A Perfect Birthday for Me! Snowboarding at Sunlight Ski Area

If Sunlight Ski area hooks me up with free tickets I'll be back more! :)
Near Glenwood Springs CO. Tickets are affordable relative to most other places in CO though, here is their info. sunlightmtn.com/
It's only a few lifts, but wow that was enjoyable.
And if you're riding there, definitely hit up Iron Mountain Hot Springs. Kristin and I love this place! www.ironmountainhotsprings.com/
Next Level Snowboarding stickers: www.etsy.com/shop/RyanKnapton
Helps my channel and your shreddin'! :D
Tip Jar:
Paypal▶︎paypal.me/RyanKnapton
Venmo▶︎ Search 'Ryan Knapton' on the Venmo app.
Custom Snowboard:
www.donek.com/get-started/
(Pre-stocked boards available too)
WAX discount code 15% off: RYAN15 from www.purlwax.com (one time only code) A variety of the appropriate temperature wax is best. If you snowboard a lot and know you will be for years, then I recommend the 1lb bricks. Lasts and economical vs. small packages sold in ski stores.
Link to my favorite balaclava: amzn.to/3frAm3o
(I get the "Standard" version... but again, it probably should be worn in conjunction with a separate face mask for actual virus protection)

[@nickshamin9819]

I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. That is first that came up to my mind after watching this video. Happy birthday legend! Wish you the best :)

[@neodmitryo]

Ryan that was righteous. Happy Birthday brother.

[@galognu]

Looks like you had a great b day. Hope many more.

[@Awkward_Shaka]

So rad to see you shred Sunlight! That’s were I ride the most. It’s really hard to enjoy the mega-resorts when weekdays at Sunlight are the usual!

[@ryanzezeski1605]

You know how you celebrate great snowboard turns? With more great snowboard turns.

I rode Solitude and Snowbird this week and had the same experience, slid out on ice several times because it’s been so long since we got new snow.

[@NHlocal]

Hey! Happy Birthday young fella! 😁 Ryan says ".....I'm gonna be holdin' back....." proceeds to carve the mountain to absolute ribbons. 😎👊 This old and busted up guy is very much inspired by the level of your riding and just as much if not more by your upbeat and grateful attitude. Keep yourselves safe and .....Qapla' !!! 😃👍❤🏂 Randy

Jealous of that snow, rode Tahoe today and well… any day on the mountain is a good day! The warmth helped me with some decent carve hold though, and found some empty trails at Northstar

I feel you on the birthday thing, I felt same way after 16. Although it was a true gift to get the whole lake to myself (used to slalom when I lived in FL).

[@usasleft8602]

Happy birthday Ryan! Many thanks for all the great videos and advice!

[@chrisransome2082]

Happy Birthday Ryan!! Thank you so much for your channel. I've progressed so much this year because of your vids. Hopefully its a good weekend and I'm so excited to get my first Knapton Twin in a couple days. CHEERS

[@T25de]

✌️✌️ Always a joy watching great turns and always an inspiration! Happy shreddin 2022!

[@snowdirt62]

Happy Birthday buddy 🤗🤗 ! You know, this vid was very instructional for me. There were so little distractions in it that it was perfect to play in "slow mo" and figure out exactly how u r doing those nose and tail 180's. I want to add some pizzazz to my carves and i think i can begin w yur frontside 180 on the tail. That appears to b basically a frontside 180 that lifts the nose high halfway thru it. I think i can do that 🤔. Anyway, Happy Birthday and there is no greater accolade then shouts from the lift ! Ken, at 71 years old (on a Trav Rice twin).

[@Shred1904]

Happy bday boss!!!

[@igorkonyukhov497]

Happy Birthday, Ryan! Thank you for your awesome videos, be healthy!

[@therotorooster]

Happy Birthday man, you've inspired me to keep leveling up my own game. If I was in that lift line, I would have been cheering you on too. That might have been my favorite part of this video.

[@alexanderkudryashov7882]

Happy Birthday! And thank you so much for inspiration and priceless insights!
