August is 2 days away and snow isn’t something most people think about right now. Loveland on the other hand is hard at work, as most resorts are getting ready for the 10/11 season. Last season, Loveland was the first resort to open in North America followed closely by Arapahoe Basin. This season will be most likely be no different, so stay tuned here and at their website. We are going to try and make it out there again this year so stay with us.
Looks like Mountain High got in trouble for the Sugar Bowl opening this past season. This is really a shame, that terrain added a whole new area to the resort, a markedly different area compared to the normal areas of the resort. I enjoyed riding back there as I’m sure anyone else would, it’s too bad it won’t be open. Here’s a “run-through” we did last season. Full press release after the break. Continue Reading…
Every summer I take my yearly trip up north to visit family, and of course, get in some summer snowboarding as well as ride some of the great skate parks Oregon has to offer. Here are some pics that I have taken thus far. More images to come. Continue Reading…
It’s that time of year again, no there isn’t snow on the ground yet but it’s time for new rails, and for the old rails to get a refresh. Not too much happening yet, and I still can’t “reveal” the new colors but it’s nice to know the work has begun and winter is again that much closer! Pics after the break. Continue Reading…
Well, that’s it for the 2010-2011 (lift accessed) ski season, Mammoth closed it’s doors today after operating for over 8 months. Now, I know Mt. Hood is open as well as Blackcomb glacier but we’ll just not count those for the sake of this post. Follow through past the break and take a gander a few snapshots from last week, taken around Mammoth. Continue Reading…
Our cool, snowy spring paid off for most resorts in the region, with some SoCal resorts staying open until May 3rd. Well, Boreal is giving back and building up a full park for everyone the weekend of the 10/11.
Break out the ski and board gear for some summer shredding. For only $20, come up to Boreal from 10am – 2pm, July 10th & 11th to enjoy the abundance of snow left from the snowy spring. A full terrain park will be built out for you to enjoy, accessed via the Castle Peak Quad. 2010/2011 season passes will be accepted, and will be on sale during the day. Gather 5 friends to purchase season passes to save even more.
As some of you may know, one of the Mt. High groomers passed away this week. Jeremiah Pebley was a great snowcat operator and overall a great person. His experience stemmed from his early days at world famous Snow Summit and Bear on to Snow Park Technology and finally to Mt. High. He was responsible for many huge events such as the X-games and U.S Open, as well as countless photoshoots. I personally worked with him many long hours this season and it’s sad to lose him.

Wow, finally some mainstream exposure that reflects well upon the resort. This is just the first product of many photoshoots this season. Let’s hope they all turn out this good! Oh, I should also mention there’s groundbreaking photography in this video too.
Well well well, Mikey actually decided to leave SoCal. It only took him, what? 5 months? Anyway, these photos weren’t meant to be a park report but hey, they are here so let’s use them! Read on for all the details, maybe I can get Mikey to type up some words. For now, enjoy the pictures courtesy of the traveling man otherwise known as JJ. Continue Reading…
