Meet the Snowboarding Competitor with Grandchildren

I’m always open to adding new snowsports-related blogs to my reading list. A new one on my list is Skiing and Snowboarding by Martin Griff, published by NJ.com. Griff writes a regular ski column for the Times of Trenton, and added the blog in December of 2007.

I haven’t had time to browse the collection, but it has a mix of photos, short commentaries, and links to full-length columns he has written. Check it out.

One blog entry that caught my attention is “That gray haired guy is a competitor!” It’s about Dick Schulze, a retired attorney who teaches snowboarding in Tahoe–and competes in snowboarding events. Somewhere in one of my e-mail boxes, I have a letter from him or from someone else about him from a few years ago. It’s good to see that he’s still going strong.

Now if you were going to be a 62-year old competing in snowboarding events, which would you pick? Slopestyle? Halfpipe? Big air? Boardercross?
