Let’s say you fall and bang your head on the icy piste, or worse, maybe a rail in the snowboard park [...]

    Friday, August 13, 2010

  • Why Snowboarding Is Better Than Skiing

    Wednesday, June 30, 2010

    Each to their own. There’s no right or wrong. I get that. This is my opinion. It used to be the case that snowboarders on the mountain were the minority. That’s not the case anymore. I don’t have the stats, but I think it’s fair to say that both disciplines are big. And these days [...]

Is Riding With Music Safe?

Collisions on the hill happen. Two skiers, two snowboarders, a skier and a snowboarder, it doesn’t matter – the collisions happen. Sometimes there is little consequence, but sometimes people get hurt. That can suck, especially if it’s not your fault.
