Was looking through the interwebs this AM, trying to find sneak peeks of 2013 gear that’d be relevant or interesting for the blog, and came across Switchback Bindings. To be honest I like the simplicity of their grinning highback logo, and the modular binding idea will go off in this day of ‘my pro

Good News on the Horizon

Doesn’t look like the accumulations are going to be of the epic pow variety, but snow in the forecast is far better than golden globes!

Well well well...

At some point in time from Sunday-Tuesday if you live in the City of Portland you will see snow. In my two years of forecasting

Amen

I would really like it to snow some real snow. For an extended period. So I can sit on chairs to ride powder for a couple days in a row. I can’t really live like this. -a man

and more or less internet free, at least relative to my usual ‘always on’ curse. Have a great Christmas everyone!

‘Keys to Reality’ by Ken Achenbach

Justin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:38:45 +0000

It’s kind of funny how you can go from walking around with nothing but lint in you pocket and being totally stoked, to walking around with a pocket full of keys and being totally bummed. It starts out simply and seductively. I’ll just get this car so I can snowboard more. Wrong. Anything that

BEER FRIDAY! Pee Yellow Pale

Justin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:28:44 +0000

So beer friday is a bit different this week. While I’ve had a ton of great beers lately, especially last night at the holiday ale fest downtown, going to throw up a quick and easy recipe I brewed lately.

Up til recently I’d really only done partial mash brews, and usually just following

Shaun White gum?

Justin — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:02:57 +0000

Wow…seriously? Between the bikes and now this Shaun has gone Shaquille O’neal circa-1993 on us (or Spaceballs. Shaun White the lunchbox!) and is putting his name towards any and everything. ‘Sallgood though, make your money kid!

BEER FRIDAY: Fresh hop ales

Sorry for the non-post yesterday, got caught neck deep in a Powerpoint and as this blog doesn’t make money and is but a labor of love it gets low priority over potential revenue generating opportunities (that being said if anybody wants to advertise here get at me!). I’ll continue highlighting 2011-2012 splitboards next week.

Packing

Justin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:35:54 +0000

Six days/five nights in the Enchantments coming up. Starting the packing early, one too many shots to the dome have me a bit forgetful when it comes to little details these days. Came to the realization that if it weren’t for the old Mountain Hardwear warehouse sale, Patagonia Outlet extra 40% off sale, and
