I think everyone knows the incredible feeling of riding down the slopes or hitting new spots, but what really makes snowboarding special to me is the community. Everyone I have ever met while riding has been so supportive. It’s incredible how people you’ve just met cheer you on when you land a new trick or help you out when you want to try something new. That shared excitement and positivity make every moment on the mountain special. Since I started snowboarding it took up a huge part of my life. I am even writing a term paper on the language used in snowboarding, focusing on how women sometimes adopt more masculine language in this male-dominated culture. So, for that thank you Bomb Hole, as I am using the podcast as my main source of data. But really, snowboarding has given me a sense of belonging and a thrill of progressing which I didn’t know I had in me. And that is why I love snowboarding.
Love some passionate writing about snowboarding and the community that is a part of it! Hopefully you can share your term paper with us after you submit it!
@@TheBombHole definitively will do so
Love this episode and love snowboarding. Thank you to the bombhole and Eero for this awesome journey through his career. My first real snowboard was the Eero burger pro model when I was in grade 7. Love that thing so much and would be so stoked to get my hands on the release! Turning your brain off and being in the moment with your best friends, why we love snowboarding!
Scandinavia Warrior!!! So glad to see his triumph return!!!
Stoked to have him in studio for this one! We're considering Eero in the booth a milestone for us too!
I love snowboarding because the beautiful places it's taken me, the people I get to do it with, and the freedom of expression that it provides.
Thanks for another great ep, Eero seems like a real g.

Another great episode 👊🏽
I love snowboarding because when I'm on the mountain I'm just thinking about riding and what I'm going to do the next run. And at 45 years old I'm still able to push myself and progress. This was a great episode and Eero is a legend.
Truth! Rad thing about snowboarding is you can progress in some way with your riding at any age!
Yes, made it definitely this far. I remember seeing Eero the first time in Primevil, since I am from Switzerland, I of course, know this movie. I hope some Kid get's the board, that needs it.

Truly one of best ways to escape and focus only on you, your board and the beautiful mountain ahead of you.
Bless up team and huge congrats to Chris on the new chapter of life!
Expecting my first next March and beyond pumped to share my passion with her.
Man this is one of the most influential riders to mewhen I was starting out. So pumped you guys had Eero on.
Loved hearing from Eero and congrats on the baby Chris!
Much love!

Easy selection for Rider of the Year. Incredible part and inspo to all old heads to keep it going
Also my GOAT.
We think MILESTONE is major inspo for all the riders out there!
Such a legendary Ep! Without sounding too cheesy I honestly have to thank Eero for my initial love for boarding. As a kid the first movie I had a copy was white balance, from that young impressionable age I would run back that video part over and over to the point where when I got my first iPod I’d blast “press rewind” while barely being able to link turns down the hill thinking I was the sickest 4th grader on the hill 😂
Fast forward years later and I’m not the best boarder by any means but when I throw a back rodeo on a park jump it’s all based off the impression Eero made for me growing up of what tricks were cool in my head. Too me his riding just showed maximum enjoyment on a board without doing things that looked forced and just the most simple bs 180 from him would make me so excited to go ride no matter what the conditions.
What went from trying to copy someone to look cool has turned into the resort being my escape from everyday life and I can honestly say there is nothing like it. I only have a bout 4ish months of out season at my small local resort of mt Shasta but man those 4 months are what I look forward to most the entire year. Just knowing it’s about to be November again has me anxious to strap on that board and get back out there. Cheers to the pod for keeping me stoked until winter!
Ps does anyone remember when Eero, Torstein and the Helgasons all had their own websites at the time dropping goofy little edits? Damn those were good times. I remember refreshing those sites over and over everyday after school.
This rules! Love that Eero has been inspiring so many generations of riders out there!
Loved snowboarding ever since watching Technical difficulties in the late 90s. Been snowboarding ever since and am currently in the process of teaching my three kids to snowboard. Love the lifestyle, vibes and peace of being up in the mountains. Shoutout from Sweden and a fellow Viaplay colleague!
Shout out to you for teaching the next generation of riders!
Snowboarding is freedom. It makes you feel alive, it gives you joy and happiness in what ever form or style you do it in. That's why I love it. Geat episode, thank you!
Much love!
I love snowboarding because of the unique culture we have surrounding the sport and how it can feel like a family. When I meet someone who is really into snowboarding there seems to be an endless amount of conversation to have about it. Beyond that, the sport has influenced my whole life. Growing up and seeing transworld magazines has inspired much of the design work I do now.
I love snowboard because of the freedom it provides, while riding with people can bring an incredible sense of togetherness and community. Started riding as a kid with my dad and brother, now passing it on to my kids.
Love to hear you're getting the next generation involved with snowboarding!
just watched MILESTONE + the documentary. too hardcore what you do, eero. hats off to that crazy dedication, but please for your own good start taking it more easy, when your knees are already THAT damaged. all the best to you man!! thanks for so much content
I love anowboarding because moving halfway across the country and being someone who finds it hard to make friends, moving out to Washington after school has been the best decision of my life, being surrounded by the culture, the people, and the positivity that snowboarding has to offer.
Man he got me into snowboarding and so did Danny Kass. Favorite part is just the crew and experiences you have with people who enjoy it as much as you do. He got me into oakley and butters. The butters transfered over into my skate popping nollie 270 back tails on small curbs but Eero easily my favorite!
Legenda!
From one legend to another!
Landed on Mack Dawg!!! Unreal
I love snowboarding because it is the best. The feeling and emotions of anxiety when getting ready and hoping on the lift to peacefulness and tranquility when cruising through the trail is so unique. The worst day on snow is better than the best day off. BOOM!
I love snowboarding because it’s the purest form of living in the moment, really makes you appreciate all aspects from spending time with friends and getting away from stressful lives. Thanks nitro and the bomb hole! Cooking with Gas was my favorite web series growing up much love
Much love! Love the feeling of being present in the turn
This guy I know used to skate as a teen for like 5 years he was ok with the basic stuff, 180s, 360 flips, slides grinds, he started snowboarding last year at 43. He never smoked a cigarette in his life, always took care of his health, he goes shredding with 20 - 30 year olds, his progression is crazy, he´s doing 180s, 360s out of mid kickers already, nose slides, lib slides etc, he said in the beginning his groin was killing him for like 4 months and he felt sore often but now his body adapted and he is good, he might wear a bit more protection than the younger guys and stretches and does a bit yoga but he can hang and ride with them all day with no problem. . . it is never too late, just fxxxx do it.
So good to hear Eero’s story. His nitro boards were always so sick back in the day
So cool they did a reissue of the burger board for his 20th anniversary with Nitro!
Nitro does it right
Lovely, so nice to listen to Eeros story, beatiful human so humane and hell of a snowboarder!
Stoked to have him in the studio to share his story!
"Man, I love snowboarding ‘cause it’s not just about shredding the mountain, it’s about the vibe with your crew. Nothing beats carving fresh powder with your buddies, laughing, pushing each other, and soaking in the epic views. Whether we’re hitting gnarly runs or just cruising, the whole experience is way more rad when you're riding with friends. It’s all about good times, good lines, and making memories out there." - Chat GPT
Yo! What a legend !!!! People need to get familiar 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Certified snowboard legend!
I love snowboarding because there's pure love in snowboarding itself. It's like a battery to recharge my ability to love 💕
I love snowboard because it makes me forget about everyday problems. Is it just me and the mountian. I don't care about going alone to the resort, My weekend warrior ass knows that I will find friend on the snow. Love thebpodcast. You guys are the shit.
Ty Eero, your 40th edit inspires me to get clips! Also, big nice burgundy Navigator 👀 … show us the base!
MILESTONE was truly a milestone for video parts! And you'll have to stay tuned on that thing behind Chris' head
I love snowboarding because it connects me with my inner child! Adrenaline, exploration, travel, PEOPLE, and community; what’s not to love?!?
Rock on Eero and NITRO, never stop goofing off!
Snowboarding is a great source of pure fun!
Hannah Beaman said Eero Ettala was her most underrated rider and I agree. He’s an ATV like Sollars.
Thanks BHole for the book recommendation of The Darkest White. I kinda thought Eero was going to mention Craig when you talked about working hard even when your hurt.
Snowboarding is the best time to put down the phone and just go OFFLINE! Have a rad time with your pals and just be present in the moment
True! Shout out to Nitro's "OFFLINE" snowboard video!
I love snowboarding because it's my preferred way of traveling this planet. Whether that's riding, traveling to mountains, checking out new locals or just hanging with the homies. Snowboarding is my life, I do everything for the joy I feel while gliding on snow!
It's a magical vehicle for exploration for beyond getting you down the mountain!
I love snowboarding, just because i love everything that comes from it (love, laughs, friends, highs, lows, adrenaline, the lifestyle that comes with it all the likeminded friends i've made since 1991, the feeling you get from slashing and looking back at it and seeing the monster you created, being able to go up the lift and look at your trenches you did while carving and seeing a skier eat shit because of that same trench... It's not aways easy feeling the love when you come from Quebec ice, but it's always there and you appreciate it always more when you do get that 12'' dump a couple of times in a season... Also spraying skiers always gives me a smile...a tear even. I would love to give that spark back to my Girlfriend, she actually demoed the karma and loved it.
I love snowboarding because it brings like minded people together 🏂🏽
Truth! Love our greater snowboard family
The In-N-Out hype was real!
Had to pause recording to chow down haha
Why do I love snowboarding? Controlled chaos.

Sometimes the best times are the chaotic times
I love snowboarding because it is something I can't do every day. It makes me wait for the weekend and it is something to live for...
The need to ride ride!
MY GOAT. LOVE YOU, EERO
He's so rad!
The Golden Era of snowboarding! 🙏🏻
Some might call it the Eero Era
The reason I love snowboarding. I love snowboarding because it allows me to let go of stress and weight of my day to day life and be present with the real me. Every time I strap in to the bindings it’s a unique experience some times Im pushing my limits and proving to myself I can do more and be more. Yet other times I’m connecting and forging memories with life long friends and family. My love for snowboarding truly goes beyond just riding down the mountain. It goes to the community and culture that has made me feel welcome and be a place where I feel I can be myself. But it’s still more than that. My love for snowboarding is the reason I get out of bed every morning. It is my passion, my joy, my truth, but more than anything with out my love for snowboard I wouldn’t be who I’ve come to be.
Love this!
I love snowboarding because every day I ride I end up more stoked to ride again…it’s an expanding stoke that nothing else in life has given me
Snowboarding is a stoke enhancer
I love snowboarding cause it just takes you away from everything ❤
Mt hood in 2002
I❤wood!
Shout out to all the wood jibs out there!
I love snowboarding because when I put on my bibs and lace up my boots it’s like I’m suiting up for battle, snowboarding is the closest feeling to being a superhero that I can get!
It's like armor against snow
I love snowboarding because it keeps my dream alive. And I have good memories drinking spotted cow and overshooting jumps with the boys.
Great episode. Can we get Tim Eddy on the pod??

Good way to put it!

Thanks for watching!
Pow Days < Pow Days with homies. Shakas, handshakes, hugs, and high fives all day!
Truth!
Besides the feeling of freedom and opportunity to express myself, I love snowboarding because it makes me feel I belong to a rad community. I don't identify myself by nationality or any other personal preference, but as a snowboarder.
2:38:07 Snowboarding is freedom, that’s why I love it
Love it!
Bottle cap to the dome classic Eero Hi jinx

once I saw that death defying rodeo indy over a gigantic building to building gap I verbally said "this guys *crazy* ". All those spots were juicy
Wild to know Eero has gone back to some roof gaps multiple times for multiple tricks!
Why I love snowboarding?
I don't know, man, I just get that feeling...
Just that snowboard feeling, you know the one
Love snowboarding because it is the healthiest and the be(a)st addiction to have on the globe 🌐 also really good to do with friends 🔨 🔨🔨
Fun for all!
"at one month you can walk, at the second month, you can run, and by month three 'holy shit I'm playing badminton'" HAHA.
Anyone remember which film was it they built the step up at Mount Hood Meadows? Trying to watch that part
Check out Eero's part in Mack Dawg's "Follow Me Around" for the step up jump clips! Find a link to the video in the show notes on our site!
I love snowboarding because you can spray skiers

Jon Hill's favorite snowboarder. Rip Jon
Eero is the guy that got me to try snowboarding. one time when we went to ruka with my family and on the car ride (7h car ride) i watched a video part that eero was a part of just for fun. my mom had a snowboard and i tried that one day on the hill. i was bad and still are but it was so much fun to try as skier. i havent tried it since because my moms board is too small for me and also because i ski and consider it as my main winter sport but i would love to try it again this winter and see if i have gotten any better (probably not). Great episode just so cool to hear what Eero has done over the years.
