Finally some good news for the snowboard industry. This is exactly what I've been bitching for over the last year. Way to go TTR for finally listening!

As some may already know, I'm also a writer for Shredbetties.com and this past weekend I attended the Albany Ski & Snowboard Expo to get down on some interviews.
As each video goes up on the site, I'll post a link to it as well as the video. So here's Part I, checking in with Okemo Mountain.

November 7, 2010, Pablo Films released Euro Gap 3. It's the third year for the film, and definitely the best one to date. It stays true to it's bad boy antics and just presents some all around shred fun. Party scenes, ball busting pranks, and aweful 'Norwegan Karaoke' round out the film and may even make you giggle.

The film features Eero Ettala, Heiki Sorsa, Lauri Heiskari, Jussi Oksanen, Iikka Backstrom, and many more. So what are you waiting for? Head over to the website and check it out.

After hearing a lot of good things about 9191 (A Veeco Production), I picked it up and hoped it would meet my expectations. Instead, I was left with mixed feelings. It was a well edited video but the ending just kind of... ended. The teaser played it up to be something more than it really was.

This week's reflection is with Kelly Vance from ShredBetties.com. Check it out!

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.

As stated in a previous entry, I am doing a series of reflection interviews involving myself, other snowboarders, and snowboard companies. This weeks installment, and the first Reflection article is going to about the season I have had to this point. Take a look!

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.

I headed up to Jiminy Peak on Friday with a co-worker who wanted to try snowboarding for the first time. We headed out around noon and realized when we got there that we forgot lunch back at my place. Oops! I meant to feed her, I swear!

It's the middle of March but it looks and feels like it's the middle of April. We haven't had any new snowfall since the middle of February. Instead we've been getting some rain and some warm temps. Really?

Yesterday my husband and I decided to head up to West Mountain for the day. We hit up West a few times last season so it was nice to head back this year. I brought my camera but didn't end up taking any pictures while we were there. The visibility was really poor due to the fog and snow that was falling so I decided to forgo the pictures.

If anyone has made a trip to New York this winter, they might have left asking themselves, "Isn't it supposed to snow in New York?" One would wonder...

This weeks photo of the day is a picture I found of a snow storm we got here in Albany, NY in December 2007. 10 inches of snow fell from that storm alone!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!


If you were lucky enough to get some fresh snow, I hope you'll take advantage of it tomorrow!!!


Have a safe and happy night, on to 2010!

Sorry for the lack of updates the last week or so. There hasn't been a whole lot going on!!


I still haven't returned to the gym because my leg was still hurting pretty bad until a couple days ago.. and now I have a ridiculous head cold and I can't breath out of my nose. Not fair!!!


I'm hoping to being able to head back to the gym on either Monday or Tuesday. And I'll definitely be hitting up a mountain or two after Christmas.


And too all my southern state friends, NOT FAIR!!!! We didn't see any snow yesterday!

I've become a slacker this week. Bad news!! With Thanksgiving and whatnot, there has been no time to do anything.


I'm hoping to hit up a spin class tomorrow morning to make up for my lack of motivation the last couple days. And then this week is praying and hoping for snow!!! A couple mountains got between 6 and 18 inches overnight.


Can't wait to go boarding!! Training, writing, and boarding.. it's going to be an amazing winter!!
