   To put it simply. . . no, snowboarding freestyle isn’t easy. They may make it look easy but trust me to get the things down that they’re doing takes a lot longer than just one summer.

   Over the summer. . . probably not? Summer+snow=nothing the snow melts

   You will need to work hard but if you spend the whole summer there, have the guts of a burglar, the will to train hard on and off the snow, and a lot of natural talent, you can get to a decent level of ability.

   But as good a Shaun White in one summer? Won’t happen. If it was fast and easy, Shaun White would not be the one of a kind athlete that he is. There would be dozens or hundreds like him.

   Etsch – Mt. Hood has skiing and boarding all summer – the only place in the US that does.
