Named for its lack of hygiene and not illicit behavior, the crack den was a crash pad for Stratton’s half pipe talent in the 1990s. As a revolving cast claimed a bed (or floor spot) at the den as their home, some of its residents included Neary, Seth Miller, Jim Moran, Doug Byrnes, Alvah Wendell, Kris Swierz and the Fusco brothers. Spending as much time in the half pipe and competing in the Green Mountain Series, the crack den folks spent most of their money on the sport, so they lived on a steady diet of microwave hamburgers from the Grampy’s convenience store across the street. “That house was probably the most progressive group of snowboarders at the time.” Seth Neary continued, “It was a four-bedroom house with like twelve people in at a time....You know what, if I could click my heels and go back in time, I would be right there.” Discover more in the book Snowboarding in Southern Vermont available at www.snowboardinginsouthernvermont.com Photo credit: Neil Korn, Alvah Wendell, Tricia Byrnes #snowboard #strattonhalfpipe #snowboardingarchives #snowboardinginsouthernvermont #historyofsnowboarding #snowboarding #snowboards #snowboard_world #snowboardingisfun #winhallcrackden #sethneary #sethmiller #alvahwendell #krisswierz #dougbyrnes (at Bondville, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtDmaGRFJ67/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xzc4i9prva0j
