BOULDER, CO – One of our favorite shred magazines is changing things up a bit moving forward. SNOWBOARD Magazine which started in 2004 is shutting down the print side of the operation to focus on digital content. Ain’t that swell, all kidding aside I welcome SNOWBOARD Magazine into the digital world and look forward to […]
Furberg, I know you must be thinking what in the hell is a Furberg? I’ve actually been saying the same thing over the past couple years as I heard chatter online about a new splitboard company based out of Norway of all places with a really funny name. It’s sort of like Fergie meets Justin […]

LOVELAND, CO – On August 8, 2014, I attended a music festival located on the grounds of a religious cult. Had I known this was the case beforehand I would have never have attended, nor promoted the event through our publication.

DENVER, CO – The Denver Airport Murals are simply, horrific however, most travelers fail to notice the Denver Airport Murals or their sinister meanings. Upon closer look, one must wonder why these pieces of art are on display in a public place such as Denver International Airport? After reading this article you may look at […]
Lib Tech is by far one of my favorite snowboarding companies. They always have killer snowboards (often with unique board profiles), they’re committed to environmental sustainability, and they’re basically located right in my backyard, out on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. So you can imagine my excitement when I got the opportunity to try out the 2015 […]
Should North American snowboard brands be manufacturing equipment oversees? Personally I think not, and am happy to announce that the GST (Global Sports Technologies) factory in Austria is closing! How did this happen? OEM manufacturing agreements – duh it’s called outsourcing 101.. Rumor has it lots of shred brands were having trouble paying on time. […]
