Midwest Meet

Visit the official Midwest Meet thread on the SBOL Forum here to discuss the event. Costs for riding / lodging, carpools, and everything else you’d need to know can be found here!

The first ever Midwest Meet will be held at Mount Bohemia, MI (in the Upper Peninsula).
Click here to visit Mount Bohemia’s website.

“Mount Bohemia has the longest runs with the highest vertical and deepest powder in the Midwest. Bohemia is all-natural, and has no problem without snow guns. The average snowfall in the Keweenaw is 273 inches. The lake effect snow is dry similar to western resorts and accumulates as powder which is untouched because we do not groom. Bohemia’s two new sections; the Outer limits has 100+ acres of inbounds backcountry skiing with 17 new runs even longer and trickier than before.”

Jay Jam Getting Closer

Mark was scoping out the scene yesterday and although there is no park set up (so there will be no rail jam), there is promise of deep pow and good people.  Set your bindings back and start getting ready.

If you can’t make it out and need some motivation to go shred your local mountain make sure you check out the Revel8 Team shredding Mt. Snow after the Dew Tour. The video can be found here and if you haven’t seen this yet, you’ve been slacking.

Still Can’t Decide?

Skiboards Online currently has 31 different skiboards/long boards in stock. It can be tough narrowing down which is right for you. Fortunately, SkiboardReview.com has reviews of over 100 products. Whether you’re interested in buying new or used, chances are SkiboardReview.com has a rider submited review (or two) on that product. The SBOL comparison charts are another great resource for finding which boards and bindings fit your size and riding type best.

If you still have questions on picking out boards for yourself or as a gift, the SBOL forum has over 1,000 users with a wide variety of experience. From expert riders to first timers – it’s likely you’ll find the answer you are looking for.

Video clips to hold you over

If you’re one of the riders still waiting for snow, or you just haven’t made it to the mountain yet – here’s a little motivation to get excited to shred. We’ll be posting clips as they come in to hold you over and get you pumped.

Enurshia Jay Jam

Enurshia Jay Jam | Feb 7-8, 2009 | Jay Peak, Vermont

“This will be the third Enurshia Jay Jam and it looks like it will be the biggest one yet.

All level of riders welcome! There are plenty of groomed trails and “beginner” woods available but keep in mind that a good portion of time will likely be spent in the woods. Please consider this before deciding to come. We want everyone to have a good time and if you know you will not be comfortable in the woods, you will likely not have a good time in the woods. It can be very dangerous and we do not encourage anyone to ride beyond their abilities. Safety first. Then teamwork.

If you intend to come, please respond to this post and we will contact you with some questions. We look forward to meeting everyone!”

If you plan to come make sure you check out THIS thread right away.
