Maple Blondie. A Hannah Teter treat.

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.
Introducing Maple Blondie – the new, signature flavor of Hannah Teter. Now, I figure… Hannah [...]

Killington’s New Look

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.*
Personally, I think it’s exactly what they needed – something different. And it’s not just (totally) different from their previous design… it’s a [...]

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 [...]

Got Syrup?

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.

WOW! It’s been a while.

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 [...]

Best day so far

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 [...]

First snowfall at Mount Snow

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, [...]

2008-2009 Terrain Park Improvements

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.
Mount Snow, VT: Park rats unite! Mount Snow officially became the biggest park on the East Coast. The resort will transform its entire Carinthia peak into a freestyle playground with [...]

Loveland Fires Up the Guns

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 [...]
