Snow This Weekend?
posted by on November 15 at 13:13 PM
Rumor has it that snow will finally hit the North Cascades this weekend! Jesus! La Nina don’t let us down!
Baker already has a base of 15”, and could get another 15” by Monday morning. Web cams at Stevens show they have a trace. Even Alpental has been teasing us with cam pics of the white stuff! The top of Timberline at Mt. Hood is looking to open this weekend!
But Ma Nature keeps turning on the rain during the day and washing away a hard nights work.
It’s killing me!
So to bide my time during the weeks of waiting I’ve been watching these great new vids from Forum Snowboards that just arrived at iTunes for $1.99 a piece. Devun Walsh (I am totally growing my hair out and bleaching it blond!), Stevie Bell (the OG of snowboarding), Eddie Wall, and Travis Kennedy show us how to take snowboarding from the mountain to the streets.
Whistler backcountry, Sweden… there’s even a beautiful scene in a skatepark in some European town. The boys just take it down.
Here’s Devun at Whistler from “That”:
…and Stevie with some cute little bears on the street somewhere in Sweden from the same (nice laugh track!):
Don’t miss the other two vids, FYI and North, South, East, West. And go get your board tuned and waxed. Snow’s almost here!
Fucking best use of Supertramp EVER.
Was this ENTIRE post to advertise for SnowboardConnection, or what.
Damn hippies.
no it wasn't, but they're right downtown, locally owned in a new location across from REI, they're nice as hell and they do a great job.
well lah-dee-dah.
Affluent kids and their toys. Let's hope the rest of the world can afford to live the way we do, dammit!
You people and your mountains. Bah!
This is good. But November snow always turns into December slush, followed by January ice. When's that train to Whistler open up?
If you skateboard you don't have to spend a kagillion $$$ on this years "cool" gear and you don't have to wait for snow to fall up in the mountains to enjoy yourself and get some exercise.
Oh yeah - there's also a meeting for the much kicked around SeaSk8 relocation tonight.

Skateboarding and snowboarding are not mutually exclusive, are they?
Speaking as a North Dakotan, I would suggest that snow is meant to be flat, depressing, and no fun. As Jesus Christ and the Holy Catholic Church intended it to be.
Of course, I'm spending the winter in Fort Lauderdale.
Oh my god, laterite, you're kidding! I just came on here to say that Supertramp song was the WORST snowboard vid soundtrack I've ever heard. I had to shut it off.
Cool jump, though.
hell yea....the snow cometh...and that is sick!
