The first run of the season, heck, the first turn even, can be a little daunting. We’ve all been there, wondering if it will all come back like riding a bicycle. And usually it does. All the style you’ve racked up comes back effortlessly and it only takes a couple turns to remember how fun snowboarding is.
Unless, that is, you’re this girl (hilariousness ensues)…
Guess it can happen to the best of us.
Cool vid from our friends at TTR (Ticket to Ride) tour defining style. With all the resorts opening up we’ve been daydreaming about this kind of thing…

They say Utah has the greatest snow on earth. This sure looks good… blower pow at Solitude this past March. Bring it!
Be sure to keep your calendars clear for this Saturday October 16 because Standard Films and TransWorld are coming to town to show us their latest videos The Storming and In Color.With two top of the game companies like that coming together Saturday night is sure to be something… well… use your imagination. It’s gonna be just a little off the rocker. All the fun is getting started at 6:30 at the St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis. Be sure to get there early to grab a seat because these are videos where if you blink, you just missed a lot.
Follow Chris Brunkhart, former senior photographer for both Transworld Snowboarding and Snowboarder magazines, as he promotes the release of his collection of 90′s-era snowboarding images and new book “How Many Dreams in the Dark?” Brunkhart prefers to shoot with black and white film, which adds a sense of timelessness to his images. He selected 200 images for this book, out of more than 40,000! You can reserve your copy on Brunkhart’s website: http://www.gamafunction.com/dreams/orders.html
Simply put, this commercial is rad. Nike Snowboarding and Nicolas Mueller, setting the bar high as usual.
Apparently for Nicolas it’s Indian pow-wow’s, ping-pong balls and rabbit suits. And snowboarding too. So we want to know, what makes you happy?
Mammoth Mountain is for Lovers
Dearest New Trick,
Ever since I first laid eyes on you in this season’s newest video, I knew that you and I were destined for one another. Countless nights I spent pining for you, dreaming my way through the fall until those first flakes of white gold began to sail downward upon our local slopes.
Think Vermont is just about parks, halfpipes, and maple syrup? Think again. Powder shredding in Vermont is unique—and fleeting—catch it while you can. This is a great compilation from Chris Nelson, who captured the best of winter 09-10 in his own backyard.
Ever wondered what allows Scott Stevens to jib stuff you never imagined jibbable, or Bode Merrill to double-cork into powder? Maybe it was what their mom fed them for breakfast as a kid, maybe it is natural talent, or it could just be the gear they are riding. That is why SNOWBOARDER Magazine and The House Boardshop are catching up with some of the top pros to see what in their arsenal of product for this video series we like to call, “Shred to Toe”.
Kingvale, you will be missed!
Everyone who rents a house, apartment, or condo usually has some sort of disagreement with their landlord at some point during the lease. For renter’s it usually involves getting a leaky faucet fixed, or something comparatively trivial. Today, however, is a sad day for snowboarding, as Kingvale Terrain Project has picked up their equipment and shut down operations in the Tahoe area, citing irreconcilable differences with their landlord.
For the last two seasons, Kingvale has been operating in North Lake Tahoe as one of the coolest parks in the country. The terrain was all park, all the time, and the grassroots project has been featured in countless magazines and several videos. Dropping the scant $22 on a lift ticket there was an investment towards taking laps with some of the many pros that frequented the resort, as well as riding some sick features with no lines or wait times.
The dream is not completely gone though, and the guys are looking for a new place to call home. So if you have a backyard you want to rent out or you can talk your local resort into giving these guys some space nearby let them know. Kingvale is a truly inspiring young project by snowboarders, for snowboarders, and they need our support. Let’s help find them some new digs and keep the stoke alive!
Silverton Mountain is notorious for early-season snow—it sits at 12,000-plus feet in Colorado’s San Juan Range. Silverton is renowned for being the highest elevation ski area in North America, and also the home of handcrafted Venture Snowboards. Once again, they are shredding earlier than the rest of us. Opening day is scheduled for Dec. 4—if this keeps up, maybe earlier…
