  • This season I decided to put two different snowboard goggles into my arsenal. I chose the Oakley Crowbar and the Electric EG2. I wanted to have goggles with spherical lenses and both of these foot the bill

  • We rode the Skate Banana in the hot orange colorway, paired with the Union Force bindings also in hot orange. It was definitely an attention-getting setup. The Skate Banana has been a pretty popular deck the last few years and the Union Forces are often highly recommended, so we were anxious to see if they live up to the hype.

  • Overall this is a great board; perfect for the intermediate rider who wants to gain confidence on the slopes and start playing in the park. Conditions were the common southern Michigan groomers. We did actually get 1 day of great snow so it was a somewhat “powder day”. It handled all of these very well.

  • Last weekend Jon Tollefson and I set up Beak's Peak for the inaugural day of it's third season. It was the first time I rode there, and despite having only one feature to hit, it was a blast. We used the Banshee Bungee to propel us and sessioned a 15' flat rail for a few hours.

  • I recently bought a pair of Radar Pants from Signal Snowboards because of a sweet deal at Eternal on last season's gear and also because I was in the mood for something turquoise. I chose the Lyons Blue colorway which this season is available only on the Dufficy Pro pants (links to Signal's site). It is not nearly as outrageously turquoise as I was hoping for, but it'll do the trick.

  • Nobody else is going up. I'm tired. I'm broke. It's too warm. It's too cold. I need a new deck. My boots smell. I think I broke a rib on that rail last Thursday. Etc. All excuses to keep you off the mountain.

  • What is the best camera for action sports? Some people have suggested the GoPro Helmet Cams. I don't want to be that guy who rocks the helmet cam everywhere he goes so I didn't really consider GoPro as an option. But the more I look at these sorts of things, the more inclined I am to shell out the money for a GoPro as opposed to anything else on the market.
