The leaked Hannah Teter video everyone isn’t talking about is right here for your prurient perusal. (For the second time in eight years, but who’s counting.)

In a recent marketing emailer with the subject line “All New Skiing Stuff From RIDE,” the brand is apparently making a statement about their core commitment to snowboarding. Seems they forgot to add the line: “But if you want skis (or snowshoes, or inline skates) you can get them from K2 Sports, the mega-corp that controls, manages, and owns us completely.” Core, not that core.

We were saddened to learn that former Associate Editor of Snowboard Canada, Managing Editor of Transworld Snowboarding, and Dew Tour content director Gerhard Gross died Tuesday, August 14, 2018 after nearly two years of bravely, stubbornly striving to survive stomach cancer. He was 39.
Unlike many in the snowboard industry we didn’t get much time with Gerhard before his diagnosis, but we will forever cherish every minute we spent with him, his wife Kris, and their son Gerhard Gross IV. Our thoughts are with Kris, little G, and Gerhard’s entire family. For more on Gerhard and his life in snowboarding please click the links below.

Bonfire has a new website for the new season and the guy responsible would like you to check it out. Here’s what Tim Swart has to say about it:
“an exciting moment today launching the winter 18/19 Bonfire website! I have been a big fan and user of Bonfire consistently since the brand’s inception. Re-igniting Bonfire in the market and being able to roll out a fresh, new and exciting site for the brand, products and riders is a treat. Check it out here: https://bonfireouterwear.com

Admittedly, we haven’t been paying much attention to anything that doesn’t fall pre-packaged into our email boxes, but we did want to take a moment to remember all the good times we’ve had with Yobeat.com over the past 21 years. There are far too many to mention, but let’s just say that we were there at the beginning, we’re thankful for everything the site helped create, and we’re glad to still be here waving goodbye to the last great independent snowboarding website.
Here’s what Yobeat’s founder Brooke Geery had to say about the site’s demise:
Dear Dedicated Readership,
Twenty-one years. When I began this website on my AOL account, I never imagined it would last this long or take me to the places it has. But they say all good things must come to an end, and my friends, that day is today. The website you love to hate will not see any futher updates. It will remain online for the time being, but may be deleted at any time. I recommend you print out your favorite articles now or forever live in regret when they are gone.
This was not an easy decision to come to, and it was aided in large part by a legal battle with my former partner. As a result, the name Yobeat no longer belongs to me. For the record, the instagram @yobeat is no longer affiliated with this website and any merchandise you may encounter is not either. The media juggernaut and the T-shirt company have parted ways and I do not want to do anything to inadvertently promote the latter.
Instead, I aim to continue my efforts on a new platform under the name Blower Media. As of right now, it’s just a logo and some stickers, but it could be something amazing some day. Stay tuned.
Brooke Geery
Founder, Editor, Publisher, Yobeat.com.
1997-2018
RIP

Longtime snowboard industry head Randy Torcom is the latest (of a growing list) to join the legal weed movement by taking a job at C21 Investments, as Vice President of Marketing. The company is focused on “building and acquiring market leading marijuana brands,” according to a press release.
“Brand integrity and authenticity are critical for success in the cannabis industry,” said Torcom. “C21 Investments is committed to a strong national and international brand strategy that delivers a compelling proposition of high-quality products, with life-style and value delivery that consumers can have a deep and meaningful connection with that will stand the test of time.”
Like, uh? Whoa! Sorry, just spilled our Cheetos. For the official word from . . . like, wait, what were we just saying? Oh, ha, whatever. (We apologize for resorting to old, cliche stoner jokes in spite of the fact that marijuana is now a respected, mostly legal, and sometimes elegant form of adult relaxation.)

The Vail Resorts borg is apparently not satiated just yet as it “entered into a purchase agreement” with Triple Peaks, LLC the owners of Okemo Mountain, in Ludlow, Vt., Mount Sunapee, in Newbury, N.H., and Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado.
The sale includes the three ski resort operations, as well as Okemo Valley Golf Club in Ludlow, Vt., and Tater Hill Golf Club in Windham, Vt. As part of the transaction, Vail Resorts will also own the leasehold assets presently owned by Och-Ziff Real Estate. . . “Diane and I are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished at the three resorts for the last 36 years,” remarked Tim Mueller, co-owner and president of Triple Peaks, LLC. “We have had the great privilege of working with a lot of smart, hardworking, dedicated team members, as well as many other people in the local communities and the states where the resorts are located.”
Yes, young slider, soon you’ll only need one pass to ride them all. For the official word from Triple Peaks, please follow the jump.
