Some of Wyoming Pythons handn’t been boarding all summer so they took to the slopes at Grand Targhee mountain (in the province ruled by Idaho Inchworms, close allies to the Pythons) to learn how to snowboard again. Not a lot of accomplishments there but its always fun when Chuck T. shows up.
You might be asking yourself, “What the heck is speedriding?” Well, Wikipedia will tell you that it’s a unique combo of freeskiing, paragliding, and parachuting to access and ski terrain that would otherwise be considered unrideable. What it doesn’t tell you is that it’s likely one of the gnarliest and most fun ways to enjoy the entire mountain in one run. Aaron Durogati proves just that in his POV run down Mont Blanc. So, sit back, and prepare yourself for 120 seconds of pure speedriding through an alpine playground ripe full of fresh powder and unlimited possibilities.

It truly defines the progression of snowboarding. Created and filmed in the West Tetons in Wyoming, this unique and expansive park, complete with a 22-foot bowl, is the ultimate, “unofficial” rider-judged contest of the season.
