Snowing in the PNW
September 29th, 2009 
Justin Yup, it’s noticeably colder than it has been the past few days. Yup, it’s raining. Yup, you know what that means. Yeaaah buddy it’s coming. Whistler Stevens Pass Hood Tatoosh up near Rainier Paradise visitor center
BCA Float 30 – inflation video
September 29th, 2009 Justin Came across this video on the Backcountry Access Float 30 avalanche airbag being inflated. While BCA isn’t the first company to market an airbag pack for the backcountry they are definitely the most affordable option (by about 50%), with the Float 30 set to MSRP for a buck under $500 when it releases later this [...]
Safire’s speech for Apollo 11 disaster
September 28th, 2009 Justin Yeah, initially that sounds way off-topic, I realize. Came across this speech today and thought it had some interesting thought parallels to those that explore the outdoors and push the limits, and don’t make it back. A eulogy of sorts for those that strive for firsts.
Snow panther
September 28th, 2009 Justin 80% of the time it snows every time. Snow forecasted for this week. Yes, I realize that means we’re that means we’re inching ever closer to that period of nonstop rain and near perpetual darkness, where it’s dark when you leave for work and dark when you come home, but if you don’t get excited [...]
Farewell summer
September 22nd, 2009 Justin I hardly knew thee… …but don’t get it twisted. When I was living in the CA I wasn’t lamenting over the inability to surf at 9:30 midsummer. Sure, that’s great and all, but what I really missed were beautiful blue skys on a warm day with crisp evening air, AM fog on the rivers, ground [...]
What is snowboarding to you?
September 21st, 2009 Justin Came across this over at Jeremy Jones’ site. “I am not sure when I wrote it but I assume it was late at night trying to clear my brain so I could sleep.” Thought a top rider clearing his head to sleep by writing an ‘ode to snowboarding’ (and subsequently releasing it for public consumption) [...]
What happens when idiots leave their garbage behind?
September 18th, 2009 Justin Came across this article today on FLOG. Apparently the 4th of July bowl summer jib park has been shut down and removed by the USFS due to idiots leaving their garbage behind. I’ve seen a LOT of shit this summer on the rivers – waist deep and casting lines while Starbucks cups, water bottles and [...]
Absinthe Film’s ‘Neverland’ hits Seattle tomorrow
September 16th, 2009 Justin Posting for my Seattle peeps as I just discovered the Portland showing was a week ago. Absinthe’s ‘Neverland’ showing at the Egyptian on Thursday, 9/17. Snowboard flick premieres are always a good time, and seems like there are always boards and bindings and whatnots being given away so you may get lucky. So grab a [...]
Wakesnowboarding?
September 16th, 2009 Justin It should be noted that I find wakeboarding to be the redheaded stepchild (spoiled redheaded stepchild given their use of $30k+ boats?) of boardsports. Granted, if I didn’t have mountains or the ocean at my disposal I’d probably respect wakeboarding a bit more (of course if the queen had balls she’d be king…). But, since [...]
