In addition, Finch competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics for the United States.
We asked Andy about his favorite spots:
1. Saas Fee, Switzerland
Because it’s super fun to ride park and big mountains. The town doesn’t allow cars, it’s just plain beautiful.
Check our forecast for the spot.

2. Valle Nevado, Chile
It’s like California but upside down. Gets great snow, playful terrain and killer heli operation straight from the bottom of the mountain.
Find the forecast for the spot here.

3. Sugar bowl, Tahoe
Has some of my favorite lines in the Tahoe area and doesn’t get as crazy if crowded.

Great snow, playful terrain and very accessible. We see the sun more too!
