Meet Steve - we saw him down at the Canyon Lodge gondola this weekend at the beginning of the day.  I noticed his cute kitten board - one of the Burton Un.Inc series a few seasons back.  I squealed when I saw the board (what can I say, I love little kitties and [...]

Snowboard Safety - To Helmet or Not to Helmet?

Submitted by www.snowboard-women.com
When you ride, do you wear a helmet?  And why or why not?
I know people who don’t wear helmets because they “look dorky.”  I’d rather look a little dorky than break my head open, thanks.  Personally I will not ride without one because I ride in a lot of trees and as I’ve [...]

I like YoBeat.
Allow me to expand on that. I like YoBeat because they do REAL interviews with snowboarders who REALLY have something to say about our sport. You won’t find any crap on there from Shaun White or Chas Guldemond about how stoked they are that they crammed an extra 180 [...]
