Blond Babe Making Snow Angels in Bikini
Sometimes snowboard culture relates to the hilariousness that occurs at the mountain, regardless of whether that actually has to do with boarding itself. I'm not sure exactly why this situation occured, but this blond girl decided to do some snow angels in the powder, wearing only a bikini. This is some pretty funny stuff.

Mad River Glen Ski Resort Doesn't Allow Snowboarding
Press Release regarding allowing snowboarders to ride at Mad River Glen Ski Resort
Get this guys phone to ring!

Marketing Director Email: eric@madriverglen.com
Website: www.madriverglen.com
Release Date: June 1, 2007
Despite the fact that snowboarders account for 25-30% of all lift tickets sold in the United States, don’t expect Mad River Glen to lift its ban on snowboards any time soon. While the overall percentage of tickets purchased by snowboarders continues to grow, many question how Mad River Glen can exclude this expanding market. Mad River Glen’s skier-owners (it is America ’s only cooperatively owned, not-for-profit ski area) believe there are enough skiing purists to carve out a viable market niche. Recent results con-firm the theory. “Since the co-op took over ownership of the mountain in 1995 we have shown steady growth across the board,” said Marketing Director, Eric Friedman. “We are fortunate that there is a growing number of skiers seeking the kind of experience that we offer. Sure, we might see a spike in revenues if we allowed snowboards, but money is not our overriding concern; protecting and preserving our unique ski experience is what our owners clearly want.”
Many people don’t realize that Mad River actually did allow snowboards very early on in snowboarding history. Betsy Pratt, Mad River Glen’s previous owner, was friendly to snowboards, but ran into safety issues on Mad River Glen’s main lift, a 1948 Single Chair. After that snowboards were restricted from the Single and then, after a couple of legendary confrontations between Betsy and some local riders, she decided to ban snowboards entirely. When the Co-op took over the mountain the shareholders voted on the issue with more than 75% voting to maintain the snowboarding ban. “We want to make clear that there is no animosity towards snowboarders. The ski industry is very competitive and our ownership believes that the snowboarding policy is the best course for Mad River Glen,” explains Friedman. The reasons for the snowboarding ban vary depending on who you talk to. Some say it would ruin Mad River ’s unique character. “Our Single Chair, the cooperative ownership, the natural snow skiing, the non-commercial atmosphere, and the skiers- only policy are what make Mad River Glen special. We don’t want to end up being like every other ski area,” said Mad River shareholder Jim Tynan. Others believe that snowboarders would ruin the legendary moguls, while still others feel that they would scrape the natural snow off Mad River Glen’s sinewy trails.
Whatever the reason, it is unlikely that there will be snowboarding at Mad River Glen any time soon. The only way the policy can change is if a two-thirds majority of the shareholders vote to change it. Don’t hold your breath! Alta and Deer Valley in Utah are the only other areas in North America that do not allow snowboards.

Urban Jib on Snowboards
A new sport of jumping over urban sculptures and art. Its dangerous and painful. We decided to rig up the wench and see if we could boost over the urban art sculpture. Chase Cleveland and Nick Ennen gave it a shot. Kyle Walton and Tarek Husevold held the reins and cranked on the motor, while Jeremy Dubs Filmed. The first thing that was sketchy was that if Kyle gassed the motor for too long, the tow rope would launch at him and Tarek at high speed. It did just that and almost nailed them in the face. So they found garbage cans to cover themselves, and went back to work. Nick Ennen overshot the landing, and undershot it as well, but in the end, he came through with a clean landing.

SnowboardSeattle.com - Snowboard Seattle
SnowboardSeattle.com is a cool online community of local Washington residents that I joined quite a while ago, and its always interesting to post on there and see the responses you get from other members. Theres a hardcore Alpental/Hyak Snoqualmie thing going on, with most of the members seeeming to be loyal to that network of mountains. It has some other interesting chats about ridesharing on the way to the mountain and snow reports. I like the simplicity of simply trying to serve the chatting needs of Washington locals about various subjects, stupid, funny, snow-related and not.
