I haven’t been in tune with what you have been up to. What’s going on? 

This past winter I filmed with the Chuuch crew. It’s this local crew in Salt Lake. Buncha homies.

Who else is in the project with you? 

The homie Alex Lockwood, Brandon Hobush, a couple skier homies from the Hood crew. the homie Jake Baker…I am having a brain fart right now.

Well, that is sick. You’re a Brighton loc. Do you hail from Utah or are you a transplant?

I definitely hail from Utah. I rode Sundance for my first year then ended up switching over to Park City when I was super young. Rode there for a handful of years and then eventually completely switched over to Brighton when I was 14 or 15.

But you’re also a High Cascade loc in the summers working in the kitchen. How long have you been doing the summers up there?

Yeah, well that spot is second heaven. This last summer was my third one, so every year I’ve been K-Unit, making food for everyone.

I heard that you have been to prison. Is this true?

It’s definitely false. People who have never gone to jail, or gotten in trouble probably think jail and prison are the same thing, but having gone to jail, it put a perspective in my head that they’re not the same whatsoever. They are completely different.

Message Boardin

Desiree is a bad bitch that is on the forefront of women’s snowboarding with a number of progressive video parts and—in my opinion—the best style of any female. She continues to surprise the snowboarding world by thinking outside the box. Right now she is working on a very ambitious project called The United Slopes Of America where she is attempting to visit every resort in the U.S. to mingle with the locals, film everything along the way and write a book about the whole experience while living in a camper shell on the back of her Toyota that her and her father built by hand. More importantly for this column, Desiree is a very smart individual who is not afraid to voice her opinion, even if it offends everyone around her. That is why I asked her to do this Message Boardin’.
