The Bomb Hole

Heikki Sorsa is one of the most iconic snowboarders to have ever existed and is single handedly responsible for so many of snowboarding’s most memorable moments. From his legendary mohawk in the 2002 Olympics to setting world record airs and even filming some of our favorite video parts of all time, he is trulli (pun intended) one of the greatest to ever do it. Learn all about Heikki’s upbringing, snowboard career, and what he’s up to now on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

Sometimes the job that lets you snowboard the most isn’t being a professional snowboarder. Chris Coulter got to live that life for years filming with Kingpin Productions and Absinthe Films before transitioning to big mountain riding which ultimately led him to his dream job: guiding. We explore filming street footage in the middle of summer with no snow to dangerous back country scenarios and everything in between. Learn all about Chris Coulter in this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

Not many people can step away from snowboarding entirely, return, and then make their way to the Olympics. Well, Jake Pates is one of them ones. After battling concussions and their severe side effects he stepped away. After a few years he made his return and not thing we know he’s representing the USA in The Olympics. Since then he’s been galavanting the globe on private jets, replying to some of the thirstiest DMs we’ve ever heard, and crushing every contest that comes his way. Learn all about Jake’s journey and where he’s headed on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

When Juliette Pelchat was a kid she grew up wanting to be on The Bomb Hole… which is pretty crazy because that was just a few years ago. Raised in the mountains by the legendary JF Pelchat, Juliette quickly found snowboarding and excelled. She competed for Team Canada in this past Olympics and is slowly going further and further in the back country. She started all girls skate camp at her local park, lost thousands of dollars buying a truck, is working on an art book, getting her pilots license and so much more. Learn all about Juliette’s past and where she’s headed on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
