The Bomb Hole

As far as we're concerned, Ethan Morgan isn't just a fan of techno. He is techno. Ethan is fast paced and free flowing. He's overflowing with passion and loves a good time. He's a curator of experiences (like DIYX) and is damn good on a snowboard. We take a deep dive into Ethan's past and unique family holiday traditions in hopes that we could learn more about how he ended up this way. We found no...

We love nothing more than sitting down with super-pros from snowboarding; and there were few to do it like Jussi Oksanen. A style icon. Lord of the butters. King of the pokes.

In this banter filled episode of Bomb Hole: Group Chat, we fill the booth to the brim with our hand selected banter specialists and we cover all topics imaginable: dissecting all of snowboardings current affairs. For some reason, the group narrowed their focus on a new form of regenerative natural resources stemming from the mind boggling rotations happening in Stubai. Perhaps this is new field re...

In a Bomb Hole exclusive we would like to welcome our first invertebrate to the show: Garrett "Worm" Warnick. It should be noted we're only speaking metaphorically here though, because Garrett surely has a spine, and he loves them too.

We’ve got a big one today: Mark Sollors is in studio and let me just say he’s a gem of a human. Hailing from Canada, Mark set his sights on being an absolute ATV on the snowboard. His street footage was absolutely insane and he’s put that on the back burned to focus solely on backcountry. It’s a bit of a shame but then you watch some of his footage and you’re like actually this guys on to somethin...

In celebration of the monumental feat of reaching 200 episodes of The Bomb Hole, hosted by Chris Grenier, we decided it was finally time to interview the man himself. Throughout countless episodes you’ve likely picked up on a few bits and pieces about Chris. He’s sober, a bit of an old head, hates granola and loves to get crunchy. But there’s so much more to this man. We’ve only scratched the surf...

Raibu Katayama always prefers a huge air over anything else; and if you've seen his riding you'd know that. In an era where competitive snowboarding is known to make most viewers a little dizzy, Raibu is bringing back impeccable style and undeniable flavor. We're talking tweaks, we're talking pokes, we're talking slow McTwists and absolutely massive methods. Having recently switched to more of a b...

No matter his career, Billy Anderson will always be a snowboarder at heart. And if his name doesn't ring a bell, we recommend listening very closely to this episode. It feels like an understatement to say that Billy has played a monumental role in snowboarding's development.

Lucky for us, she didn't take no...

This week's guest specializes in floating: something most snowboarders are familiar with. And although Jimmy Wilkins' snowboarding didn't lead him down a path of sponsors, gold medals, and timeless style: his skating did. Jimmy's trick selection favors looking good and proper tricks over higher rotations and sloppiness. He brings a very unique and nostalgic flair to vert skating that we hope never...

From career highlights in The Leak and Pepper to receiving a pro-model board to more recent ventures working as a filmer and producer/director, Ted proves that he will continue making a positive impact in th...

One thing that we've learned on the show is that when contest snowboarders make the switch to the back country, they can be huge threats. Their fundamentals are exceptional, their work ethic is dialed in, and they're itching exercise some creativity. Mikey Ciccarelli is a prime example of this phenomena. His commitment to style make him one of the most enjoyable snowboarders to watch and let me te...
