My favorite thing about our snowboard team is that everyone is involved in such an awesome array of projects. Team rider Jeff Hopkins was just featured in Rome Snowboards latest release, One Jump, Clay Kinahan had his own web series, Fifty Shades of Clay, and now the trailer for Tyler Morton‘s latest project involvement just dropped, The MIDDLE/PATH Project. And now some words from the creator, Sean Fithian, since he is way more qualified to tell you about it. Cheers.
From Sean Fithian:
You can’t always get what you want- so the saying goes. Last winter we planned to spend the majority of our time in the PNW shredding powder and having a low impact on the environment. Changing climates and warm temperatures have become a fearful vision of the future. Last season that nightmare became reality. With winter being almost non existent and resorts shutting down by mid March, we had to search elsewhere. Through our travels, we hoped to acquire knowledge on the impacts of travel and consumption. Things such as how fossil fuels affect the world around us and what it really means to throw something away. The world is changing and the way we are living must change too. Through snowboarding we have a very deep connection to the planet and a desire for it to function properly. Each of us play a role and need to become more aware of the impacts we make. This was our journey along the Middle Path.
