“Trio Sonic” with Austen, Zoë and Jacqui
November 16 2023
“Trio Sonic is a convergence of boarders who hail from Northwest Washington. Austen Sweetin, Zoe Vernon & Jacqui Shaffer spend their winter months caressed in the pocket of the catcher’s mitt that is Mt Baker. They chase each other up the boot pack, race to get first tracks, and fist bump on top of pillow stacks. Their winters are spent weaving in and out of each other’s orbit; it was only a matter of time before these riders converged for a trip. This confluence of snowboarders brought all past experiences, abilities & expertise together to move through the Alaskan mountains like a braided river. Each rider weaving their unique line down the mountains, merging together, more powerful than before to cascade over obstacles and flow with their surroundings.” – Jacqui Shaffer
