Marcus Kleveland is a name that you, if you are a fan of snowboarding, have most definitely heard. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marcus Kleveland (@marcuskleveland) Marcus is a competitive snowboarder from Norway who competes in the big air and slope style sectors of competition, and he does quite well for himself.

Long ago, the snowboarding-intoxicated minds of a few magazine editors in the Northeast dreamed up a king- and queen-making event of legendary proportions. A behemouth quarterpipe would be erected at Waterville Valley, calling all snowboarders with a penchant for pinning it to New Hampshire's White Mountains in search of ample airtime and limitless glory. It was called The World Quarterpipe Championships—World Quarters, for short—and it was rooted in the kind of dirtbag, DIY ethos that doesn't merely crown yearly champions, but builds generational legends.

The Highlands, formerly known as Boyne Highlands, sits atop Michigan's mitten just 15 minutes north of Petosky. Since 1963, the resort has been a favorite in The Great Lakes State, with 435 acres of trails, and in recent years, four terrain parks and an advanced snowmaking system. The hallmark of the resort is its community feel. So it makes sense that when The Highlands decided to install a new triple chair on its North Peak, it would give back to the Northern Michigan community. The new triple chair will replace one of the resort's original lifts, the Interconnect. From The Highlands' websit ..read more

Why is this so vital? Because working and living in mountain towns can be incredibly challenging—housing availability and expense, cost of living, and available childcare are just three factors that challenge the w ..read more
