Buckle Up Big Air – To honor the memory of Greg Smith, one of Sierra Resort’s freestyle team members and a beloved friend to many local skiers and riders, Sierra Resort hosted a memorial slopestyle event, Buckle Up Big Air, raising $2,800. Part of the funds raised went to the Greg Smith scholarship fund for the Sierra Foundation, a non-profit organization that assists families whose children want to be a part of Sierra Resort’s competitive teams. The remaining funds will go to create a memorial terrain feature in Sierra Resort’s terrain parks, where Greg spent many happy days with his friends. The event is really grown to be a good time for the whole family, Last year My two of my daughters join me in filming the event for Kmtn TV. The Skiers and snowboarders really didn’t hold back, they came to compete. we ended up with some great footage, looking forward to this years event……Bob From SOT

Volcom Goes Hee-Haw at the (SIA) Ski Industry of America trade show. Leave it to Volcom to make alot of noise, spew hay all over the Ski Show and have a great time doing it. From the beginning Volcom has done it’s own thing, one might say they think out side the box…but they would say “wow you mean to tell me there’s a box?” Volcom’s outrageous behavior has cost them over the years, known to be fined at trade shows is just the beginning. Most of their trouble is in the noise department, this year was tame in light of their heavy metal theme a few years ago. the best thing about all this distraction is it gives those who are moaning about the poor economy something else to complain about.
