Burton 2014 catalogue



It's that time of year again. The shred season is in full swing and it's time to start looking ahead. This means that the trade shows are in full swing and we are seeing the first glimpses of next seasons products. To me this is a really interesting time and I've been following a lot of different blogs and forums to get the lowdown on what's to come. In years to come it would be cool to attend some of these shows in person. Let's see what the future holds.

The new B catalogue was posted in one of the threads over at EasyLoungin.  Feast your eyes on the new B goods here (hard goods) and here (soft goods). The Juice Wagon is the one board I'm most stoked about! The new Barracuda graphics are also really nice, especially the 157... Also looking forward to the Restricted products.  



Both picture are screenshots from above mentioned catalogue.

Day by day - Chapter 5 - Lines without lines


It's one hell of a grey & slushy morning in Helsinki. Yesterday's planning session for our upcoming trip to the Alps is one hell of a motivator to get up and going... and so is watching this clip by True Color Films. "Mu" & some friends doing what we all should be doing, shredding powder.

Whistler Bluebird Days



More Whistler. This time bluebird days. Sweet dreamin' of pow pow. It's on the list of places to visit before I keel over. A mission is in the works. 

Monday Pow Day



It's snowing outside. Go shred some pow. Or watch the poncho in the deep pow pow.

Burton: Craig's Proto Lab



This little film made my heart beat a bit faster. Once again I realized that there's so much more to learn about snowboarding. Keeps it interesting. Need to dig deeper and dwell further. 

Shredding in Ruka



Just spent 6 perfect days in Finnish Lapland at a resort called Ruka. The Lapland scenery is something else. So beautiful and peaceful. It was really nice to go back to this resort where I first got into snowboarding in the early 90's. A nostalgic trip.



The weather conditions were just perfect and we had some fresh as well. The slopes and "off pistes" (mainly tree runs) were sooo good to ride and there were hardly any people at all.  I realized (once again) that there is no better feeling than crusin' & charging down the mountain. It's just really good for mind, body and soul!
