Having a team here, riding together throughout the season is going to make for some really good times at the High.&#8221; Cronk has been with Mountain High for several years and is the only returning pro team member.<\/p>\n<p>Says Farmer, &#8220;We also thought it was key to have a couple regionally-diverse riders who enjoy spending time in SoCal so we picked Nick Visconti from the Lake Tahoe area and Ryan Paul from Minnesota.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Paul and Visconti are considered to be two of the strongest new snowboarders on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Says Visconti, &#8220;Mountain High is so much fun to ride.  The warm weather, the excellent park, babes everywhere\u2026Who wouldn\u2019t want to ride there?  I&#8217;m really excited to be part of the team and filming there this winter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Look for an introduction to the new team in a series of print advertisements dropping this fall in Transworld Snowboarding, Snowboarder Magazine, and more.  Then get ready for a new video series coming this winter featuring the team and other friends of Mountain High. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The guys are going to be very involved in the resort this season and influencing the progression of the park.  We have several solid projects lined up that we&#8217;ll be announcing soon,&#8221; added Farmer. <\/p>\n<p>Meet members of the new team Saturday, August 27th, at Mountain High\u2019s annual Season Pass Party which features a live performance by Unwritten Law and tons of great activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>. . . and then we learn that Tahoe Dangerzone mastermind Nick Visconti is on Southern California&#8217;s Mountain High Pro Team.
