’Ol 69 ’er
SIXTY NINE SEASONS SHARING THE LOVE OF SHRED with Ash Muller
SNOWBOARD TEACHING HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE 80S. SO HAS ONE OF OUR ORIGINAL INSTRUCTORS, ASH MULLER. HE TALLIES UP A WHOPPING 69 SEASONS SPREADING THE SHRED. FROM BASIC ORIGINS IN KITZBÜHEL IN THE 80S, THROUGH BEING A FOUNDER MEMBER OF HOTHAM BOARDRIDERS IN ‘88, TO OVER 30 WINTERS AT UPMARKET BEAVER CREEK, NOT TO MENTION 14 AT CHILE’S AWESOME VALLE NEVADO. OH, DID WE MENTION REPRESENTING AUSTRALIA AT THE 1999 INTERSKI (AKA ‘THE INTSRUCTORS’ OLYMPICS’) IN NORWAY? IT’S BEEN A LONG RIDE. BUT HE’S NOT SLOWING DOWN AS SEASON 70 BECKONS THIS WINTER, A MARK HE WOULD HAVE PASSED ALREADY BUT FOR COVID. OWAIN PRICE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM FOR AN ONGOING CHAT - WE STARTED OVER BEERS IN CHILE BACK IN 2014.
