West Coast Tour: Northstar-at-Tahoe

First of all, Northstar’s village is crazy – Stratton-esque. The shuttle system is also pretty convenient. Oh, and A+ for the bathroom in the middle of the parking lot! Two cups of coffee and an hour drive later makes you appreciate those little luxuries. (And the fact that I didn’t need this… Ew. Gross.)

So we [...]

Burton Layers: Overall Impressions

Christmas came early this year, kids. In an earlier post, I touched upon what I ordered from Burton. Well, the clothes are here… annnnd they’re fabulous. Burton baselayers are made with DRYRIDE Ultrawick fabric so they’ll dry faster, wick away moisture and avoid smelling like onions dipped in awful.
Just so you know, sizing runs BIG. [...]

Jackets, pants, layers… oh my.

Finally! The time has come. I’ve placed an order for a new jacket, pants and über cute base layers. I don’t think I’ve ever waited this long to buy something new. Usually, I go ape shit on the end-of-season sales.
This time, I straight-up ransacked the Burton line. I gotta say, I’m truly looking forward to [...]

Burton 2010 » Binding Haul

Maybe it was the bright blue that initially caught my eye. Maybe it was the “what-the-hell-kind-of-name-is-that” name. Whatever the case, Burton’s Molotov EST binding looks hawt.

Weight, flex, and price are things to consider… but if the binding isn’t comfortable, you’re eff’d. I like the new Park-Specific ASYM Superstrap. The shape’s been changed and the padding [...]

Burton 2010 » Snowboard Haul

It’s here. Burton dropped their 2009-2010 site and it’s taken a good chunk of time to sift through it all. To be fair to Burton’s extensive collection, I’ll start with some boards. Ready… go.
Feelgood V-Rocker

It’s got a soft flex pattern, increased pop in the tail and a resilient nose – seems like a decent choice [...]

Special Blend 2010 Outerwear

Special Blend’s 2010 website is live. Here are some of my first impressions, what I like, and stuff I’m not too crazy about.
We’ll start with the jackets. I’m not too keen on loud prints that double as Magic Eye’s, but I’m diggin’ the solid colors and unique cuts/fits to a jacket. These jackets/colorways are sick.
The [...]
