Thank U Snowboarding - S3 - Ep3 - Ian Trotter
Ian came over to my studio with Jonny Weeks (S3 Ep1) to record their interviews, obviously I had known Jonny for some years although it had been some years, but Ian I'd never met.
I knew Ian had started Chalet Snowboard, as far as I'm aware, the first Snowboarder specific chalet holiday company, which, at the time would have seemed like lunacy as the numbers were still quite small, but they hit a sweet spot in the sports growth and enjoyed quite a success, which certainly opened the door to young snowboarders such as myself, to open more places for snowboarders to stay and be unashamably snowboard-centric.
He bought along some literature to look at, including old Burton catalogues (CSB was a Burton Test Centre) and a copy of some mens mag where he went on a sandboarding trip, fair enough, he was a handsome fella and still is!
Most of all, I loved Ians laid back and considered character, immediatly feeling at ease in his company and like we must have known each other for years.
Ian is still shredding having bought a season pass for Western Switzerland which gives unlimited days for over 100 resorts, I hope he gets a good return on his investment, and I hope I get some make some turns with him soon.
If you want to know more about the Thank U Snowboarding Community Camp in March 26, there are details here: https://thankusnowboarding.wixsite.com/spring2026 or you can email us at [email protected]

I'd like to take a moment to introduce FourTwenTea, which is delicious tea embibed with CBD oil, which I have been drinking over this summer, just to help keep my brain from overheating.
