Byron Bagwell hails from sunny, Southern California. At some point in his early twenties, he decided to trade in the concrete wave of L.A. for the great white wave.  Since then, months have blurred into years. Byron now resides in Bellingham, Washington, where he splits his time riding the chairs at Mt. Baker and touring the extensive backcountry of the Cascade Range. “For me, exploration is a must,” Byron said. “I have been fortunate to see Austrian sunrises and Chilean sunsets — all because of snowboarding.”
