Fakie is now called Switch

December 8th, 2008 · No Comments · Snowboarding

I am taking the Instructors Training Course at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for another two days. I am busy with that and only have a little time to write a few things now. I am learning to ride Switch. This was always called Fakie in the old days. Even Brian McGuire, the head of the Mountain Sports School called it Fakie!

It was easier to make turns on the north face of Mount Everest than it has been to ride Switch! And less scary as well!

More soon.

May you be happy, peaceful and healthy.

I look forward to seeing some of you soon for backcountry turns and possibly turns at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort if I get hired on as an instructor.
