For the Love of Powder ❄️

All my life, I've been a complete addict—hooked on the rush of snow beneath my board, the crisp mountain air, and the endless pursuit of fresh lines. Snowboarding and skiing weren’t just hobbies; they were my heartbeat, my compass, my reason to chase winter across continents.

In 2013, that obsession crystallized into something bigger: a project called Find Powder. It started as a wild idea—what if I could break a world record by touring the most ski resorts on the planet in just 90 days? Not just a few iconic spots, but a full-blown, globe-spanning powder pilgrimage.

I had big plans...

I had sponsors lined up...

I had spreadsheets, maps, and a fire in my belly.

Find Powder was never just about numbers or bragging rights. It was about documenting the soul of snow culture—meeting locals, capturing the vibe of each resort, and sharing the magic of powder days with a global community. I envisioned a site that would track conditions, celebrate hidden gems, and connect snow lovers with the kind of intel you can’t find in glossy brochures.

But like any ambitious expedition, the journey took unexpected turns. Logistics got gnarly. Weather didn’t always cooperate. Life threw curveballs. And while the record attempt didn’t unfold exactly as planned, the dream of Find Powder never died—it evolved.

The Future: Where Snow Meets Code 🌨️💻

Now, Find Powder is entering a new chapter—powered by AI, driven by data, and built by someone who lives for both the thrill of the ride and the elegance of clean code.

I’m developing tools that use AI weather modeling to track storms, analyze snowfall patterns, and give you real-time advice on where to chase powder—whether you're in Japan, the Alps, or the Rockies. Imagine a global map that doesn’t just show snow depth, but predicts where the next dump will hit, how long it’ll last, and which resorts will be worth the trip.

This is what happens when a snowboarder meets a web developer.

You get a platform that’s equal parts passion and precision.

Not just a blog. Not just a forecast.

A full-blown powder intelligence engine.

And that’s just the beginning. I’m building toward a future where Find Powder becomes your go-to for:

• Resort-specific powder alerts based on AI-driven weather models
• Crowd-sourced ride reports and local tips
• Historical snowfall trends and predictive analytics
• Travel planning tools that sync with storm cycles
• A community of riders who live for the chase

Because for some of us, powder isn’t just snow.

It’s purpose. It’s poetry. It’s home.
