It so happened during March of 2013 that Danny Davis was home in Lake Tahoe for a few days with Mark McMorris. I was passing through town in between other missions. With a quick coordination of schedules we decided on hiking up Donner Summit to build up a backcountry quarterpipe and made a day of it; complete with barbecue, beverages, bros and shovels.
Sure enough, the feature worked and the dudes threw down straight air tweakers, flips and spins; complemented by a healthy dose of media personnel and bros getting some with low flying maneuvers full of laughter, all under the campfire scent of delicious patties a cookin’.
The ingredients are there, and the recipe is simple. Snow, shovel, food, and friends—now go find a spot and put your own party together. Doesn’t have to be the deepest dump or biggest jump, but I guarantee it’ll rank right up there with your most epic days ever. ∆
