7 YEAR OLD RIDES FIRST DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND RUN AT BOGUS BASIN SKI RESORT

With the recent deep snow storm we asked Cashy if she wanted to try to hit the double black diamond run called Omar’s with us.

For some context, this is a run that Nick and I would lap over and over again on a powder day before Cashy was born. It’s steep, not super tracked (unless it’s sunny and people can see the good snow), somewhat difficult to get to the best spots and a double black diamond.

In case you are unaware of what a "double black diamond" means, black diamonds are used on the resort trail map to let people know the run is difficult or for expert snowboarders and skiers. On a trail map you will have green (easy), blue (intermediate), black (expert) and sometimes red (advanced) runs depending on where in the world you are riding. Since this run is a double black…you guessed it, double difficult!

Back to more on the video. When it comes to new terrain with all of us it’s all about going slow, finding your line and then going for it. On this particular run we tend to send someone down first to set up to get the shot but also to inspect. There are a lot of boulders on Omar’s that can quickly turn into a massive drop or a super sendy booter so it’s good to be aware about what lies ahead.

Watching Cash approach this run with confidence and caution, listening to both of us for advice and then full sending through the deepest powder she has ever ridden was a gift. Then to hear her scream multiple times “this is the best day of my life!” talk about something special.

For Nick and I, snowboarding is our happy place. It’s the one place where we can ride together (he is better than me but I can still hang 😂). When we found out we were pregnant all we wanted to do was live life to the fullest with our little girl and that included sharing our happy places with her.

Watching little Cashy fall in love with snowboarding has made us love it even more. From the beginning our goal was to be able to go anywhere and ride any run. We never imagined we would be there so soon. Don’t get me wrong I still think she has a few years before she drops out of a helicopter but knowing my daughter, her skill and her coach-ability there is not much she can’t do.

As a parent we often worry if we are raising her right. She is an only child and together we are learning. She is teaching us how to be parents and we are teaching her about life. We are not perfect but it’s moments like these that make it all okay! No matter what path we choose in this life as long as we all keep shredding, smiling, loving life and living it to the fullest then it will all work out!

Huge thank you to everyone who supports us and has gifted us their time watching our videos. It really does mean a lot that we are able to be a part of your daily screen time!

Much Love as always from us Rowley's

PS: We don’t label the runs on the resort so please refrain from posting the “that’s not a black diamond run” comments. We would never lie on this app for views. We don’t need to, Cash is a beast!
