ROGUE A collection of photographs by Austen Sweetin.
Coal Headwear presents a photo collection from Austen Sweetin. Everyone has that one thing. It runs through their head like crazy and they can’t stop thinking about it. They live for it, get out of bed for it, and dream about it each night. My one thing is snowboarding. The moment I strapped into a snowboard I knew I had found something that would change my life forever. Snowboarding has introduced me to lifelong friends and provided years of amazing memories. From exploring new mountains and new lines, to cruising around the resort with close friends on familiar runs, it’s these moments that reinsure my passion for the snow. I encourage you to pick your line, drop in, and let everything else go; it’s just you and the mountain now. Compared to the mountains we are minuscule, but with the right respect and knowledge we can enjoy these beautiful masterpieces. Here is a small collection of photographs from this past winter. I am honored to call the people that fill these pages my friends. -Austen Sweetin
