Powder Panic
Resorts and ski areas across the country have experienced an interesting phenomenon this season: powder panic.  Now, don't get me wrong, skiers and snowboarders have always had that mob-mentality, freshies-frenzy when it comes to new snow and chairlift lines.  People have been known to shove, push, pole and also to be shoved, pushed, poled in the mess that is the rush for first chair and tha...
The Bitch is Back
La Nina has been a cold nasty lady this winter...well, at least for the shredheads in B.C burrowing through their streets en route to the snow encrusted mountaintops. We in Aspen have had it lucky.  We haven't had the slightest issue with parking in town or with having to decide if the furnace room or the fireplace is the best way to dry your ski gear. Yep, instead of shred outfit maintenance p...
Saddle Up with Pat and Tats: Episode 1
The Pat and Tats Show is back on program, and we've kicked it off with our first season of Saddle Up with Pat and Tats, presented by Tecnica/Blizzard. With minimal snowfall this early season, Pat's dreams have been full of powder shredding and good times from last season's escapades. Throw in some dirt skiing and you can call it early season! Watch this and pray for snow...it's time to shred ...

Quick edit courtesy of fellow Backcountry.com and Aspen/Snowmass team athlete, Chris Erickson. What a series of beautiful, bluebird days! So much fun out there in Aspen shredding with an amazing group of rippers. Keeping me on my toes and wind in my hair!
Trew Crew Posse Day on Ajax
Had a great time the other day with our local Trew Crew: John Pew, Casey Vandenbroek, Pat Sewell, JF Bruegger, Colter Hinchliffe, Parker Olson and more. It snowed 1/4in overnight and we took advantage of the freshies with slash-turn faceshots on every run. With this group, everyday is a powder day.  

Video: LINO’, an Animated Surf Flick

A film by Karem Rejeb

Check this video out…I’ve watched it ten times already. The music is super mellow, vibing well with the impressive stop-motion animation that makes those little Playmobil figurines look like they’re just shredding some epic waves.

Lino’, made by Karim Rejeb of KarimRejeb-SurfArt.com, is a masterpiece fit for anyone who has played with plastic toys.  His vision of the world of surfing, as exhibited in massive tarp/towel breaks and full tubes, sets a standard that many surf, or action sport, films aspire to.

As a van-camper, I really appreciate Rejeb’s inclusion of the classic road-trip RV camper; there’s nothing like hopping in a beat-up old vehicle and cruising with your buddies. Especially if they look like that guy with the gray hair and long, gray beard!  Toy hippies rock!

    Phew…! Reminded me of the good ‘ol days at 41st Avenue at Soquel and Steamer Lane at Santa Cruz…but minus the salt and sand in the crotch. I was a few generations ahead of Legos, but watched my son create fantastic adventures out of plastic. But tarps and sheets…Yahoo!
