Scott Stevens

Scott StevensWestfield, MA

" Former HCSC camper, turned HCSC trampoline monitor, turned HCSC coach, turned HCSC Signature Sessioner™: Scott is the ultimate home-grown rider to get a Signature Session™. As an amazing staff member for over half a decade, we've watch Scott's unstoppable creativity, good nature and limitless talent influence 100's of campers and 1000's of riders. Skate like Scott. Shred like Scott. Just don't eat like him... this guy's got the worst diet in history. "

Reason for Summer Snowboarding:
Slush. Warm weather, cool kids, Cobra Dogs, Tim Eddy, cool staff, diggers, trampolines,
Favorite thing about HCSC?
Trampoline, skateboarding, ahhaha and the mini-pipe on-hill.
HCSC parks:
Top notch, there's no place like home.
Why Your Session?:
Jed is the golden child of snowboarding, Burtner is probably the most charismatic dude I know, Grenier is a piece of work and really fun to skate with and I love that friggin' rope tow so that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Jesse Burtner

Jesse BurtnerBallard, WA

" Jesse is 1 in 6,697,254,041 (current population of Earth). In the history of our sport never has a more creative thinking, DIY spirit and loud humor ever been more singularly personified in one person than it is in Jesse Burtner. Longtime HCSC coach, second year Signature Sessioner™ and founder/owner of Think Thank (our sport's most grassroot innovative movie company), Jesse will make you laugh and he'll make you think. Whether you're at one of his Mystery Clinics, sneak premiering his new Think Thank movie or demoing his Lib-Tech Burtner's Box Scratcher pro model, you're in for a treat. "

Reason for Summer Snowboarding:
To get the feeling back that I had the first time I was camper on Mt. Hood, 1 billion percent stoke!
Favorite thing about HCSC?
The people involved and the overall good vibe, nothing but love.
HCSC parks:
The parks have everything you could possibly need plus a bunch of stuff you didn't even know you needed until you rode it and there is plenty of room to improvise and get weird.
Why Your Session?:
Our session is going to be to the best because we got these three young guns; Jed, Grendys and Scott just inventing snowboarding in front of your eyes, plus me off to the side with one binding in yelling in a megaphone and giving away lemonades! Why is our session better, why do you need to even ask?

Chris Grenier

Chris GrenierSouthboro, MA

" Salomon teammate of Jed Anderson (they share the same pro model: The Salomonder) and life long Massachusetts' friend of Scott Stevens, Grendies is 33% Style, 33% Personality, 33% Humor and 1% Gangster mustache. A long time HCSC Digger, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Chris for keeping our parks tip-top. As a first year Signature Sessioner™, we can't wait to see the good times that this awesome dude will help create (but we do hope he leaves his demolition golf cart back home in Salt Lake). "

Reason for Summer Snowboarding:
Summer snowboarding is the best. It's warm and slushy, you can't complain about anything.
Favorite thing about HCSC?
My favorite thing about HCSC is the people. Everyone there is awesome. Cobra Dogs and Volcano Cones too, oh my God. So good.
HCSC parks:
The diggers hold it down. The park is way better than everyone else's. It's the best place to learn new tricks.
Why Your Session?:
Come to our session 'cause Scotty Stevens, Jed, and Burtner are gonna be there. They're the sickest dudes to watch snowboard. They are also very awesome humans.

Mike Ravelson

Mike RavelsonShrewsbury, MA

Reason for Summer Snowboarding:
High Cascade is the best place on earth. You can just go out and have a good time in the warm weather. It doesn't get much better than that!
Favorite thing about HCSC?
The people!
HCSC parks:
The Diggers are incredible at what they do. They keep that place dialed all summer long.
Why Your Session?:
I guess because it's just going to be a good time. You really can't go wrong with guys like Scott, Grenier and Burtner. My session includes Scott Stevens, Chris Grenier and Jesse Burtner. I've looked up to all three of these guys since I started snowboarding. They have fun, they're creative and they know how to have a good time. I can ASSURE that this session is going to be insane!

Jess Kimura

Jess KimuraVernon, BC, Canada

" After seeing her video part during our sneak peak premier of Think Thank's 'Right Brain, Left Brain' we called Jesse Burtner and got Jess's number. We had to offer her a Signature Session™, as anything else would be unacceptable. Last winter Jess Kimura gave the world of snowboarding (and her own body) a sever beating. Every time she strapped into her snowboard she pushed our sport a little further and in one season has earned the respect of every rider, media member and manufacturer who knows anything about anything. Heck yeah Jess. "

Favorite thing about HCSC?
The mini-pipe for sure. So much fun.
HCSC parks:
Everything is kept in top condition and constantly being fine tuned. It makes me feel more comfortable riding there.
Why Your Session?:
I don't like this one... Haha.
