An all expense paid trip to Big Bear Mountain, with the NOMIS team... Does life get any better? I think not!
The first annual NOMIS “A Day in the Life,” shop appreciation trip went off in a big way and everyone involved agreed it must become an annual event. NOMIS gave away a four day all expense paid trip to a shop to attend a week long photo shoot and chilling session with team riders, and NOMIS staff.
The crew from left to right: Derek Dennison, John Paul Pardy, Joey Sexton, Chad Holmes, Keaton Pearson, and Steve Rose
The rental car rolled into “The Block Hotel” in Big Bear California, packed to the brim. Its occupants included NOMIS team riders Joey Sexton, Chad Holmes, and Derek Dennison, being guided by Steve Rose; along with John Paul Pardy, and Keaton Pearson from the winning store, Board Paradise out of North Carolina.
A feast at a resort that a snowboarder can only afford when on the company's travel budget.
Some call it crail nose, others call it nuclear, Joey S. likes to call it tweaked.
Unlikely weather consisting of pouring rain, blizzard like snow, dense fog, and select minutes of sunshine sums up the first three days of the trip. The final day turned out to be the typical warm bluebird spring riding conditions we had headed to So Cal for, and the features at Big Bear didn’t let us down. Other than riding the sick park, our crew went on late night rail mission and an evening half pipe photo shoot. The lack of sleep however did not slow anyone down or keep them from smiling, laughing, and throwing high fives.

Derek enjoys late night action and here is another example.
All in all, the trip was a huge success. A couple few big thanks go out to: John and Keaton from Board Paradise, Liko, Rich, Savanah, and the peeps at “The Block Hotel,” Justin Meyer and Paul Amyot for all the filming and photography, Johnny Miller for showing us some “spots,” and last but not least Kim, Marty, Clayton and the rest of the staff and park crew at Big Bear, you guys are sick!

Look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
