Snowboard Nationals

My name is Alex Grumblatt and I'm a full time student, part time yoga teacher, and part time server. This is my fifth season snowboarding and my love for this sport is still growing exponentially. This season is also the first season I started competing. I've qualified to go to nationals in rail jam and slopestyle events; both of which I plan on competing in. Snowboarding is more than a sport to me, it's a passion that pushes me to new limits, gives me confidence, makes me feel alive, and it's truly my first love. With that being said, snowbaording is not a cheap sport and the cost of nationals surely reflects that. The competition fee alone is a few hundred dollars on top of lodging, food, and gas. I plan on sleeping in the 4Runner a few nights out of the seven that I'll be up in Colorado but it would be nice to stay in a hotel for a couple nights. 
I'm asking friends, family, snowboarders, skiers, and anyone else who supports this small dream of mine to help me get to nationals this year. All donations will help pay for my nationals expenses but I plan on donating any extra money to the SOS Outreach foundation. Thank you in advance for supporting me on my road to nationals!
