Yeah, I try to get healthy for the season. A couple of lunges, vanilla oatmeal and stretching are a part of my “extensive” and “intense” preseason training. So I’m on track, lunging away like a champ, when Ben & Jerry interrupt. Killington launched its new winter website and so far, the reviews are mixed. I almost didn’t realize it was their homepage at first – no pictures, new logo… and no royal blue. *gasp.* 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 [...] 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. It’s got a soft flex pattern, increased pop in the tail and a resilient nose – seems like a decent choice [...] Went up to Vermont this past weekend to visit some friends. It was nice to get away for a few days. Made some jewelry, drank good coffee, chilled around a fire, and snapped a few pictures along the way. Super mellow weekend. Check the pictures – comments encouraged. So I guess I have a lot of stuff to tell you since I’ve been MIA here lately… to all 3 of you that might read this. My most recent endeavor involved a snowmobile and a frozen lake. I’ve never driven a snowmobile before, but it was fricken awesome. I wasn’t too keen [...] Today was supposed to be uber crappy on and off the hill. The weather forecast was on point, as it predicted the snowfall, the shift over to rain and the icing that occured on Mount Snow’s trails. In fact, enough icing occurred that Mount Snow needed to close some trails today early on. But then [...] Mount Snow’s slopes were dusted with snow this morning. Of course, I was all smiles since it was still coming down as I left for work. I didn’t even mind cleaning off my car because it’s October… and there’s snow on it. As someone from New Jersey who hasn’t seen snow fall this early, well, [...] Lots of improvements are coming to resorts for the 08-09 season. Let’s take a look at some of the resorts that are upping their freestyle game. I’d be a lot more excited if I actually lived in Colorado… but this is a good sign for all winter enthusiasts, no matter where you reside. Winter is almost here. Loveland tested the guns September 16th, and started making snow shortly after on the 24th. Based on the Farmer’s Almanac, it seems that the [...] |
