This video is hilarious, yet still interesting. The man is a machine and has had the winner mentality for a long time.

Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather out there is terrible.”
My loving wife of 20 years replied, “Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?”
I still don’t know if she was joking, but I’ve given up fishing.

For 3 years in high school I attended summer snowboard camp at High Cascade Snowboard Camp at Mt. Hood, Oregon. I found this video highlighting Session 4 of camp. Crap snowboarding is fun! I can’t wait for Carter and Landon to be old enough to ride with their pops (me).

If money and time weren’t issues I would still want to ride everyday. Who can do that though?

This is totally nuts. There was an avlanche at Mt. High today that killed 2 and has a 3rd missing. I’m not sure if it was at the resort or in Wrightwood.

This is pretty cool.
Salt Lake City, Utah January 10, 2008 — Enthusiastically expanding competition opportunities in the sport of big mountain snowboarding, The North Face and Mountain Sports International (MSI) proudly unveil The North Face Masters, a two-stop tour designed to cater to the motivation, talent and skill of world-class big mountain snowboarders.
“Open big mountain competition is very exciting to the development of the sport,” said world-renowned rider and The North Face athlete, Johan Olofsson. “With the simplicity of a starting line, mixed terrain, and a finish line, what each snowboarder opts to go for during their runs will be the result of creativity, skill, and risk.”
The North Face Masters features a $45,000 cash prize purse and an opportunity for big mountain snowboarders to pit themselves against athlete and mountain alike.
The North Face Masters kicks off at Snowbird, Utah, February 8-11, where competitors can look forward to the notoriously challenging Little Cottonwood Canyon terrain littered with chutes, cliff drops, and the legendary lake-effect Utah powder. The North Face will award male and female champions of The North Face Masters, Snowbird, the chance to continue their winning streak at The North Face Masters tour in Alaska. Airfare, lodging, and entry to The North Face Masters, Alyeska, AK, will also be awarded to the male and female winners of these other big mountain competitions:
Nissan Mammoth Quest (Jan 14 -17, 2008)
Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom (February 8-10, 2008)
Stop number two will bring competitors to the epic venue of Alyeska Resort, Alaska, April 2-6, to push their limits against the Chugach Range’s palette of jaw-dropping steeps, couloirs, and wide-open Alaskan faces. Adding even more incentive, final round athletes of the Alyeska event will be rewarded with a heli-drop at the start of the Finals, courtesy of Chugach Powder Guides, where they will compete in the final run on an area of Alyeska Resort named “Big League,” a section of the mountain not open to the public until 2010.
“With the creation of The North Face Masters, the riders who live and breathe this aspect of snowboarding finally have a stage on which to show off their skills and creativity,” said Jason Ford, Group Publisher for Future US, home of Future Snowboarding magazine, The North Face Masters media partner. “It’s been a long time since the U.S. has taken a good look at the big mountain side of the sport, so this is a huge opportunity for the riders, as well as the spectators!”
With the induction of the The North Face Masters 2008 comes the gathering of the big mountain snowboarding tribe from all over the world. All male and female snowboarding competitors over the age of 18 are welcomed to participate.
“Today’s riders are redefining what is possible—they’re taking the tricks and skills learned in the terrain parks to the big mountain environment,” said Joe Flannery, Vice President of Marketing for The North Face. “As a company that was born in the mountains, we’re excited to see today’s brightest snowboarding stars with a venue that celebrates what they do.”
Fans of big mountain snowboarding can also catch complete same-day live coverage of the Semi-Final and Final rounds on the event website, where there are also videos, photos, athlete profiles, detailed event schedules, registration information and more.
Please visit www.thenorthface.com/masters. Online-only registration for The North Face Masters is NOW OPEN!

I have heard a lot about all the new video games out and never really cared for them until last night. Andy, our buddy Brian (BMOE) and I spent the night up in Arrowhead last night so that we could skip work and hit the local ski resorts for a little fun. However, the evenings party was almost more fun than shreddin’ in the snow. I was introduced to the Wii (pronounced WE).
This video game is hilarious. I would never sit at home and play it alone but to have a few drinks and sit around with friends and have a tennis tournament, baseball game, or bowling match is awesome! I have never seen three grown men battling it out over a virtual game while working up a little sweat (Andy needs to stop running the cabins heater at 90 degrees).
At this point I opened the front door to cool the place down so that Andy would put his pants back on… It didn’t happen. He has loved sharing his business since high school.
Look at that amazing form.

If it’s too horrible to get outside find some friends and hold a Wii tourney.

Dave, Brian and I are driving home from a rippin day on the slopes. We got our feet wet at Snow Summit and ventured over to Bear Mountain to ride with the big boys. You have never heard 3 old men complain more about being old than today. Not to mention Dave had the all time worst gas ever. Made for an interesting experience.
More to come when I get home.

The concept is brillant. Burton is giving $5,000 to the person or crew that submits the best video documentation of their poach on a non-snowboarding resort.

In case you were wondering, the following resorts are now open in Southern California:
Mountain High
Snow Summit
Snow Valley

I would see you up there but only rich people like Brian and Dean get to snowboard.

If you are considering a pass to your local ski resort now is the time to think about picking it up. Historically, passes go on sale in the summer and go off sale by October 1. Many resorts actually offer a limited number of sale passes so the sooner you get it the better.
Mt High is offering their pre-season sale right now.
Please let it get cold soon!

Tonight’s post is about the
Patagonia Lightweight R4 Jacket
This is a product I had been eyeballing all winter until one day down in Encinitas on vacation Julie finally let me make the purchase. I have found this fleece to be almost perfect in everyway. Last winter it was worn over 70 times including multiple trips to Colorado and Alabama for work. That means hours of keeping me cozy in airports and on planes. I can think of 3 times that I spilled Starbucks on my sleeve and each time I wiped it off without a problem. If I am going to spend that much on a fleece I want to know that the product is going to hold up and with Patagonia’s life time repair/return policy you can’t go wrong. I am a fleece ho.
Backcountry.com offers free shipping on this product along with a $20.00 discount off what I paid. Click the banner’s below for more info.

For those of you that don’t know Dave and I have some pretty deep roots into the world of snowboarding. Dave, BMO and I used to call ourselves the BBM or Big Bear Mafia, mang! We pretty much ran the streets of Big Bear. The BLVD, Moonridge, Switzerland Dr, these were all our stomping grounds and people moved out of the way when we came down the street. In honor of these roots I frequently like to check out the latest snow gear and stumbled upon ProBoardShop.com. From my research on the site they carry the best brands and have some of the most reasonable pricing that I have seen in a while, especially if you are in the market for a last’s year’s snow deck (Dean).

After years of large credit card debts in winter, I finally figured out when the best time to buy base layer products are, for when the temperatures begin to drop again… It’s now! All the affiliate retailers we are working with have great deals in the warm months, Summer, on all those fancy material base layer warming products that you wanted, had , or ruined during the colder months.
Check out the summer sales on these types of products:
