Zack Black prefers to look at things differently - he likes to execute what he calls "far off" runs and strives to have the best back 7s and switchback 7s around. A guy who's motto is "live the dream," Black wants to be able to have fun and make a living in the snowboarding industry by taking things step by step and getting as far as possible.

FIRST TRACKS
On skis at 18 months, it wasn't until he was 8 that Black felt the urge to try something new and different. So, he strapped on a board and after taking seven tries to get off the chairlift without falling, Black had found a new tool for his days on the hill and never looked back.
