I just returned from an epic snowboard trip to Oregon’s Mount Bachelor, located a stone’s throw from the funky town of Bend, Oregon, where I had the chance to put a set of tough-built Rockie Talkie Mountain Radios to the test while my partner and I rode just shy of 20,000 feet of vertical over two days.
With my legs still feeling a bit like jello, I’m only starting to process the epicness that was sloshing about on a dormant stratovolcano with North America’s deepest snowpack, 100-plus inches (as of writing). With new boots, a new helmet and other fresh accessories all making their debut — this was also my first time riding this season — there was one accessory that stood out as the star of my adventure.
