How to Catch an Edge While Snowboarding
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No CommentsAdam is a pretty decent snowboarder. He doesn't do sick tricks or anything, but he can handle his own carving steeps and powder. I know; I've seen it happen. So you can imagine my surprise when I watched him catch an edge this afternoon on a groomer at Mt. Holly (for no apparent reaason). Fortunately, it was the only time today that I bothered to break out the camera. -
East Coast Snowboarders Enjoy Big Dumps in Philly
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No CommentsThe recent snowstorm which dumped up to 20" of pow pow apparently covered Philadelphia. Here's a vid of some Philly riders rocking some stair-rides & boardslides down the front steps of the Philly Institute of Arts. We've got a similar setup at the Detroit Institute of Arts; if we get hammered with any snow like that this year, I might just have to scope it out. -

Posted on December 22, 2009 | 1 CommentI want to talk about snowboarding fashion, in particular, some of the most annoying trends that I see in 2009/2010. Seriously: tall tees and skinny-jean style snowboard pants. This is probably the worst thing to happen to snowboard fashion since Day-Glo. -

Posted on December 21, 2009 | No CommentsAbsolutely sick. Jeremy Jones pushing the limits of backcountry snowboarding. Again. Watch the trailer and see what's up, it will make you and your butters feel inferior in every way. -
Crystal Mountain: Early Season Shredding
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No CommentsWe couldn't have asked for a better day in northern Michigan: no wind, partly sunny, and temps about 30 degrees. No powder in sight, but the blend of last week's fresh and man-made snow was extremely tolerable for early-season riding. -
ThirtyTwo TM-2 Snowboard Boot Review
Posted on December 21, 2009 | 1 CommentI loved my old pair of ThirtyTwo TM-2s, but after only two days on the slopes this year, I love these ones waaaay more. They're better fitting, easier to lace, more padded, and easier to break in. -
I Love it When A Plan Comes Together
Posted on December 16, 2009 | No CommentsSome of us will be staying Monday-Monday which makes it the longest trip we've taken in the seven years we've been doing this. It also gives us six possible days (actually six-and-a-half, if you count Monday twilight at PCMR) to shred the best snow on earth.
