Snowboarding
Forum Snowboards is happy to announce the exclusive Peter Line softgoods collection called The Peter Line featuring a fisherman-style beaning, a kitty titty t-shirt, and a jacket (surprisingly not called a “jack-it”).
“My line of clothes was pretty much inspired by punk rock, boobs and kittens. It’s easy to see this in the PL jacket, but you probably don’t know that the beanie I designed doubles as boob warmers and can be used as an old fashion slingshot for kittens, a handheld cat-a-pult if you will.”
The Peter Line is available in shops everywhere.

A Basin opened today (October 13, 2011) on an 18 inch base of nozzle blast (and a few inches of natural snow) and Loveland is reportedly opening tomorrow (October 14, 2011 on the white ribbon of death pictured on the right.
Looks like Denver area shreds can finally get their slide on. Side note: Wolf Creek killed them all in the annual “first to open” competition by getting their lifts running last Saturday.

Alaska Tailgate founder Mark Sullivan is happy to announce that he has signed a new title sponsorship agreement with Flow Snowboarding which will come in handy now that there are two events, (Tailgate Alaska and Tailgate BC) on the 2012 schedule.
Flow Snowboarding CEO Anthony Scaturro, “We are very excited to step up as the title sponsor for the Tailgate events. 2012 will be Flow’s third year of involvement. We have seen the event change lives and educate people on backcountry riding, which we hope will help save lives. While the competition component is a great part of the event, we love the fact that it is more about community than competition. It is a composition of freeriding, backcountry freestyle infused with a whole lot of fun. At Tailgate, everyone is a winner“.
For all the official info, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

It’s easy to slip on gear and head out into the snow knowing you’re going to stay warm and dry, but how often do we think about what goes into manufacturing the gear? Rarely. That’s why it’s cool to see this how they do it in 686’s factory in China. Check it.

If this Scotty Vine part doesn’t get you in the mood to ride nothing will.
“In snowboarding, I believe imagination and creativity go hand and hand,” Scotty says. “Potential for creativity is everywhere, but people need to learn to recognize it by using their minds. I’ll never stop imagining or creating, because to me, that’s what makes snowboarding fun.”
This clip pretty much proves it.

Snow shreds can continue to look like Vermont pig farmers, Sierra chain monkeys, or resort lift maintenance crew with the launch of Burton’s new, updated Carhartt collection.
The Burton x Carhartt WIP jacket is based off of one of Carhartt’s most popular and rugged designs, aptly called the Traditional. For this project, the special co-branded edition is constructed from a double layer GORE-TEX® Performance Oxford shell featuring fully taped seams protected by 13 mm GORE-SEAM® tape. . . The Burton x Carhartt WIP pant is modelled after Carhartt’s classic Single Knee pant, also slightly modified by the collective design team for a better snowboard meets streetwear fit. Fabrication on the pant is also second to none, featuring the double layer GORE-TEX® Performance Oxford shell and GORE-TEX® taped seams.
People who work in Carhartt everyday are probably going to be more stoked on this than anyone else. The sets come in Brown or Black and are available today in select retail outlets. Follow the jump for the official word. (We’d link you directly to the product, but Burton’s website is impossible to navigate). [click to continue…]

Sometimes crazy backcounty snowboarding looks fun. Then there are the lines that Xavier de Le Rue takes: fun is rarely a good description for the sphincter-gripping gnar walls that Xavier apparently enjoys negotiating. This clip for TimeLine’s This is My Winter explains it.
A movie giving mountain lovers a unique chance to experience the mountain from Xavier de Le Rue’s point of view, when serious business starts. . . While one of the worst winter season strikes Europe TimeLine crew relentlessly sought the best spots and conditions along with Xavier’s friends and riding partners to deliver the best possible part for standard films TB20 movie.
See what we mean?
