Home Mountain: Kicking Horse, BC
I used to get excited about skiing hills in Australia. Then I ended up working 3 seasons at Kicking Horse in British Columbia (going back for my 4th) and I’ve become addicted. I wake up in the morning and I can see the hill from my window. I hitch hike or get a...
Home Mountain: Mountain High, CA
Mt. High has been my home since day one of snowboarding. Started years ago when i was eleven and had no idea what i was getting myself into. if i only knew it was going to be one of the best things in my life. Riding Mt. High 3 times a week for the past 4 or 5...
Home Mountain: Mountain High, CA
Wouldn’t you like to have your stress and worries taken away from you even if only for a day? This often is the case at Mountain High Resort. Though I’m only 14, i have been to MH 10 times and those days have been some of the best in my life. It is a great...
Home Mountain: Winter Park, CO
I don’t need 500 words to describe Winter Park as the best mountain in the world. Just visit the montain and you’ll see why it is. The people are actually nice, fun, and go out of their way to help you at the mountain. The skiing is unbelievable, or riding...
Home Mountain: Sugar Bowl, CA
Why I love Sugar Bowl- not the closest mountain to me, but definitely the one with the best memories I will never forget! I used to go to school at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I was determined to work at a ski resort- and my friend recommended me to go to...
Home Mountain: Fellhorn, Germany
This resort in the German Alps is perfect for fun times shredding in the park but as well for some freeride action. Parktime consists of bustin’ over rails, boxes and tables, flying high on badass kickers and havin’ a good time in the chilloutzone watching others...
Home Mountain: Northstar at Tahoe, CA
I love Northstar-at-Tahoe. I moved to the resort in December and spent about 120 days riding the mountain this season. I rode about ten other mountains this season as well and Northstar was hands down my favorite place to be. The atmosphere, the parks, and...
Home Mountain: Loveland Ski Area, CO
Living on the East coast most of my skiing, about 30-40days, is at Hunter Mountain, NY, the ice capital of the world, when it comes to the conditions of the terrain, they call it powder! Obviously they’ve never seen real powder! That’s why I look forward to...
Home Mountain: Northstar at Tahoe, CA
Northstar at Tahoe is the place to be. I spent around 120 days at Northstar this past season and it was the best season of my life. Being a park-rat, I spent almost all day every day riding Vista, the park chair. From this chair I could watch all the other...
Home Mountain: Mountain High, CA
I love my home mountain because my home mountain loves me. I have been snowboarding at Mt high for 6 years and it has always treated me well. I started snowboarding with my brother and as i grew up Mt high surrounded me with good people so it kept me going there...
Home Mountain: Mt. Hood Meadows, OR
Why I love my home mountain… Meadows is home to some of the best terrain anywhere. I learned to backcountry snowboard there, and get some in Newton Canyon at least 20 times a year. This last year, inspired by ‘Deeper,’ I didn’t ride the resort at all, just...
Home Mountain: Sunday River, ME
To me, a home mountain is not a place that is close or easy to get to. It is a place that has always felt like home, despite being in a different state. Countless weekends growing up, I spent long hours in the car on the ride to and from Sunday River for times...
Home Mountain: Snowpark Fiss Ladis, Austria
When I’m on this mountain I felt free. Because snowboarding is my life. For example: I’m sad and I’m going to the park and I’m happy and forget all my worries. So snowboarding is freedom to me. I think that kids with cancer or somthing need to ride and...
Home Mountain: Porcupine Mountain, MI
I’m from Michigan and although it’s not a mountainous state, the UP has fabulous mountains. My favorite is Porcupine mountain…even the name makes me smile. The view is fantastic and peaceful. I’ve never seen a porcupine there (lol), but I think of them...
Home Mountain: Mountain High, CO
Chances are your Home Mountain is better than Mtn High. Heck, it can’t even claim to be the best resort within an hour’s drive of Orange County but one thing Mtn High has that no other slope, anywhere in the world, has is this: My first run. Years ago, before I...
Home Mountain: Arapahoe Basin, CO
Most of us who travel have our ?favorite spot on Earth?. The kind of place that, if we had the means, we would build our home there and never leave. I would venture a guess that most do not get the opportunity to live near their ?favorite spot on Earth?. I...
Home Mountain: Breckenridge, CO
Breckenridge is one of the coolest places to schred in Colorado. They are easy going and dont have to deal with the high and mighty like in Aspen. You can go there tear it up and hang with your friends and have a blast.

He recently dropped the edit from his long and deep 2011 season, which you can watch above. All I can say is that Heimer is the strongest and...
