“Snowboarding has undeniably shaped our lives in the best of ways. It is through this strong sense of community that snowboarding offers, that we found everlasting friendships, a respect and appreciation for nature and mountain ecology, and a deep connection to ourselves. All roads lead to the mountains for us and we are so proud to support the Chill Foundation in their efforts to bring youth on to the mountain to experience the beauty of the terrain, the strength in this community, and what will likely become a meaningful discovery to themselves.” – Kyle and Katina, SingleThread Founders/Owners
All proceeds from this giveaway will support the Chill Foundation and our mission to inspire young people through boardsports and build a more equitable outdoor community. Founded by Jake and Donna Carpenter of Burton Snowboards, Chill has served more than 30,000 participants in 20 locations across 9 countries since 1995. Chill’s programs pair a core value curriculum with the excitement of learning snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and paddleboarding to promote personal growth, connection to the outdoors, and an inclusive community to enjoy it with.

SingleThread
SingleThread encompasses a 24-acre farm, the five-room SingleThread Inn, which holds three Michelin Keys, and the farm-driven SingleThread restaurant, all located in and around Healdsburg, California, in Sonoma County. SingleThread restaurant holds three Michelin stars, and a Michelin Green Star for its deep commitment to sustainability, and is currently ranked as the Best Restaurant in West USA for the second consecutive year, and No. 16 on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 list. The restaurant is also a previous recipient of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ “Miele One to Watch” Award and rated by La Liste as No. 1 in the world for 2026.Â
SingleThread was born out of Kyle and Katina Connaughton’s California upbringing and extensive international travels and experiences living and cooking abroad in world-renowned restaurants in the UK and Japan. Their philosophy is rooted in a wealth of Japanese principles and traditions surrounding hospitality, food culture, and service with a focus on seasonality, their farm, and the products of Sonoma County.Â
Together with SingleThread Co-Owner and CEO of Vertice Hospitality Management, Tony Greenberg, SingleThread expanded its operations internationally, opening its first international dining concept, SoNoMa by SingleThread, in Kyoto, Japan, in March 2026. The restaurant is a reflection of SingleThread’s deep Sonoma County roots, accented by the traditions and hyper-seasonality of Japan’s Kansai region. The group is slated to open its second Inn, The Selvedge, also in Healdsburg, in late 2026. Taken together, SingleThread’s ethos is the art of sustainable agriculture and culinary and hospitality excellence, fully integrating its eponymous farm into its carefully evolving hospitality portfolio, with food sourcing and storytelling at the forefront.
Kyle and Katina Connaughton are the chef and farmer owners of SingleThread in Healdsburg, California. Both originally from East of Los Angeles they have been together since the age of 15 where they first met at a small punk show. From a young age snowboarding has been a big part of their lives and travels. They both grew up at the base of Mt. Baldy and fell in love with the mountains, traveling all over for their work and for their passion for the mountains. They lived for 3 years in Japan's north island of Hokkaido, riding the incredible mountains there, and later in Europe for 5 years exploring the Alps. Now back in California's Wine Country they frequent Tahoe and still find time to travel for snowboarding. Kyle and Katina have been inspired by the Chill Foundation and their incredible work inspiring young people to find that same passion for boardsports, the mountains, and the importance of protecting that fragile environment. They are incredibly proud to give back to that community that has given them so much and support the legacy of Chill for future generations.
Arnot-Roberts
Arnot-Roberts was founded in Healdsburg in 2001 by childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. Beginning with one barrel of wine made in their basement, the winery started small and grew slowly by sourcing grapes from some of the most remarkable vineyards in California. Duncan and Nathan grew up together in the Napa Valley and from an early age were immersed in the rhythm of agrarian life surrounded by the vineyards and winemaking of the early 1980’s. Both of their families, while not directly involved in winemaking, were deeply rooted in the community as chefs, coopers, teachers and attorneys in what, at the time, was a small up and coming wine region. After college, the duo followed their passion into the wine industry with Nathan joining his father as a cooper of oak wine barrels and Duncan pursuing winemaking in several renowned wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties.
The focus of Arnot-Roberts is to produce distinctive, site-driven wines that highlight the nature of the unique terroirs in which the grapes are grown. The journey to this end has led Duncan and Nathan to seek out vineyards throughout Northern California and now includes incredible sites in Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Rita Hills, Clearlake and Sierra Foothills. Single-vineyard wines are the core of the production as well as a few appellation bottlings that clearly speak of their individual upbringings. Some of the vineyards are old and dry-farmed, some are newer plantings but all are farmed and cared for by passionate and conscientious growers, which is paramount to the fundamental goal of Arnot-Roberts: producing the most honest and expressive wines possible.
