Any Means Snowboard DVD

From Quebec to Tahoe and back a few times, Any Means is the story of the Rome team progressing on snowboards, living in a communal house, chasing the snow, finding new spots, riding big shit, riding small shit, towing into whatever, camping out, filming with injuries, riding with Rome ams, and throwing a few parties. It's the story about having fun together on snowboards. It's a film about the collective addiction.

Riders: Bjorn Leines, Jesse Fox, Marius Otterstad, Jonaven Moore, Yan Dofin, Max Legendre, Casey Neefus, LNP, Marie-France Roy, Will Lavigne, and the rest of the AmArmy

Are you heading to NZ this season

Since my last trip to New Zealand almost two years ago now I have been dying to get back there, but with work commitments I just haven't been able to find the time. This year looks quite promising so I wanted to know if any of you were hitting the slopes this season?

As you may know I picked up new bindings while I was in Switzerland last year so I never really got the chance to give them a good run. I think I used them twice.

If I do head to New Zealand I am pretty sure I will be heading back to Queenstown. The mountains around there were terrific fro snowboarding and the atmosphere of the place was terrific.

What is your favorite mountain in New Zealand for snowboarding?

Missing the Snow

It is about now. Just over 7 weeks since I got back from Swizerland that I start to wish I could just grab my board and head up the mountain. Unfortunately for me heading up the mountain is a lot harder then I seems, especially with me living in Perth, Australia.




That is my dilema!

It is around now that I start to think about a trip to NewZealand for their winter season. I know from my last trip there it was great. I don't want to hear about any of your late season boarding stories, so don't send them in.

As you can see there is a banner add in this post. For those that can just head out look at booking through these guys. I haven't really advertised them too much but today it seemed fitting to give them a shop.

Enjoy!

Davos Snow Report

As you all know in 7 days I am off to Davos, Switzerland snowboarding for my yearly pilgrimage to the snow. Currently the Depth of snow  on the summit is 130cm and on the middle station is 126cm.

I have been watching the Davos weather patterns for the past month or so now and I am quite confident that the snow will hold out.  You may remember or know that Europe has had a very early season, which for some of these small towns that make their living from tourism, if the snow doesn't hold out they will have a tough year. I am sure this all has something to do with global warming.

This of course asks the question, how long till snowboarding & skiing was a sport of the past? Or at least mountain skiing and boarding anyway.

As you would have known I purchased a JVC video camera in the hopes of getting some good footage. Who knows?

It is probably a bit late to book now but If you can get to the snow for Christmas. There is nothing like a white Christmas. Couple that with snow and basically what more can you ask for.

Taste it

I can almost taste my end of year snowboarding trip to Wiesen. It is about 6 weeks away now and I can assure you that time is moving very slowly now.

Anyway the little villiage we are staying is just outside the majour tourism destination Davos. I memory serves me correctly it is about a 20 minute bus ride. Luckily my cousin own a holiday house in this village which we will be staying in.

Wiesen is also about a 10 minute bus ride to the nearest slope which will be our main destination due to is proximity.

We do have plans to do some traveling and maybe even get to some other mountains not in the area in which we are staying in.

Just thought I would give you a quick update about what we plan to do on our trip. There will be lots more to come don't you worry about that.

You Tube Clips

I have just been surfing the web today. I just can't get motivated to get stuck into the design work that needs to be done. Anyway check out some clips i found.

The real count down begins

It is amazing today marks the 2 months and 1 day till I fly out to Switzerland for my end of your boarding trip. Can you belive that!!!!

I mean I will soon be sliding down the slopes in the Davos region which is were I was last time I went.

I am planning this trip around to get to a few other resorts if possible just for a bit of variety but in the Davos region there are quite a few mountains that I haven't done yet so if worst comes to worst I will just give them ago.

Myself and "M" (my fiance) who as never been on snow before are going for 1 month. Well actually just under a month so she will spend the first week getting skiing lessons from the ski school in the little village we stay in just outside of Davos called Weisen.

I am really just in shock. It seems so long ago when I booked this holiday and everything that has happened since then has been one wild ride.

IN THE END WHO CARES THOUGH!!!

The snow awaits me!! I will be pushing quite a few reviews and products which I hope you will all by. The aim well basically I want to by a video camera and I figre if I can fund it from this site well that is great. So everyone I know you need the gear or if you are a company looking for some great advertising opportunities then get in contact with me.

Till next time.

Some great sites to checkout!

There are some many sites out there and with the popularity of blogs there are even more. It is because of this that we now see some great snowboardings sites started up by snowboarders. Not everyone is like me a web designer and a snowboarder. With that said I don't even you our own SnowFlake application to run this site. Why? well I spend all my time designing sites. At the moment along with my companies site I have a few other projects to get done in the next few weeks. So why waste time when I just want to talk about snowboarding?

Enough about that stuff. Some sites I like are:

iRide
Great blog type site about Zaskoda Soft. Interesting and worth a look. For those that use RSS the rss feed is right down the bottom of the page.

Snowgo
Another blog type site. This one has a lor of information on it so check it out.

Ski Blog
Yet another blog written by Justin Blackburn an IT guy. Worth a read if you like to hear peoples views on their riding experience.

Hitting Kickers
A site that has equipment reviews, resort guides and a whole heap of other stuff.

Afterbang
Personal blog of Gavin Hope who lives in the UK. This buy has a passion for snowboarding. I don't know if the photo is of him but hey it looks good.

So if you need something else to read other than this blog here are my suggestions.

SSX Blur

For those that read my personal blog you would know that a few weeks ago I purchased a wii. Anyway in keeping with the theme I had to purchase SSX Blur the Snowboarding/Skiing game for wii.

At first I found the controls a little hard to get used to! I mean I was used to the old SEGA mega drive / Nintento and SNES. Let's get back on track. So there I was running through the tutorials which I suggest you all do.

Then once I got the hang of it I couldn't believe it. You actaully had a sense of carving it was as real as it could be with out actually doing it.

The idea of the game is to get points, be the fastest all of that. It took my awhile and I finally opened up all three mountains or peaks as the game refers to them. So know i am in boarding heaven. Well if you live in Perth where there is no snow it is the closest i can get for another 3 months.

I recommend it the game!

I'm back

I know it has been such a long time since I have posted in this blog.

Let me assure you I missed it. Anyway I'm back blogging using my new iMac, which should make things alot easier.

It is my goal to get this blog back up and running with all the great things that you all enjoyed reading.

I have already set out my plans for my snowboading holidays this year. It is looking like NZ for their season and then Switzerland for christmas. What are you all doing?

I hope you will enjoy my posts and get involved.
