Snowboard Park Etiquette
The snowboard park can be a lot of fun – but it can also be a little daunting if you’re new there. Are there rules that you need to follow? A code of conduct? What it considered park etiquette? This article describes some of the general dos and don’ts for using the park. If you’re [...]
The Best European Snowboard Parks?
Not so long ago, I wrote a guest article for the AngrySnowboard – Are The Snowboard Parks In The USA And Canada Better Than Those In Europe? One of the things that struck me when writing the article was that it’s not easy to get an idea of the best parks in Europe. Just try [...]
Building a Stash at Jackson Hole
I was reading this over at SnowLife, and from there I think it came via Snowboard Mag… So they’re building a Stash at Jackson Hole; cool. What I like about this video is that it shows you what the area looks like during the summer, while they’re still working on it. It’s easy to forget [...]
Breckenridge 2011 – Parks?
Colorado is most definitely a destination high on my list, and as it happens, Breck has been put forward as our destination for next season. Sick.

Good Winter Snowboard Parks In Europe?
So I was very impressed with the summer park in Deux Alpes. It’s by far the biggest park I’ve ridden in, and along side the Diablerets park it’s the best. It was great! So what about the winter? As yet I haven’t ridden a good park in the winter: Chamonix has no park. Meribel has [...]
Summer Camp?
Back at the end of 2004 I got my first sniff of freestyle when I went to the Demonium Masta Camp in November. At the time I had done a total of 3 weeks riding: a week in Chamonix during January 2003, and then two weeks in Chamonix, February 2004. I was looking forward to [...]
