“Winter came in with vengeance this year. I’ve been hearing the reports from Cali to Washington to Utah and so on over the past few days of some serious snowfall. Yesterday I headed up to Loveland Basin with Nic Drago, Madison Ellsworth and Mike Casanova to see if the reports were true here in Colorado. About half way up to the Eisenhower Tunnel the snow became nuclear. Its was straight up pounding and it didn’t stop all day. It was hard riding the chair at Loveland looking down at all the pristine snow covered slopes that appeared more like February than October. For the limited terrain that was open we found pow slashes, trees to bash, mini airs, and even a few rail features in the early-season park. After double digit laps at Loveland we railed back to Breck because our homie Austin Julik-Heine had alerted us that we was in the process of setting up a jib over a river, and we should come shred and shoot it. It turned out to be a really cool feature and we all ended up walking away with bangers. Sometimes I have a hard time coming around to Winter. It usually hits so early up here in Summit County and I’m always wanting a little bit more summer, or even fall for that matter. After yesterday, I’m 100% stoked and Ready! Bring it on….” -Aaron Dodds

Just got this pic from Nic Drago... I know... Screw him.

Just got this photo sent to me from Madison Ellsworth out in Colorado. A-Basin opened up this AM with some fresh POW... Ugh, and I am sitting here in Southern California...

Who doesn't like looking at photos of good looking girls? We do! So in an attempt to satisfy the masses, we are doing weekly post's to our Blog and Facebook of 'Chick's who look good in Dragon's". Poolside, at a party, in the bar, it doesn't matter, we just like looking at chicks rocking Dragon's.

Compliments of FRENDS Vision...

Lucas Debari built his thunder by watching the Mt. Baker Hard Core (MBHC), one of the most innovative and respected crews in snowboarding's short history. After you watch his part in Absinthe's 2001/2011 release, Now/Here, no doubt you will feel this influence and recognize Lucas' riding as powerful and progressive beyond his 22 years. With ample support from The North Face and Rome, he is on a mission to summit the world and possesses the combination of rawness, rowdiness and respect to make it happen.

Wolle Nyvelt surfs the Earth. Sometimes he's dropping in on the sea, or a sidewalk, but most times he's slashing down the mountain. Make no mistake: he might be on snow, but he's surfing. If you haven't seen what Nyvelt is doing on the hand-shaped planks he calls "Powsurfers" yet, trip on this.
