Last week, the Great Northeast got hit with some snow. Granted it was only in the higher elevations on Vermont and New York, it still reassures us that winter is just around the corner.
Thanks to twitter, youtube, some snowboard addict friends, and countless websites it was more than evident that everyone is ready to shred. If you had your head in a whole here's a look at some pictures and videos as evidence.

That's right lads and gents, Sunday River is officially the first mountain to open for the 2010/2011 season. They may only have one run open, but it's one run that wasn't available two days ago.
Here's a quick video of a shredder making some turns at Stowe, VT. While you're at it, get the gear out because winter is a'coming!
This season I'm planning on doing some contest and event coverage on the East Coast. So far I am confirmed to cover the following contests and events:
Boston Ski and Snowboard Expo
Eastern Snowboard League - Holiday Valley
Winter Dew Tour - Killington
US Open - Stratton
The east coast isn't blessed with a large number of contests and I know I'm most likely missing some. If you have a contest that you'd like to see covered, leave a comment.
Snow is beginning to fall every where but here but non the less winter is on it's way!
Here's a look at this year's US Open Rail Jam, courtesy of Snowboarder Mag. If you look carefully, you'll even catch a glimpse of the guys from Steezin Tv. Don't be fooled by the relaxed flow of these riders. This set-up was massive.
And so it began, our last day riding of the season.. Pete and I headed back out to the US Open to take a few runs and catch some of the Junior Jam half pipe competition.
Monday morning after a long night at work my husband and I headed up to West Mountain to use some free passes we had before all the snow melted. We ended up getting on the second and third chairs which was super sweet.
