YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

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. [...]

Happy New Years!!! It’s officially 2010 in Australia, but for us in the rest of the world there’s still time to make plans that are sure to let you down. In the words of Pat Bridges, “A New Years you can remember is a New Years to forget,” but if you are not actually trying [...]

Here at YoBeat, we try to keep things fun. But sometimes, between the hate comments, and me constantly telling Nick Lipton that he is a douche bag, morale can get low. So it was time for a little team building exercise, and luckily Mt. Hood Meadows had just opened its night riding facilities for the [...]

Is it just us or does the race to open seem especially fast this year? We are NOT complaining, and of course the early snow fall just about everywhere hasn’t hurt things either. This week resorts in the Northwest, Utah and Colorado all made it happen, and here’s what we know:

Last year, Timbro had his worst first day of snowboarding of the year, ever. He wrote all about it, so you can get up to speed. This year, Meadows’s opening day came much earlier than last, and unlike last year, Timbro was there. Since this opening day thing is officially getting old (and yes, we [...]

We really try and make things on this site interesting to people who don’t live in Oregon, but sometimes, we just have to share our stoke. So good news for us! Mt. Hood Meadows will most likely open on Wednesday, November 11th. Not only is this NOT a weekend (stoked) but over a month earlier [...]

These photos just in from the fine folks at Mt. Hood Meadows. 18 inches and counting and you know what that means?! Pretty soon Zimmerman won’t have to watch videos of “fashion victims riding park rails” anymore!

Where will we be riding this winter? Mt. Hood Meadows, that’s where. So don’t blow your chance to stalk us by having to pay day ticket rates or full price on a season pass. Get your group together by Oct. 31 and take advantage of group deals, or don’t say we didn’t tell ya so. [...]

These days if its going on, and may or may not be cool, Grenade is involved, such as the MFM Charity Jam at Hood. Hey, you gotta make those Caddy payments somehow right? But apparently they are even tight with MFM and impoverished children now, which makes sense cause they are both so metal!

Why isn’t everyone pretending to piss on us?

We try not to make this site too Portland-centric but just wanted to say neener neener neener. We’re going shredding today. Watch the web cam, maybe you’ll see us.
Here are some pictures of the gnar. (It was amazing.)

Timbro and I were having some trouble communicating about where he should model for me to get the [...]

Sarah Morrison looks better in a deep V Neck, but that’s kind of the story of Timbro’s life.

You may have thought the first part of Timbro’s Opening Day was bad. It’s got nothing on this.

Meadows Opening Day Weekend
by Brooke Geery

Jeremy catching some phat air.
I totally got conned into snowboarding opening weekend at Mt. Hood Meadows. See, I am afraid of people and I sort of have a flexible schedule, so the idea of going riding on a weekend, and opening weekend at that, tends to turn my stomach. Even [...]
