Endeavor Snowboards and Ransom Holding Co. got together to produce an original snowboard that “pays homage to the brand’s Canadian heritage. Beer, igloos, and Skidoos? No, something much better (but there are Skidoos), watch.

When a bank robber in Sterling, Virginia wanted to walk in for some fresh cash on February 14, 2013 he wanted to look his best, according to a story in the Daily Monitor.
The suspect is described as being 6’ tall with an athletic build. He was wearing a black and grey beanie style hat with the numbers 686 on the front and sunglasses. He was also wearing a heavy black jacket and black shirt at the time of the robbery.
Can’t look all ruffled when you’re robbing a bank, especially when you need the money for Valentines Day. If the guy looks familiar (Dennis Rodman?) hit up the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475. They may have a gift for you, too.

From the “over-engineered snowboard gadget file” comes the Boarder Kontrol snowboard brake systems developed by Australian Tony Haddleton. He calls the device a “revolutionary new concept in snowboard tuition.” We think it’s probably much less complicated to just to learn to turn, but we’ll let you be the judge.

Earlier in the week Endeavor Snowboards officially announced the addition of Rusty Ockenden and Cam Pierce to the pro team. They let us know yesterday.
“As a photographer, I’ve had my lens on Rusty for a few years now. He has great style, goes big and stomps his tricks” says Endeavor partner and Transworld Magazine Senior Photographer Scott Serfas. “Cam made a name for himself as one of the best up and coming urban riders as a youngblood on the Forum team. He has one of the best styles in the game and I believe he’s a perfect fit for Endeavor. I’m really looking forward to working with both these guys a lot more on and off the snow.”

A 32-year-old German snowboarder who fell headfirst into deep snow, suffocated Wednesday (February 6, 2013) at the Salzburg’s Saalbach-Hinterglemm, according to a story in the Austrian Independent.
Before the lifts closed down at Reiterkogel, a group of snowboarders went off slope. The German was the last one of the group and got stuck in a trench where, according to the Alpine police, up to four metres of fresh snow had accumulated. . .There, the man fell down – head first – and could obviously not support his weight anywhere. Thus, he was not able to breathe. . . His friends quickly realized that he was missing, started searching for him and called the lift attendants.
A doctor who flew in with the rescue helicopter “could not resuscitate the man,” according to the story. It sounds very similar to the British snowboarder who died in December at Chamonix. Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends.

Our favorite independent snowboarding website Yobeat is crowd sourcing a snowboard movie and they want you to be in it. The movie titled YoMerica! will be filmed by everyone featuring everyone. Here’s what it’s about:
It’s about you, me, us and we. It’s about going snowboarding, taking turns, laps, night riding and all the feelings that made us start and keep riding. It’s for the kids who ride every day, the warriors who drive hours each weekend for a few laps on some shitty hill, the good kids who hook up their friends and the pros who inspire us all. This is a film for snowboarders, no matter where they fall on the totem pole, to enjoy, laugh at and contribute to.
We better get our filmer on the program so we can start collecting some footy. You should, too. For the official details, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Squaw Valley via Google Maps.
The Google has reportedly added maps of 38 resorts to their Google Maps app, according to a post on ABC News.
Now you can find your way to never-ending mogul fun on the Mad Wolf run at Montana’s Big Sky Resort, or navigate to Vermont’s Stowe Mountain Resort’s freestyle terrain parks for shredding bliss. . . Other popular ski resorts on the app include Aspen and Vail in Colorado, Sun Valley in Idaho, Squaw Valley and Mammoth Mountain in California, and Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont.
At this rate soon we won’t even have to take our brains with us when we go outside. And that’s some good news.

The Colored Cow never lets anything get in the way of some good hyperbole. This year the SuperNatural has been upgraded to the UltraNatural. Event creator Travis Rice believes the 2013 event will evoke a “paradigm shift” in snowboarding. And what did they do? They put more unnatural objects in to enhance the naturalness so that it becomes ultra natural. Get it? Oh, and that other voice you hear in the middle? That’s Jamie Lynn. Can’t argue with that guy about snowboarding.
