Boarders Without Borders- Snowboarding In Iran

When you think of “Iran” a few words come to mind, oil, deserts, terrorist, lack of women’s rights and maybe even nuclear weapons. One thing that almost never comes to mind is world class snowboarding. With around 20 resorts Iran has a lot to offer the discerning skier or snowboarder. Despite the myths Iran is pretty safe for tourism, it’s affordable, street crime is low, the food is good and you can even drink the water (take that South America).

Two of Iran’s biggest resorts are Shemshak and Dizin both located in the Alborz Mountains range just outside of Tehran. Where House Team Rider Gabi Viteri and Olympian Hanna Teter will be headed to film “Boarders Without Border”.

“Boarders Without Boarders”  is a documentary that will follow three snowboarders on an Iranian adventure, where they will share their passions for snowboarding with the locals.

Hannah Teter & Gabi Viteri Talk Iran | “Boarders Without Borders” is a feature-length documentary following three professional snowboarders on a journey to the little known yet world-class mountains of Iran..

GALLERY: Behind the Scenes at The Am Throwdown

Last week’s Am Throwdown with Snowboard Mag was a huge success, and The House was lucky enough to be a part of all of the action.

The teams of finalists, who were chosen by public voting, had five days of sunshine and good snow to explore Copper and shoot a 1:30 second video. Edits had to be cut and turned in by midnight Friday night so the crews made the most of the days and nights trying to “Get the Shot”.

As Snowboard Magazine Editor Jon Glass put it, “We wanted the guys to get creative, explore the mountain and not feel confined to just one area of the mountain. The contest had a loose format. We pretty much let the guys run free for the week.”

Check out some behind the scenes shots of all of the teams hard at work: Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Snowboard Magazine has a great recap of the event here. Stay tuned as the final edits should be dropping next week as well as the announcement of the winning team and video who will walk away with 5G’s.

In the last week she’s gone from the Colorado Rockies to the Palm Springs desert and is currently shooting with Burton at Northstar-at-Tahoe. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin.

Spotted: Team Riders Gabi Viteri & Bev V. at the Am Throwdown

House Boardshop Team Riders Gabi Viteri and Bev V. stopped by the Snowboard Magazine Am Throwdown yesterday to say hello to The House Boardshop crew and check out the scene. Day two of the event was wrapping up and the girls hung out to grab some apres sun on the deck at Copper Mountain.

Gabi brought along her number one man, a freshly groomed Darby the dog, as well as her friend and fellow Burton teammate Zak Hale.

Day three of the event is upon us and all of the videographer/rider duo’s were expecting a snowy day but woke up to yet another bluebird day. Tonight the teams will meet up after sunset for a night session that will be the only time all of the teams ride and film together on the same feature. Copper’s park crew just finished setting up the feature for tonights session and it’s looking pretty radical.

Spotted: Team Riders Gabi and Bev at Women's Superpark

It is an elite honor to be one of the riders that is invited to these events, male and female.

This year Keystone Mountain, Colorado was the host resort for Women’s Superpark and House Boardshop team riders Bev V. and Gabi Viteri were both in attendance.

The House Team Rider Updates

The season is well under way and our riders that are competing in all these snowboard contests are doing rather well. The Dew Tour made its first stop in Breckenridge where Bev Vuileumier took 8th in the slopestlye and Kaitlyn Farrington took 6th in the halfpipe. At the Grand Prix in Mammoth Kaitlyn snagged 5th in the Progression Session, and at the Copper Progression Session Gabi Viteri took home 3rd.

Brennen Swanson is barking with the big dogs as he is throwing down double corks in his halfpipe runs and is pulling some attention from Snowboarder Magazine for his style:

On the other side of snowboarding Madeline Wieckne, an Olympic hopeful for Parallel Giant Slalom, is holding her own. She is in the top 5 for U.S. PGS women, and the top 50 PGS women in the world.

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
