Burton has given women snowboarders a chance to shine with its new project, Burtongirls.com.

The site will feature an all female cast writing about snowboarding, fashion, music, travel, and other aspects their lifestyle. Burton team members like Kelly Clark, Hannah Teter and Linn Haug will all contribute to the site, and the team will be backed up by women from many different areas and professions.

A select few got a sneak preview of the site recently at the Burtongirls.com launch party. Check out some pics from the event below.

Head over to ESPN for the scoop on Travis Rice's new snowboarding project. It sounds awesome and innovative as far as comps go!

Check out Lib-Tech.com right now - there are some wicked vids up there of team riders Eric 'E-Jack' Jackson and Sammy Luebke.

Both of these guys ride a TRS a lot of the time - TRS = Total Ripper Series. Enough said!

Alpsport on the World Stage

Alpsport has joined World Snow Day and has come out with a bang. Here is an email we received directly from FIS.

Volcom has a long history in surf, skate and snow. In recent years Volcom have really made a push in the snow industry and rightly so. With high waterproofings, durable outer fabrics, a technical Goretex range and all of this at some of the best prices on the market Volcom are really making their stamp on the industry.  The following blog is a review of Volcom outerwear from some really positive experiences using their product.  

Check, check, check, check it out! We’ve been lucky enough to score an early drop of 2012 Burton Hail’s in White/Tan/Green!

I love to customize boots and this boot makes it easy for sure. Being a traditional lace boot with the park rider in mind, the features of 2012 Burton Hail are straight up awesome. The fit is still reasonably wide through the forefoot and molds nicely within the first week as well as feeling great straight out of the box. Have a look at the shots below and some of the best features too!

Everything you trust is made from aluminium – cars, planes and beer cans. This was the slogan used for Ride bindings a few years ago and it’s a big favourite of mine since. I have wanted more than my 3 year old niece wanting the newest Barbie doll. So I suggest you grab a cup of coffee, tell your boss you’re on a break, close the door or put the kids to bed and sit back and relax.

If you haven’t already watched this twenty times, check out the new trailer for “The Art of Flight” dropping this September.

Here are some especially epic spots that made us go ga-ga, like what babies do when they see… milk…. ;-)
