Jonas Michilot Kills it on a Black Snow

April 13th, 2010

If you snowboarded a long time ago, you know exactly what a Black Snow Snowboard was.   For all of the young kids out there, I will explain it a little bit.  Black Snow Snowboards were the kind of boards that you were scared to ride because they were so cheaply made.  They first made their debut in the early 80′s but weren’t allowed at many ski resorts because of their lack of metal edges.  The Canadian Ski Museum website has a little more info about them.  Anyways, enough with the history lesson and on with the video.  The video features Jonas Michilot tearing up Hyland on one of these safety hazard Black Snow boards…  This video will make you rethink buying the latest and greatest snowboard every year.  Watch the video by clicking the “read more” link below or the picture above.
