Red Hi-Fi Audio Helmet

A Hi-Fi Audio Helmet from RED tunes out impact. Hear only what you want to hear with sweet DJ-style headphones and one-touch mute button. Ample ventilation in the lightweight polycarbonate shell keeps you from being hot headed. An easy-off Zip Clip buckle works well while wearing gloves and quickly adjusts the Hi-Fi Audio to your head.

Bottom Line: Don't blame RED if you can't hear Ski Patrol telling you to slow down.

Documentary chronicles the rebellious, inspiring and sometimes controversial rise of snowboarding--as seen through the eyes of the snowboarders setting the standards and breaking the boundaries of this worldwide phenomenon. Film spotlights a handful of snowboarding’s early pioneers (including Shawn Farmer, Nick Perata and Terje Haakonsen) and some of the ultra-sponsored superstar phenoms at snowboarding’s current cutting edge (Shaun White and Hannah Teter) and literally takes them to the edge--the snow blanketed mountains of Alaska--where these five icons face some of the most challenging and hard-core natural terrain on the planet. Leading up to their first descent, the crew of five share their stories, comparing viewpoints, individual lifestyles, and unedited opinions on the evolution of snowboarding that began as a delinquent child of skiing and now stands as an international cultural movement that has permanently changed the face of winter sports.

At the absolute peak of freeride technology stands Salomon's most advanced deck, the Burner Snowboard. Using Salomon's Spaceframe construction, the Burner provides increased edge through a combination of cap and sidewall construction. The Zeolit sintered base makes the Burner fast in any snow conditions, but it likes powder the best. The tip and tail have been softened slightly to allow easier turn initiation and exit while the middle of the board remains very stiff, giving it solid stability when you're really haulin'. If big drops, open powder fields and steep couloirs are your favorite places to ride, then this is the board you should be strapping onto.

Bottom Line: Turn on the afterburners and rip all-mountain terrain on the Burner.

New Sponsor

In case you haven't seen the banners/advertisements we now have a new sponsor. Since I constantly strive to provide better content etc... I thought as a bonus I would take DogFunk on. Now I can advertise a product and you can purchase it straight of here. What more could you want?

So support the site that supports you, and get onto DogFunk view our site.

So what do I have planned for the future for Snow Extreme. I want to write more product reviews, but that means actually getting more products, so I will be looking into that. If any of you can help in that sense let me know. I of course want to try new resorts and bring my thoughts/experiences too you directly from there if possible.

Since I started this site, as really just a passion of mine I noticed the traffic slowly increase. Before I knew it there is a steady growth in traffic from day to day.

So hopefully it will continue to grow, the best way to make it grow is to support the site.

I will post a product review later on today.

Burton SL-8 Snowboard Boot

Bringing tomorrow's tech to today's freestyle riders, the Burton SL-8 Boot's minimalist design represents the ultimate in lightweight, efficient construction. Built around an articulated cuff design, the shell's upper and lower halves flex independently to create fluid forward flex, making the SL-8 as comfortable in the park as it is hitting kickers or riding soft snow in the backcountry. To minimize toe and heel drag Burton built the SL-8 around its own unique last to create a smaller footprint. The lightweight, low-profile outsole incorporates a hidden midsole for a lowered center of gravity, enhanced board feel and energetic power transfer. Though it's a pared down freestyle boot, don't assume the SL-8 is short on comfort. Burton's Speed Zone lacing system makes it easy to customize your fit and provides better heel lock than any other lacing system. The molded tongue is gel-lined, and Burton makes the Imprint 4 liner with Outlast adaptive technology; it will mold to your foot after a few days on the mountain, improving the fit and comfort.

Bottom Line: Advanced performance for serious freestyle riders.
