I met Chris more than 10 years ago in Bariloche, Argentina, my hometown. Couldn't be more stoked since somebody that rode Alaska, jumped over halfpipes and attacked every feature with determination and heavy feet was lurking into the terrain we have down here in Patagonia.
A couple hellos, chit chat and some valley to valley cheering when I saw him rip some cool lines, but nothing more until today. And what a treat it was, definitely assuring my idea that Chris is a great person and somebody committed to snowboarding 100%.
We talk not only about his stand out parts through his snowboard carreer, but most about the decisions, commitments and doubts around a life standing sideways.
The time he felt he had to leave snowboarding in search of a “real job” together with a pro career that didn't come easy.
Also talking about the end of his pro career in front of the cameras and into the realm of splitboarding, snowboarding coaching and being a guide.
Please join us into a chat that had a bit of everything, some emotion, some stoke and of course, some spanish.
