It Has Arrived<br /></span></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The nation's ski and snowboard season opened with white brilliance late last week. It is the 6th straight year Loveland Ski Area has been number one in the nation to open for continuous operation.<br /><br />The mountains of Loveland are 60 miles west of Denver. The slopes were open from the top to bottom and more terrain is being manicured for your upcoming adventure. It is reported nearly 1000 people attended the season opening celebration.<br /><br />Most ski resorts do not open before November. Typically, Thanksgiving weekend is the target date for many. So keep your eyes open for the best snowboard "opening dance" near you.<br /><br />Snowfall amounts will be difficult to predict this winter, according to the National Weather Service; we can expect above-average temperatures. We all know how unpredictable the weather has been in 2005 and California snowboard enthusiast know how plentiful the snow fall was last season. We can only hope for a return performance.<br /><p>Colorado received more than 20 inches of snow recently. Be sure to check with your favorite resort or snowboard slope operation and keep a close eye on The Weather Channel. </p> <p>Arapaho Basin will possibly be the next Colorado slopes to open. Planners say, "... perhaps this weekend...", but it is not a certainty.<br /></p> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">East Coast... Will Wilma delay snowboard activity?</span><br /></div> <p>Typically, Killington VT is the first in the East to open for "marks in the snow". The planned opening is set for November 12. Concerning the recent flooding in New England and the chance of Wilma bringing in more rain late next week, you folks are in our prayers.<br /></p> <p>Never-the-less, get your cameras clicking and post them on your blogs. I look forward to highlighting great snowboarding photos and driving folks to your sites. Check your equipment and be safe.<br /></p> <p>Gary<br />Snowboarding Craze<br /></p><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621870419774475205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14643303.post-1125286538161208312005-08-28T20:35:00.000-07:002005-08-28T20:35:38.166-07:00<a href="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/news/stories/112517060690050.shtm">Base Ultracross Team Ski and Snowboard Series Decided at Cardrona</a>: "Series at Cardrona Alpine Resort was decided this week after four weeks of fierce ski and snowboard competition on the gravity-x course. <br /> <br />Top snowboard team, Random, cleaned up by winning each week'’s race and taking the overall prize. Not surprising, considering the team was made up of the cre'me de la cre'me of New Zealand snowboarders with Winter Olympic Program athletes Richard Hunt, Juliane Bray and Ellie Richards joined by American Jonathan Cheever and fellow New Zealander Maia Chaput." <br /> <br /><strong>Congratulations</strong> <br /> <br />Don't you want to pack up your snowboard and travel south someday? The competition was fierce and snowboarding expertise level was very high. Good stuff. <br /> <br />Gary <br />Snowboarding Craze <br /> <br /> <br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621870419774475205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14643303.post-1125209811307867962005-08-27T23:16:00.000-07:002005-08-27T23:16:51.313-07:00<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">We Are Snowboarding Craze</span></strong><br/><br/>Whether you’re looking for ski resorts, snowboard tips or snowboarding news then bookmark us now or click the RSS feed.<br/><br/>The snowboard and ski season in the Northern hemisphere will come quickly and now is the time to get in shape.

It is usually deep enough to sculpt half pipes, rails and jumps. <br />Earlier in the summer, in fact, Timberlines' snow groomers had sculpted three half pipes, one just two weeks ago on special order for a High Cascades snowboarding camp. " <br /> <br /><strong>After twenty-nine years</strong> of non-stop action, Palmer Glacier shuts down due to lack of snow last winter. <br /> <br />But more importantly, if you had not heard before, don't let this place escape your memory. Get your weekend plans for 2006 in writing and include a trip to this winter AND summer snowboarding haven. <br /> <br />Christine wrote a very alluring article about the Hood River Oregon area and Palmer Glacier. <br /> <br />I almost felt as though I was watching her every move as she describes the trip up and down the slopes. And her feelings along the way were seemless in the vision. Great work Christine. <br /> <br />Gary <br />Snowboarding Craze Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621870419774475205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14643303.post-1125110156089227472005-08-26T19:35:00.000-07:002005-08-26T19:35:56.093-07:00<a href="http://www.bigbeargrizzly.net/articles/2005/08/17/sports/hotdawgz.txt">Big Bear Grizzly</a>: "Dreams of winter come closer to reality Sept. 17 with the Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails competition at Bear Mountain. Although there's more than a fair chance it will be man-made, snow will again grace the Valley's slopes. <br /> <br />In its second year, Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails is a day-long party full of rail riding, live DJs, free stuff and food. Watch and learn as the pros tear it up on the mountain's newest jibs, battling for $12,000 in cash prizes." <br /> <br /><strong>Snowboard season is closing in.</strong> <br /> <br />This is great news for Big Bear enthusiast. <br /> <br />Gary <br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621870419774475205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14643303.post-1121824557416749182005-07-19T18:55:00.000-07:002005-07-19T18:55:57.416-07:00<a href="http://www.transworldsnowboarding.com/snow/features/article/0,13009,1084218,00.html">Transworld Snowboarding.com | Features | New Issue Out Now!</a>: "New Issue Out Now! <br />by Kurt Hoy <br /> <br />07/18/2005 <br /> <br />Our calendar must be screwed up, because somehow the September issue is already out. <br /> <br />The first issue of TransWorld SNOWboarding is shipping to subscribers today!
