A fast moving storm hit the West Coast on Friday March 12, 2010 bringing up to 2 feet of fresh snow in the Sierras. The snowmobiles were loaded up on the trailers as I headed out for another great backcountry day. The crew included: Andy Finch, Ryan Eagan, Andy [...]

It’s not easy being a slave to the big bad corporate machine. Days are filled with long, painstaking hours spent punching your fingertips to the bone, only to have your boss steal your precious red swing line stapler and move your desk down to “Storage B.” Well, that’s at least how it is [...]
Seems it’s officially too expensive to manufacture $800 snowboards in Vermont. According to the Burlington Free Press, Burton is closing up its manufacturing facilities in Vermont and moving all production to Austria, where the not-so-premium boards have been made for the past few years.
“It makes the most economic sense to produce all of our high-end [...]
After the acclaimed success of the first Fuckin Huntah edit, another was obviously in order. It’s like Johnny Drama said…

Alliteration is fun, and K2 is taking advantage and giving stuff away! If you’re good at “social media” you have the chance to win snowboards, coffee and more from Wille Yli Luoma, K2 and Heart Roasters all week long. Check out http://k2snowboarding.com for more info!
We were so busy pretending we were in French Canada watching the Shakedown this weekend, we didn’t notice Snowmission 2010 was going down in Quebec. Luckily, they sent us a video and press release about it. Congrats to Jess Kimura and Jason Dubois taking top honors.
Jason Dubois went home yesterday with the Polaris RMK 800 [...]
Possibly inspired by a previous video we’ve posted, the snowboarding miscreants at Sugarloaf actually got their passes pulled during the making of this video. Trouble. Nothing but trouble.

Thanks to the magic of “the Internet” we knew who landed, who blew it and who made money the minute it happened at the Ride Shakedown at the Summit at Snoqualmie and stayed warm while watching! Some members of out faithful staff toughed out the elements though, so the full story, photos, scandalous secrets and [...]
Logic would tell you the first few sessions of snowboard camp are they way to go (that snow stuff melts handily during the summer) but in 2009, Session 5 was especially rad. Thanks mostly to the America’s Next Top Pro Model contest, everyone who’s anyone was there. We heard every session five camper got their [...]
The Ride Shakedown is underway at the Summit at Snoqualmie. Last night the rail best trick happened, with Izzy Lalive taking it for the women with a 50-50 to front 180 out and a switch boardslide. For the men, Austin Hironaka held it down in true Northwest style, hitting up a pillar made of cable [...]
Maybe that double double was good for something, Iouri Podladtchikov got the highest score in Winter X Superpipe history… except of course, the only other person who can do it wasn’t there. Full pipe results and the women’s slopestyle broke down like this:
Hola! Nikita are already planning the next photoshoot for the Spring Summer 2011 look book. Packing up and heading out from 23rd April 2010, the Nikita crew and team are hitting up North West Mexico. If you feel you got the look or want to recommend a friend because you think ‘she’s [...]
All this time I’ve been going to the newsstand for the latest news in music, art and entertainment, but apparently there is this thing called the “Internet” where everyone is “blogging” about it. Everyone, including Justin Timberlake (read: Justin Timberlake’s staff), and the latest post on jt.com is an interview with a man taking the [...]
Don’t miss the Ashbury/KR3W demo on March 27th at Bear Mountain. (seriously!) The whole Ashbury and KR3W teams will be there along with their friends. (wait, these guys have friends?) This is your only chance to see all of these guys in one place at one time. (not that you will be able to tell [...]
It’s not that often that Morgantown, WV gets enough snow for serious urban sessions, so when it does, you gotta take advantage like AJ Lawson and Cooper Thomas did during a recent storm. More importantly, they entertained the locals.

Apparently they have the X Games in Europe now? Everything is the same, except they judge in the metric system, right? God, we’re stealing jokes from a ski blog. Whatever, men’s slopestyle is over, here are the results.
Sun. Snow. Park rails. What more could you want with your spring?

Last summer, when High Cascade and Windells snowboard camps got rope tows to access their terrain, it was great news for lazy snowboarders everywhere. Well, ok, mostly lazy snowboarders in the US, since up in BC, the camps have always been lift-accessed. And this year there’s even better news, the number of rope tows accessing [...]
Rome’s Stoken event series has returned after a short hiatus, and the good times are guaranteed. What Stoken lacks in rigid structure, international point rankings, and official rotation judges, it makes up for in what’s most important in any snowboarding event… having FUN with a big crew.
Be ready to get awesome on three communal features [...]
The season may ALREADY be winding down in the fine state of Wisconsin thanks to warm temps and alternative precipitation, but that’s no reason to hang it up yet. This weekend is Empire Collective’s Picnic in the Park at Devil’s Head Resort. You should go because The Rumorator will be there! Oh yeah, and some [...]
The Doom/Love crew went to Turkey awhile back. We’ve been patiently awaiting the video, but apparently they either think they are an old media outlet, or they are trying to make it “good.” Anyway, the teaser is out and the full video should be done very, very soon. Until then, go read up on their [...]
…Evan Litsios, who can thank Chris Erickson for filming and sending in his trick. Enjoy your fame, glory and new FUNhat gear. Thanks to everyone who entered!! We’ll trick someone into giving away something else soon, but for now, go enter Shayboarder’s giveaway for Limited Edition 686/New Balance stuff.

This park at Mt. Hood Meadows was technically “closed.” Jeff Holce is in High School, so he doesn’t care!!
When you’re a teenager, it may be hard to imagine you will ever get “over” snowboarding. In fact, if you are under the age of 18 (or even 22), you should probably stop reading this right now. [...]
It’s no secret the Skeleton Crew is full of little people, so what else would you expect them to build if they had their way but a mini pipe with fun jibs? Last summer, this is what went down on it at Windells. This year, who knows that will happen!
This video is brought to you [...]
We were all excited to watch the finals of the Arctic Challenge today. Too bad they ended before we woke up. Stupid time difference. Oh well, the results from the Slopestyle are in and Peetu came out on top with a run including a cab 270 front board to fakie, frontside 540 melon on the [...]
Luckily for our generation, it was after 1984 when we read George Orwell’s book. But imagine reading 1984 say, in the 60s, when it had the potential to come to fruition. Scary stuff. In case you haven’t read it (you should) the basic gist is a the world has become a place where “Thought Police” [...]
Funny thing about the halfpipe. Once one person does a trick, everyone else wants to do it too. Iouri Podladtchikov landed his own 1260 Double Mickey in Davos, SUI. And according to Twoleftfeet, he did it second try. Good thing Shaun already got that gold medal, Wheaties box, and sweet Rolling Stone cover, huh? Check [...]
While the world fell in love with double corks, the Aries 2010 Project was on display in Vancouver. Paid for by Nike, and curated by Nemo’s Trevor Graves, the snowboarding time capsule included lots of stuff you’ve probably never heard of (or if you have, tried to forget.) Austin Will spent the last week polishing [...]
The filming of “The Shred Remains” has officially kicked off. Although we’ve gotten a couple shots here and there in prior weeks, this was the first real trip to get the project underway. Eiki, Lazz, Will and Paxson along with filmer Leland McNamara, Team Director Ryan Runke, TWS and Method-Mag photographer Frode Sandabech and myself [...]
Someday we won’t have to have special days to encourage girls to snowboard (cause they’ll realize there are ton of hot dudes, duh) but until then… March 11, 2010 at Wachusett.
It’s crazy that someone who wins back-to-back Olympic gold medals like Seth Wescott would just get a lousy spot on the Colbert Report, and not even any network late night tv invitations. It must be because he’s a snowboarder. Oh wait. Anyway, the Wheaties people gave finally Wescott some love with his own box of [...]
