Forsnowboarding is a blog you can get lost in for hours on end if your not careful, it revolves around snowboarding, design and reviews and is coming out of Canada. This blog has all kinds of good and interesting information surrounding the industry. It is a spawn of designer Stefan Dukaczewski and his design site mstrpln. Its a worthwhile click over to both sites, some interesting stuff with good clean design.
So what is the best present a snow sport enthusiast could ever receive? How about 20 or so inches of snow in three days! Yeah, it kinda sucks that it’s happening over Christmas when everyone is going to be traveling. But, if you don’t have to go very far the slopes are going to have more snow than we’ve seen here in a long time. So get out there and make the best out of this winter wonder land that is headed our way… But be safe!

The skiers are in a fierce competition to get your votes. It’s game on for the Powder Magazine’s Reader’s Poll Awards and some of the skiers are making videos to campaign to the readers.

This will blow your mind for sure. Most people I know can barely do a hand full of tricks on one rail let alone 32. Talk about moves these two definitely got them.
Breckenridge Dew Tour 2009 is all over. They had perfect weather for the pipe finals and they would have had great conditions for the slopestyle but it was held later in the afternoon and the light wasn’t really that great. If you want to see the full results of the qualifiers and what not, you can check it out here. Probably the biggest surprise of the comp. was 16 year old Tyler Flanagan taking the cake in slopestyle and beating out heavy hitter riders that have been his inspiration to ride.
The Dew Tour kicked off its first stop yesterday at Breckenridge. Not a whole lot going on yet, but Torstein Horgmo was nice enough to give us a little video of the first day of practice on his web site.
Here’s what the schedule looks like while they’re at Breck: Read More

It’s gonna be a huge night because TransWorld SNOWboarding is opening up the Rider’s Poll Awards to the public. Not only that but they have an outstanding line up of nominees for every category. I couldn’t even start to tell you who might be on stage accepting an award. Thankfully the polling is going to be left up the people that know the industry the best. TransWorld is putting together their results based on what 125 pro-snowboarders from all around the globe have to say. Read More

It may come as a big shocker to some people but the halfpipe was not the only competition that went down at the Copper Mountain Grand Prix stop. Paul Mitchell got its hand in there to sponsor the Progression Session, which had a pretty sick set up for a little slope style action. The run started off with a giant 15 foot high butter box that launched off to a huge step down and that led into another butter box and rail at the bottom of the run. From what I’ve seen it looked like this set up made for some pretty sick moves. And The House’s very own Gabi Viteri made us proud as she snagged 3rd! Congrats Gabi! Keep doin your thang… Read More
Now that the season is started and mostly all our Christmas presents are bought there is one main thing on most snow sport enthusiast’s minds… How am I going to afford to take a trip to an amazing resort? The price on these trips can rack up really fast but they are so worth it it’s hard to not put yourself in the poor house to get there. From my experience and stories from friends I thought up five tips that can save you some cash and can get you on the slopes for less. Before you pack your bags and head out to Colorado with $150 this is going to take some strategic planning and a little self control, but it can be done. Read More
The game was played out rather well as the first stop of the Grand Prix was concluded with 87 guys sending it in the halfpipe to get to the finals, 16 of them making it through, and crowning our first winners in the men’s and women’s halfpipe. Read More
The first stop of the road to the Olympics kicked off yesterday. The ladies gave it what they had in the 22 foot pipe at Copper and set the standard for what it’s gonna take to make it to Vancouver. The guys are still practicing and will get their turn tomorrow, but there were a few little surprises on how the list for the finals shook out for the girls. Read More
