Chris rejoins Brian and Matt to recap the last episode on “chatter,” Rogers shares a Europe trip with Head Snowboards for 27/28 product testing that delivered an April powder day, helped him recognize season burnout, and renewed his stoke; the group discusses motivation during poor conditions and valuing community over snow quality. Donovan describes squeezing in two quick Copper laps with the Rider Rally/National Academy crew amid travel and road challenges. They read listener emails: Miles S passing his Level 3 teach at Mammoth, Jamie W’s detailed “Dirt vs TID” note to revisit, and John James’ binding highback-rotation feedback, sparking a debate and a “cut two, keep three” snowboard tech game. Matt adds a plug for a summer Chile carving camp at carvingtheandes.com.
