Born in South Lake Tahoe to two ripping snowboarders, Baker Broadhurst grew up immersed in mountain life from day one. Raised in a small town that gets absolutely dumped on, he was strapped into a snowboard, standing on a skateboard, and pedaling a bike by the age of two. Winters were spent chasing storms up and down the West Coast, crashing in ski-hill parking lots and living out of his parents’ van where the road and the mountains became home early on.
Forgoing the traditional college path, Baker headed north to Mt. Baker to ride deep Pacific Northwest powder and build mountain bike trails, fully embracing van life and the rhythm of seasons spent outside. Those years shaped his hands-on, no-frills approach to riding and living grounded in hard work, creativity, and time in the elements.
When he’s not on the mountain, Baker stays moving wrenching on bikes and boards, skating whatever concrete he can find, surfing the lake, and chasing any adventure that presents itself. Rooted in community, storms, and self-made paths, Baker continues to live the kind of life built around snow, dirt, and freedom.
