Justin McKelvey

Snowboarder · former Vail and Salt Lake City local · founder of Snow Way

I lived in Vail and Salt Lake City, I've ridden all over North and South America, and I ran snowboard and bike shops before I taught myself to code. Snow Way is the tool I always wanted: one place to see where the snow is before booking a trip.

Experience

  • Lived in Vail, Colorado and rode it through full seasons, from early-season groomers to back bowl powder days.
  • Lived in Salt Lake City and rode the Cottonwood Canyons, Park City, and the rest of the Wasatch.
  • Has ridden across North and South America, from the Rockies and the Sierra to the Andes.
  • Ran snowboard and bike shops, fitting boots, setting up boards, and helping customers pick gear.
  • Software builder: former CTO at an AI startup and former Head of Product, with more than 50 products shipped.

How Justin writes Snow Way guides

Guides are written for real trips: how to pick a month, a mountain, and gear without wasting money. Gear guides explain how to choose rather than claiming product tests, and forecasts and rankings come straight from data, never from paid placement.
