This 3-Year-Old Tahoe Kid Might be a Better Snowboarder Than You

If you’ve ever been riding at a ski resort near Lake Tahoe, you may have noticed a little shredder passing you on your way down the mountain. Well that little grom is most likely Leland the Falcon, and at just 3-years-old, he might already be a better snowboarder than you.

We’ve been following Leland on Instagram for a while now and just had to show you just how cool this little guy is. His first ride down the mountain two years ago showed just how talented he is, getting news coverage immediately.
