VGsnow.com Is Live

Do you like videos of snowboarding? Then you'll probably enjoy the newly launched VGsnow.com, cause there's lot of them on there, all gussied up in a better-than-blog format. Don't know about you, but I'm gonna get myself a nice frosty Monster Energy Drink and enjoy them all!

Five Companies You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

It seems like every clown has a clothing company now. Any why not? This is America, where rumor is, you can do anything you want. All it takes is some ingenuity, a little bit of cash and a ton of hard work, and there you have it, your own clothing brand. At least, that's the dream. Most people though, never get beyond the idea part, and having an actual operating business isn't as common as you'd think. The following five brands come from across the country (and even one in the middle) and all have their own unique style. The one thing they all have in common: the are all…

Hump Day Jumps Buildings with Austin Smith

For someone who's managed to blow out his knee, not once, but twice, Austin Smith has actually had a very blessed snowboard career. After two years out with injury, he's got still got the sponsor support and to get back out there, and this year, that's exactly what he plans to do. With accolades such as rookie of the year and video part of the year already under his belt, it seems unlikely that he'll have any trouble. Just don't expect him to throw any triple corks. So you just got yourself a house in Portland, where young people go to retire... but you're not hurt anymore, so how is…

It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

How to Make the Best of a Shitty Day

It would be great if every day you went snowboarding was sunny, bluebird and knee deep. Ski resorts would never have to resort to tricky language, and you'd never have to think about if it's going to be worth the drive. Unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. In fact, more often than not, the strings of bluebird pow days happen while you're at work, and then your one day off ends up being cold and rainy. So you have a decision to make: do you sit at home, watch some reality TV and maybe play some video games, or, do you get off your ass, break out…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…

YoBeat’s New Year’s Resolutions

It's 2011 and with this shaping up to be the best season ever and all, it's time for some resolutions... so here's five! Feel free to ignore them, or if you wanna be as cool as us (hack, gag) then you should follow this amazingly good example we're setting and attempt to emulate them. 1. Stop the Ski Hate If you’ve been reading this site (or really any snowboard publication) for any amount of time, you’ll know how difficult this is going to be. Not only was hating on skiing ingrained in us by skiers themselves from the day we first strapped on that snowboard back in the 90s, but…

Hump Day Reconnects with Colin Langlois

The fact he is wearing all black is NOT why they call him the Panther. They say in life it’s all who you know, and for Colin Langlois, it’s been a lot of the right people. From growing up riding in Vermont under the tutelage of some east coast legends, to finding his way to Mammoth to be part of the original Grenade crew, he has always had a bit of a knack for being in the right place, at the right time. Of course, it has helped that he has skills on a snowboard (and rollerblades too), and is a lot of fun to be around and ride with,…

Feel free to ignore them, or if you wanna be as cool as us (hack, gag) then you should follow this amazingly good example we're setting and attempt to emulate them. 1. Stop the Ski Hate If you’ve been reading this site (or really any snowboard publication) for any amount of time, you’ll know how difficult this is going to be. Not only was hating on skiing ingrained in us by skiers themselves from the day we first strapped on that snowboard back in the 90s, but…

Hump Day Reconnects with Colin Langlois

The fact he is wearing all black is NOT why they call him the Panther. They say in life it’s all who you know, and for Colin Langlois, it’s been a lot of the right people. From growing up riding in Vermont under the tutelage of some east coast legends, to finding his way to Mammoth to be part of the original Grenade crew, he has always had a bit of a knack for being in the right place, at the right time. Of course, it has helped that he has skills on a snowboard (and rollerblades too), and is a lot of fun to be around and ride with,…

VGsnow.com Is Live

Do you like videos of snowboarding? Then you'll probably enjoy the newly launched VGsnow.com, cause there's lot of them on there, all gussied up in a better-than-blog format. Don't know about you, but I'm gonna get myself a nice frosty Monster Energy Drink and enjoy them all!

Five Companies You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of

It seems like every clown has a clothing company now. Any why not? This is America, where rumor is, you can do anything you want. All it takes is some ingenuity, a little bit of cash and a ton of hard work, and there you have it, your own clothing brand. At least, that's the dream. Most people though, never get beyond the idea part, and having an actual operating business isn't as common as you'd think. The following five brands come from across the country (and even one in the middle) and all have their own unique style. The one thing they all have in common: the are all…

Hump Day Jumps Buildings with Austin Smith

For someone who's managed to blow out his knee, not once, but twice, Austin Smith has actually had a very blessed snowboard career. After two years out with injury, he's got still got the sponsor support and to get back out there, and this year, that's exactly what he plans to do. With accolades such as rookie of the year and video part of the year already under his belt, it seems unlikely that he'll have any trouble. Just don't expect him to throw any triple corks. So you just got yourself a house in Portland, where young people go to retire... but you're not hurt anymore, so how is…

It’s Not Ski Bowl but…

I really had high hopes for this season, even hailing it as the BEST EVER but I swear, it's almost like there is some greater force trying to prevent me from riding lately. You may remember the pass-pulling incident of 2010. That didn't help things. Then it turns out the "Super Value" element of my Ski Bowl pass is actually sort of annoying, seeing as today seemed like a mighty nice day to snowboarding in honor of MLK, but alas, it's blacked out. I've concocted a scheme to get tickets at Tline by giving them coverage. The only thing, I'm trying to make it look good up there and every…

How to Make the Best of a Shitty Day

It would be great if every day you went snowboarding was sunny, bluebird and knee deep. Ski resorts would never have to resort to tricky language, and you'd never have to think about if it's going to be worth the drive. Unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. In fact, more often than not, the strings of bluebird pow days happen while you're at work, and then your one day off ends up being cold and rainy. So you have a decision to make: do you sit at home, watch some reality TV and maybe play some video games, or, do you get off your ass, break out…

Never Been Done!

Now that I've got this snazzy new site, I guess I'd better produce some fresh content, right? Well luckily, I've got a GoPro and I'm not afraid to use it, so I present another epic Ski Bowl edit! Today Jared slid his first box, which sounds kinda dirty if your mind is in the gutter. But really, it was wholesome fun for the whole family and inspired me to also do some unlikely stunting, such sliding as park boxes you couldn't just ride on to. It didn't go as poorly as I had expected, and I might be getting into this "park" business, even though I once wrote about how…
