PlanetSKI goes down market

We are showing a picture of Pamela Anderson snowboarding in a mini-dress and flashing her knickers. Have all our standards gone downhill?

It's a cheap hit but we have been criticised in the past for not doing enough about celebrities and what they get up to on snow.

So here you are.

See the full story on this US entertainment web site.

The US Olympic Ski and Snowboard teams for 2010 were at the event in Malibu along with 40 tons of man-made snow and the actress. It was a promotional and fund raising event.

The Snow Collective new site

Morning. It's getting cooler out! As I was perusing the Utah Snow blogs this morning I ran across these jokers over at the Snow Collective. I'll copy a couple of their posts here, but you need to check em out.

See ya on the hill.

The Bottom Line
A freebord is an alternative skateboard created to simulate the feel of snowboarding on pavement closely as possible. On a Freebord, you can carve as well as slide just like on a snowboard.

Pros

* You can keep control even under very high speeds because of the sliding ability and the skyhooks.

Cons

* This is the only alternative skateboard that you can also catch an edge on.

Description

* Freebords simulate snowboarding on pavement
* Perfect board for carving and sliding
* 3 deck sizes - 75cm, 80cm, and 85cm
* Ridden using skyhook bindings
* Warning - if you think catching an edge on a snowboard is easy then you probably shouldn’t be riding a freebord

Guide Review - Freebord Review
The part makes Freebord unique from all other alternative skateboards is the ability to slide. Sliding is achieved because there are 2 swiveling center castor wheels placed just inside the trucks. The castor wheels are raised slightly higher than the edge wheels so the board tips from one side to the other while riding enabling it to roll on the castor wheels so the board can slide where the rider directs it as on a snowboard.

Freebord makes 3 different sized decks, the 75cm, 80cm, and 85cm to suit everyone's body size and riding style. Freebords are usually ridden with skyhook bindings to give the rider extra carving ability while riding by allowing extra pressure to be exerted on the edges of the board. Freebords are considered 'safer' than most longboards and skateboards as the sliding of the Freebord gives the rider the ability to come to a complete stop in a matter of seconds if needed.

The one downside to the Freebord, because it is so much like a snowboard, riders can catch an edge just like on a snowboard, and pavement is less forgiving than the snow. To help against this problem, skyhooks do not cover the entire foot, allowing the rider to jump of or bail if he/she loses control. Helmets are always encouraged!

My new blog disclaimer

I have a winter daily radio show called Morning Word www.morningword.com that will accompany this blog.

Burr Ridge, Ill. – July 13, 2009 – The Winter Dew Tour, the world’s premier season-long winter action sports tour, today announced the host resorts and dates for the three stops of the 2009-10 season.

“We’ve been waiting for something like the Winter Dew Tour to come around and it was so fun competing on it last season,” said Tanner Hall, 2008-09 Dew Cup Champion in Freeskiing Slopestyle. “The level of talent was huge and I was stoked to take home the Dew Cup. Can’t wait to see what this season will bring.”

Date & Location
Dec. 18-20 - Breckenridge Ski Resort – Breckenridge, Colo.

The top athletes in the world will take part in this year’s Tour, all competing for the highly coveted Dew Cup that will be awarded in Mount Snow, Vt. at season’s end.
