I started snowboarding in 2021 and really committed to the sport at the end of the 22/23 season. Since then I've focused on deliberate technique improvement — carving, edge control, and defensive riding — while seeking varied terrain from groomers to tree runs.
I plan multi-day trips when I can, and those longer sessions have been where I've learned the most: pacing, recovery, gear choices, and acclimating to different snow conditions. Snowboarding is both a physical challenge and a creative outlet; it helps me reset and approach engineering problems with renewed clarity.
