SKIPOPOW (Whoa Wednesday)

I'm just a posting and re-posting machine!  Everyone and their mother has been releasing videos with the impending season upon us (and partially started).  Treat yourself to some amazing views and awesome riding with the SKIPOPOW video below.  Awesome stuff TKB Films!

Corbets Starts Giving Me Nightmares Again (Jackson)

As I documented and commented on greatly last year, Corbets' Couloir is really scary.  Just when I got over it, JHSR had to post this picture during the storm nailing them yesterday.  Yea, that's right, they are already talking about Corbets' opening for the new season, and as a corrolary, preparing to count all the broken bones and twisted knees it will cause.  A quick youtube search will also yeild a whole bunch of new Corbets' death videos from the last season.  It seems every year, more and more people are enchanted by that steep mistrees.  Sedudced by the dream of glory and getting in there deep and fast.  Only to find themselves ashamed and embarrased in the dark corners of youtube.

Keep on Skiing the East

Check out this awesome video I found linked on Tramdock.  Local Vermont rippers hit spots all over the East.  The Tuckerman's part towards the end is awesome - and to the sounds of Pennywise.

It's the Final Countdown (Shred Season)

In a post with a totally original name, inspired by a song I'm sure no one has ever heard, I will discuss the impending season and the various countdown clocks in motion.



29 days to the traditional Mount Snow Thanksgiving kick off
58 days to Jackson Hole part two - Shredding with Santa
80 days to Utah "get me two"
123 days to South Lake Tahoe - Hittin' up Heavenly

Of course, this is by no means an inclusive list.  Many shred-tacular events will be happening before, after, and in between.  Almost none of the East Coast trips that define the season are listed here.  There has already been a quick jib session to Mount Snow and surely a VT weekend will occur in the next two or so weeks when Killington opens its doors.  Will we get to Maine or New Hampshire this season?  Jay Peak?  The Burlington area?  Where will the snow and the storms take us this season?  How many miles will the Seenbaru put on it's inaugural shred season?

We should also already start thinking about the follow-up to Boloney Moguls' inaugral video, None More Blacker, EXCEPTIONALLY STYLISH.  Will the follow-up live up to the hype or be loaded with Boloney Moguls' signature style of fail?  In thinking about it, that's probably the same thing.  You can go anywhere for extreme tricks and amazing riding.  You come to Boloney Moguls when you want to see retards on ice.

Officially Some of the Best Ski Gear Ever (Retro Rocks)

While flipping through the interwebs, I came across this gem of a film, "Snow Daze."  According to the brief youtube description, it was the last Sims team video before their first buy out.  I forget my early snowboarding history, and don't really have any idea what they are talking about.  What I know for sure is, this clip from the epic snow saga features some of the best shred, style, and gear I have ever seen.  Those wondering about Christmas ideas?  Take a look at this gear, find it, buy it.

Zip Line! (Heavenly Rocks)

Holy crap!  I think I'm not even going to bother bringing my board to Heavenly in March.  No one told me that they have the longest zip line in the continental U.S.  I have no idea how much it costs to ride, but I don't particularly care.  I will go "zipping" along the resort on this thing.  Check it out!

Snow in October (or how Power Seen missed out a third time)

Hey all, Dong Stül checking in here, due to the fact that once again Power Seen lives very far from all things that are good. As we all spend our days and nights patiently waiting for the winter season to officially begin, Mount Snow repeated their early season opening from last year, and put up a mini park for October 17th, and 18th.  Aided by about 2 hours of fresh falling snow (goggles were needed for more than just style), crusty lips, crowds, and to many park rats to count made up for a very wonderful Sunday in October as Brown Matt, Tim and I ventured north to get on snow for the first time this season.  Oversized clothing was laughed at, and back breaking crashes were had, all while Power Seen was rained on in the swamps of DC. Maybe next year he can get on snow in October too.  Until then, pray for snow!
