Flow easy in easy out, still way ahead of its time! The new ratchets allow you extra adjustments during the day, so you feet are less fatigued. Rear entry design makes it the fastest binding to the powder for those of you suffering from Mad Pow disease.

We awoke to snow, snow, snow and more snow. We got over two feet of snow at lake level. The next few days it is to continue. If you are planning a trip during the Christmas break, consider Tahoe, because we have the white stuff and then some.

Volcom the real deal…

Check out this great feature from the brains at Sessions. You can make your hood larger to fit over your helmet or keep it smaller for no helmet. Sessions continues to create the best in function and fashion for both skiers and snowboarders.

Over the past the past few years that Mike has worked for Shoreline we have had an on going conversation about Skating and Snowboarding as an art form. My first red neck response of course was BS! It’s just random hits and spins that’s not art. This reaction did have a bit of history behind it, I think the word “art” has come to mean anything, I mean all you have to do these days is poop in a jar, add a carrot and a door knob and call it Pop art. This mindless junk that has been cranked out for the last 40 years has worn out its welcome. Art should be disciplined, orderly, and be highly intelligent.
After seeing this filmed at Sierra at Tahoe I’m convinced that this is true art in its finest form. Mike and Anthony combine Athletes and Cameras to produce really great art work. This kind of imagery should receive higher recognition, but how do you measure such a thing? This kind of creativity will continue to be taken for granted by most who don’t realize that this is art.
The demand to consume these visual works of art have been increased by Youtube, this a good and bad thing for film makers, its great to have a medium to show case the great works but with this medium comes the copy right violation, the justification that action videos should be free. With that mind set soon this form of art work will become impossible to produce.
There is an old stereotype “the starving artist” this was the common pattern that an artist would work his whole life painting works of art, in total poverty. Some never getting recognition while alive. This could be the case too for skate and snowboard artist who struggle to be respected by a generation that demands and steals their artwork with little or no remorse for the artist.

Check out the Rome Anthem SS, I rode it and it performed great! it was a one of those days with different types of snow, icy in the shade, yet soft in places. What I was impressed with was how it handled the transition from icy to to soft without kicking out. You know, that awful feeling when you think your edge slips out from under you and you go down. Snappy and quick this board rips.

Thursday, November 22, 2007
As the holiday season begins, 67% of American adults like stores to use the phrase “Merry Christmas” in their seasonal advertising rather than “Happy Holidays.” A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 26% prefer the Happy Holidays line.

There is no gender gap on this question and few demographic differences. From a politically partisan perspective, 88% of Republicans prefer “Merry Christmas” while just 57% of Democrats favor the saying.

The poll says … Merry Christmas!
By Michelle Healy, USA TODAY November 30th 2009
If you think greetings such as “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings” are poor substitutes for “Merry Christmas,” you’ve got company.
A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday finds that 69% of adults surveyed say “Merry Christmas” is the greeting they most likely would use this time of year when first meeting someone. That’s up from 56% in 2004. Only 29% would opt for “Happy Holidays,” down from 41% in 2004.
