It was Pat “The Eye” Bridges who introduced the North American snowboard world to “The Dingo,” so no one could say it better. We’ll all miss you, Dingo.

Shaun White and friends, who seem to believe people will pay to stand out in the cold to watch the first The Snow League halfpipe contest at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado March 7-8, 2025, have released ticket prices.
The listed price for finals day is $50. Sounds steep, right? There’s a catch. . . if you live in Colorado (which means pretty much everyone who might go) you get half off the ticket price. So it’s actually $25.
Saturday March 8 – Finals Day (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.) – includes Big Boi Concert
General Admission tickets are $50 ($60 on March 1) – Colorado Residents can save 50% on tickets by using code CO50 on General Admission tickets. Offer expires March 1.
They claim prices will go up on March 1, however, we’re guessing they’re get down pretty close to FREE by the time the event rolls around. If you’re interested (Big Boi will be there), and you want to go, click the link for all the ticket details.

More sad snowboarding news from Utah.
On the morning of December 31, 2024, a solo splitboarder in the Silverfork Canyon area of the Salt Lake mountains triggered an avalanche on north-facing terrain below Davenport Hill at nearly 9,800 feet. The avalanche caught, carried, and fully buried him under approximately 20 feet of snow. A separate party in Little Cottonwood Canyon noticed the debris and alerted Alta Central. Search and rescue teams quickly responded, locating the individual using an avalanche transceiver. Despite their efforts, the individual tragically did not survive the accident.

Damn, it seems like only yesterday that Jason Brown was showing me the hand-inked logo for his new snowboard brand. . . but Blue, Gumby, Johan, and the C3 crew really have done an amazing job not only surviving in the snowboard business, but by the looks of their “30,000 boards in the warehouse” flex. . . thriving. Congrats.

Last week, three-time world and four-time world cup halfpipe champion (and singing heiress impregnator) Scotty James released a book with Penguin Australia titled Mooki vs The Big Scary. Here’s how they pitch it:
Adventure has a new name, and it is MOOKi! MOOKi vs The Big Scary combines thrilling adventure with valuable life lessons, all wrapped in the imaginative world of Scotty James. . . MOOKi embodies the spirit of dreaming big and overcoming hurdles, inspired by Scotty’s own life. . . You will laugh out loud at the results of MOOKi’s bravado. . . This book is a page-turner for young readers, each page filled with excitement. . . Vivid and eye-catching illustrations bring MOOKi’s world to life from beginning to end.
Do we believe this? Not really. But if you’d like to check Mooki out yerself click the link.
PS: Yes, a great way to get over writer’s block is to hire another writer to write your books for you. Genius.

After graduating from Dartmouth (with an engineering degree) in 1985, Bob Mighell decided that snowboards needed to step up to at least ski level production values. So, he and his roommate launched Edge Snowboards. Here’s a little bit of that back story that many have not heard before.
