The North Face Masters of Snowboarding 2009 Tour Dates Announced by The North Face and Mountain Sports International

The North Face Masters of Snowboarding is the largest big mountain snowboarding tour in the country, with a prize purse of $45,000 and two new world-class venues

 

Registration is now open on www.thenorthfacemasters.com

 

Salt Lake City, Utah, December 17, 2008 – Now in its sophomore year, The North Face Masters of Snowboarding (TNF Masters) has become the largest cohesive competitive big mountain snowboarding tour in the country. A three-stop tour, TNF Masters is designed to cater to the motivation, talent and skill of world-class big mountain snowboarders. The 2009 tour visits Snowbird, Utah, Crested Butte, Colorado, and culminates at the ultimate big mountain competition venue of Kirkwood, California.

 

“The North Face Masters tour is going to be off the chain this year,” said TNF Masters Alyeska, Alaska, 2008 champion Rob Kingwill. “I am excited to be a part of the movement toward giving big mountain snowboarding competition the recognition it deserves. All three 2009 venues are world-class, and I can't wait to see what happens.”

 

TNF Masters features a $45,000 cash prize purse and serves as a qualifier event to the Freeride World Tour. Winners from the Snowbird and Crested Butte TNF Masters events will have the opportunity to compete in the Nissan Tram Face at Squaw Valley, California.

 

"Freeriding, the use of natural terrain, fall line, and innovation from riding style is the essence of big mountain snowboarding,” said TNF Masters Head Judge Tom Burt. “The TNF Masters series is designed around this and that is the reason why I agreed to become the head judge. The terrain will be delivered by Snowbird, Crested Butte, and Kirkwood. All have different flavors of terrain so each will bring its own challenges for the riders, and every rider will bring their own style and innovation to each venue. When the two mesh the best freerider will emerge.“

 

TNF Masters gathers big mountain snowboarding tribes from all around the world. All male and female snowboarding competitors above age 18 are welcomed to participate. Registration is now open on www.thenorthfacemasters.com.

Ski or Snowboard Rentals – Whistler

Renting skis used to be a dreaded experience, long line ups for poorly maintained out of date equipment provided by ski bums who didn’t care. Changes have swept across this industry with new companies competing in every resort worldwide.

With airlines charging extra for ski baggage, the inconvenience of carrying heavy equipment and an increased environmental awareness the number of skiers renting equipment has risen.

If you look at ski technology and ski branding a two year old ski can often look outdated, therefore before you leave home do a quick calculation of “how many days a year do you ski?” multiplied by the cost of renting against the cost of new skis. The average cost of renting top end gear is around $50 CDN for two days. If you average 10 days per year that works out at $250 per year. New skis with bindings range from $500 to $1100.

Factor in the cost of tuning, inconvenience, baggage fees and your environmental consciences and renting comes out the winner.

My family decided to test this theory with a visit to Whistler in January, we looked online and booked with a company called Affinity Sports. (www.affinityrentals.com)

After breezing through the airport and traveling the sea to sky highway we checked into our hotel around 9pm. Surprisingly the rental shop was still open so despite our jet lag we headed in to pick up our gear. The staff greeted us on the way in the door and our reservation was ready. We tried on the boots and with skis hanging on every wall I picked out a new Pair of Volkl AC50. The binding was adjusted and the staff answered all our tourist questions while helping us feel welcome in Whistler. The kids tried snowboarding had to choose from a selection kids gear.

On the third day the weather moved in so we took a rest day, I dropped the skis back at the store and was surprised to learn I would be credited back the days I didn’t use. I then took advantage of the best reason to rent, trying different equipment. The trend in skis is to have more specialized equipment to suit the conditions so I changed for a K2 Coomba, a powder ski. Each time I dropped into see the staff at Affinity they accommodated my every request without hesitation. The equipment was tuned, it was the latest model and the service was excellent.

Two weeks later back at my desk I thought about the old rent vs. buy argument. I will be renting skis, snowboards and maybe even snow blades every time I go. The image of ski rentals is changing and being driven by companies like Affinity, I hope to go back to Whistler for the Olympics and will be renting everytime.

Road trips
With the lack of snow on the Island this last month we were getting a little too antsy to sit around so we headed out on holiday road. First we went out to Banff and hit up Sunshine Village. It was my first time out to the rockies and it was awesome! The weather was perfect; sunny and cold and we got lots of killer pics and footage for our new movie project. We'll definitely be going back again. Thanks a lot to Doug Firby for the great hospitality. www.skibanff.com

Patrick Kitto enjoying the cold smoke out in Banff. Mmm Mmm good

When we got home there was still not very much snow so we packed up some clean undies and headed out again, this time to Whistler. Whistler is always wicked and this trip was no exception. We shredded the opening day of Blackcomb and then Whistler the next day and it rocked ( my board and my mind ) haha. Early season conditions joke... Thanks to Ryan Proctor for hooking us up. www.whistlerblackcomb.com

Myles col' kickin' it with his favourite run on Blackcomb behind him: the Sudan Couloir

When we got home from Whistler, guess what? Still not that much snow. So we packed up some more clean undies and headed out again, this time to Golden. Now if you've been to Kicking Horse you know it's rad. Steep, deep and gnarly. We had a wicked time there until the third day when the temperatures were a cool -28 in the hills and our nostrils were sticking together when we went outdoors. We all looked like Michael Jackson with our noses frozen closed so we bundled our Vancouver Island butts back into the truck, cranked the heat and headed back west. Thanks to Jordan Petrovics for the hook up.

Matty, Joe and our main man Eric. "Close the damn door, it's cold!" Thanks to Eric for setting us up so good. You rule Rolston!

Matt Trigg riding some deep, cold stuff with Ole in the background filming. Trigger kind of looks like Darth Vader coming out of there.

Back Home
Now don't get me wrong, we've had a few good days of hiking around here. We've been noboarding up the hill quite a bit and even hitting some urban stuff in town with the cold temperatures.

No bindings? No problem... Ole loves noboarding. photo by Patrick Kitto

Forty of the world’s best skiers and snowboarders will descend on Squaw Valley USA this winter, where for the first time ever they’ll compete on a legendary section of the mountain during the Freeride World Tour Event wtfhttp://www.freerideworldtour.com> : Nissan Tram Face, anticipated to take place February 28th, 2009.

The Freeride World Tour event at Squaw Valley USA, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, will help set a new standard for freeride competition, attracting some of the best in the sport.  The Tour promises to be demanding for participants and exciting for spectators when for the first time the legendary Tram Face, closed since Squaw Valley opened in 1949, will be open for the pro event.

”The Tram Face at Squaw Valley is legendary terrain that many have dreamed to ride but few have dared to,” said longtime Squaw Valley USA skier Cody Townsend, ranked 5th in the 2008 World Freeride Tour.  ”Having the first ever competition on Tram Face is like the first time Monaco was raced in Formula 1, Teahupoo was surfed and the Masters was played at Augusta. Opening up the off-limits terrain for the competition is a dream come true for anyone that’s driven into Squaw Valley and seen the amazing Face that dominates the mountain.”

Participants arrive at Squaw on February 26, opening ceremonies take place on Friday, February 27 and competition is scheduled for Saturday, February 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be postponed to an alternate date between February 29 and March 5. Spectators can enjoy the festive atmosphere with live music and ongoing events at The Village at Squaw Valley plus another village at Squaw Valley’s High Camp.

Riders participating in the Squaw event, which is the second leg of the Freeride World Tour, will arrive in California after showing their stuff in Sochi, Russia. After Squaw, the riders will travel to Tignes, France and Verbier, Switzerland. After this final event, the four Freeride World Champions (ski/snowboard/men/women) will be crowned.

Local Whistler Coaching Company Ramps Up Program Offerings in Response to U.S. H2B Visa Shortage

As the international community of snowboard instructors and coaches scrambles to find work outside of the U.S. for the 2008/9 winter season, Whistler B.C.'s Pro Ride has chosen to step up training program offerings to entice snowboard pros to stay in the industry and work in Canada.  After running successful coaching and instructional programs for the past 10 years, Pro Ride has announced its plan to increase instructional training programs for snowboard coaches and instructors who would otherwise have worked at U.S. resorts prior to the H2B visa shortage, which was announced in January of 2008.

“The current difficulties the US ski industry is experiencing with the lack of H2B visas for temporary workers reinforces the opportunities for international workers to come and train and work in Canada,” said Anthony Crute, the founder and head coach of Pro Ride.  “While the H2B visa situation will hopefully be rectified within the next year, instructors and coaches can get a start in Canada and prepare themselves for US employment."  Crute's emphasis on bringing on professional athletes and internationally certified coaches to train Pro Ride participants has produced instructors who now are employed at winter resorts around the world.

Pro Ride and its impressive roster of coaches begin offering programs as early as December of 2008.

2007/2008 winter season was little shorter than usual for us. We usually take 2 weeks off to ride in the winter and come back for another week in the spring. With job changes, settling in the house, getting the pool put in the backyard, we just haven't had the luxury of 3 weeks off like before -- but we're trying...

So far we've had 1 week of riding in early January, another short-trip with our neighbors, and an upcoming trip with the little one in early March. She's 5 and this is her 2nd year of skiing. Last year was more of a feeler for her. This year she's really got it down and ready to rip. Picked up a set of Roxy Sweetheart skis / bindings / boots for her. She's hyped and excited. 2 more years and those skis will [hopefully] be replaced with a snowboard.

Quiksilver Showdown Over the City

Grouse Mountain presents Vancouver’s largest Pro Am Snowboard Contest

with a roster of elite international riders.

January 30^th, 2008,  North Vancouver BC – Vancouver’s largest Pro-Am Snowboard Contest is coming to Grouse Mountain on March 28^th and 29^st.  The Quiksilver Showdown Over the City brings together the best professional and amateur riders from around the world to Vancouver’s backyard playground. For the first time, this event has been selected to be included in the TTR World Tour, the largest international snowboard contest body. With a $20,000 cash purse up for grabs and international recognition, this annual Grouse Mountain event has reached new peaks.

“This is, hands down, the biggest park event to hit Vancouver” says Jeff Silcock, Events Manager at Grouse Mountain.  “Being selected by the TTR World Tour means this year’s event will attract even more pro riders. With an event of this calibre happening minutes from downtown Vancouver, we’re expecting to draw some pretty high calibre talent and big crowds over the course of the weekend.”

Located on the Side Cut run, overlooking the city, the Quiksilver Park at Grouse Mountain is a favourite location for local and international pro riders and filmers not only for its world-class features, but for its unparalleled location and pristine, panoramic views.

“Partnering with Grouse Mountain for this event is exciting for Quiksilver as it allows us to work with our local community” says John Rainnie, Quiksilver Director of Sales and Marketing. “An event of this scale has a significant impact on our local riders, because they are exposed to international talent in their own backyard.”  With Quiksilver as the title sponsor of both the Quiksilver Park and the Showdown over the City, Grouse Mountain continues to evolve its parks and events to meet the demands of the substantial Vancouver park market.

Course Details:

The course will consist of highly progressive jib combos and Grouse Mountain’s infamous twin hips that create the illusion of flying over the Burrard Inlet.  The hips, located at the bottom of the course, are expected to be the biggest and steepest ever to hit the Quiksilver park, attracting veterans like Travis Williams, Spenser Forbes, Logan Short and Johnny Lyall.

Friday:  Amateur qualifier and Night Jib Session

Saturday: Hip, jib and open sessions, awards presentation and afterparty

Photo and filming opportunities include: qualifier, jib session, vendor village, rider practice, jib/hip/open sessions, award presentation and after-parties.

All editorial writers, photographers and filmers must confirm attendance at least 48 hours in advance.  Accredited media will check in at the Base Guest Services office to receive contest and afterparty passes.

Hello Snowboard people, I hope you all are doing good and enjoying the Winter. I know it’s a long time since I posted my last blog but I have been so busy with school and snowboarding the last month. But I will blog more the next weeks, promise. Ok since my last Blog I have been to a lot of places with or without Snow... At the end of November, one week before the Air&Style in Munich I went to Köln, Germany with Isenseven for some Streetrail Riding, which was pretty tuff because it was so warm and we just had space to bring barely enough snow for inrun and landing from the Snow stadium in Neuss to the Rails Spots. Which made riding in the city more dirty and painful. But we had a lot of fun with our Friends for a few days. Thanks to the Carhartt boys, to let this all happen!!! At the end of our trip in Köln weh ad our last Isenseven „übermovie“ premiere in Germany, wich was a fun party with our fans. This nice boy Moritz, was so stoked to meet us that he even painted a picture for us with all our movie sponsors. After Köln and a few days school, my best friends Peter König, Marco smolla and me were riding at the Nokia Air & Style in Munich for the Rookie challenge. It was my 2nd year at the Air & Style and I can just say its the most amazeing snowboard Copetition I have ever been. Ist so much fun, noise and incredible snowboarding. Its hold in the Olympic soccer stadium in Munich which is an amazeing location. After the Event Marco and me had a signing session with our sponsor O2, where people could win our boards.. Check out www.isenseven.de for the Air&Style Video footage. After the Air & Style I had a lot to do for school and tried to film fort he Isenseven movie a few times but the snow conditions in Austria, Switzerland and Germany where so bad that we didn`t had much success. When vacations started I went home to my parents and family to spend Christmas with them and a few days of, which was very cool. After this I went to Garmisch Partenkirchen to spend „New Years“ with the Isenseven crew like every year and afterwards we straight went to Austria to find some snow and get some shots, which wasn’t too good because of the bad snow conditions. So we have hit a lot of handrails during this time. And I went to my Sponsor Vans, Park Opening in Mayrhofen, Zillertal Austria with Silvia Mittermüller. The Park is very great with a lot of small and big Jumps, Rails and Boxes for everybody and even a Halfpipe. You should checkl it out! After 2 weeks of family, new years and filming I had to go back to school and write a lot of exams, which took me almost a month of hardcore learning and just snowboarding on the weekends. But its my last year school, so I need to do a little bit more for it. Last weekend we even made an avalance course with a skilled guide in sölden with the whole Isenseven crew, it was very interesting and important for us when we go out filming in the backcountry. Next week I am going to New York and then drive up the whole East Coast of the USA for some urban riding with Michi Zirngibl Chris Patsch and a few other guys from Isenseven. We will stay in the USA for 3 weeks so I think I have to blog a lot of stuff afterwards.... I keep you posted. I wish you all a lot of snow, wherever you are!!! Tobi

Availability for Camp
February is now pretty much booked up for long term courses however we do have space for February 12th, 16th and 23rd for one week camps. With all the snow we have it is going to be an awesome spring. We do have space for the 1,2 4, 6 and 8 week programs starting March 1st and the 4 week programs starting the beginning of April. March is traditionally one of the months where we receive a considerable amount of snow fall so it is a great month to come and ride powder before the spring.

If you are keen to come out and train then drop us an email or register on-line at www.pro-ride.com

 

Coach News
Neil Connolly has just flown out to Korea with Crispin Lipscomb to compete in the FIS half pipe event and Anthony Leffelaar is in Vegas for the trade snow. Anthony is then off to Salt Lake City to shoot photos for Spy as he is now on their international snowboard team.

New Zealand - 'World Trips'
After years of promising a New Zealand camp it is all coming to fruition.

Posted by: Stuart Britton 

This Past Saturday, Snow Valley hosted the first stop of the Smith Grudge Match V. The event went off! Lots of good riders of all ages both male and female were in attendance. The weather was beautiful and the park was solid thanks in part to Trevor Jennings who spent days and nights getting the park just right for the competition. The competition was strong and Jamie took out every sucka that stood in his way on the way to the finals. In the finals the competition was fierce and the final had to go to a 4th and final run to decide the outcome. Jamie fought hard, but was narrowly beat out. Still, Jamie took home another 2nd place finish and automatically advances to the finals of the Smith Grudge Match V on Feb 23rd at Mt. St. Louis. The announcing and the MCing was off the chains with L.S. and his DJ spinning live on the one’s and two’s all day. Defending Smith Grudge Match champion, Kevin Scriver, was ripping up the park all day, and the only thing that prevented a repeat of last year's finals showdown was an attempted hand plant on the top of the wall ride that went bad for Kevin. Kevin went up, planted his hand which then slipped out sending Kevin crashing down onto his head. Good thing helmets are mandatory at the comp! Will Johnson was out ripping and put together a solid second run. Trevor Jennings, not only built the park, he was competing too, Trev made the finals but working on the event and riding in the event was tiring for T.J. and he laid down after an attempted on the wall ride. Give the guy a break, he needed a rest. Tev and Keving also advance to the finals along with the remainder of the top 16 competitors. Congrats to all that came out and had a great day. Let's make the Lakeridge stop even better! See everyone out on Feb 2nd at Lakeridge.  Finally, we want to give a shout out to our girl Janelle Leclair who has impressed a lot out west this year, including the crew over at Diviante snowboard show.  Janelle is now getting hooked up by them on top of a long list of awesome supportive sponsors.
