Colorado

I am currently in Colorado enjoying the Sun and Snow (even if there is less than last year) so far it has been awesome and completely enjoyable. Hopefully conditions back east aren't deteriorating too much. I heard we even got a bit of snow, which is much needed after Tuesday was exceptionally warm again- 50+ degrees in mid January is just not cool... However while I'm having an awesome time here I will not be posting as much, there's just too much for me to do here!I hope you will understand:


In the meantime, I suggest everyone watch the X-Games which are taking place in Aspen this year and started today. Tomorrow will be the men and women's slopestyle, the snowboard Big Air Final and the women's SuperPipe Final- definitely all worth checking out. The events are viewable on ESPN or Espn.com A lot of awesome athletes like: Scotty Lago, Louie Vito, Kazuhiro Kokubo, IPod, Danny Davis, the Mitranis, Kelly Clark, Gretchen Bleiler, Hannah Teter, Torah Bright, Torstein Horgmo, Mikkel Bang, Seb Touts, Halldor Helgason and many many more.


ps. Two more days to vote in Real Snow!

Yesterday provided us viewers with some truly sick runs to watch in both slopestyle and superpipe. These athletes are really stepping up the game and the Dew Tour is bringing out a lot of lesser know young guns looking for their chance to really break in and grab their place in the sun. Check out a few of the highlights from day 2:



Day 3 is all about the Snowboard Slopestyle finals. The riders have been pulling out all the stops to throw down some really gnarly tricks on this massive course and it's all leading up to today. The current top 5 on tour are: Gjermund Braaten, Sebastien Toutant, Charles Reid, Chas Guldemond, and Mikkel Bang. Only 9 out of 32 riders will advance from yesterday's semi-finals to today's finals with Eric Willett taking that top spot.
