FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

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.

 

The North Face Masters of Snowboarding 2009 Series Schedule

Stop #1 – Snowbird, Utah.                  January 29-February 1, 2009

Stop #2 –Crested Butte, Colorado. February 12-15, 2009

Stop #3 –Kirkwood, California         March 5-8, 2009

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

Perry & Louise... Videos videos videos!!!



So Perry calls us up last minute late Wednesday afternoon because Ben's out of town and he wants someone from the office to head over to Boardroom around six that night to do the IS Eyewear PK for him. Steve's out of town, I have plans so Jr.Burger agrees to help out. I help JB "short for Jr.Burger" get stuff ready then leave the office for the day. The next morning I ask JB how it went. So he gives me the run down then starts telling me about Perry's cute little introduction where he kisses JB's ass for saving his day and shi*t talks me & Steve. "JB's a super hard worker... Blah blah blah... I love him so much... Blah blah blah... he's the only person in the who office that actually works... Blah blah blah... Once Scientists figure it out I want to have his Child... Blah blah blah... I can't believe Karl gets paid a salary to do a blog and I don't even know what Steve does over there?" Real nice Perry. Didn't you just get back from a 3 week holiday where you and your buddy Thelma and Louised it across Canada... You poor thing, Couves must really be working you to the bone.. Haha



The IS Video Player is slowly filling up with content. Its pretty cool, you can download video directly to desktops or to mobile devices. I've set up a bunch of channels with more to come. So far we have PartySnake, Airhole, Kale, Dev, Duff, Daves Updates, Lil Bastards, 15Peddler and Archive channels where we'll be constantly uploading footage. We'll be setting up a SponsorMeChannel shortly where we'll be posting all the sponsor me videos we receive for the world to see and our team to watch and decide who makes the cut. To get your sponsor me video on the SponsorMeVideo channel send it to info@iseyewear.com in a quicktime format.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE – SEATTLE, WA (October 20, 2008)-The development of a new digital download player by Ally Distribution will change the way people consume action sports films.  By adding an entirely new dimension to the distribution model, this free download player has the potential to expand the size of the action sports film industry by making a larger selection of videos more accessible to more customers than ever before.  Called the ALLY digitalDOWNLOAD Store, the company wanted to create something that would instill positive change throughout the industry by helping the people behind these films.  Ally president Kelly Dole explains,  "We had become increasingly frustrated with the distribution side of the action sports film industry and decided we wanted to develop something that would help change things for the better."  


The player is an embeddable widget (hosted by a third party), which allows retailer and industry websites alike to offer high-quality, digital downloads similar to iTunes.  The full-length downloadable films are compatible with all platforms and all portable media devices.  Rockies Super-Rep Mike "Gags" Gagliardi remarked, "There are no out-of-pocket costs, no set-up costs, no inventory, and it's free to sign up.  Any person visiting your website has the opportunity to download a full movie for a decent price. My shops just collect a check every month." 


The Ally Player is now available to any retailer, online retailer, sponsor, or individual who would like to offer films for download from their website,  MySpace page, Facebook page, or similar platform.  The Player has 20 current, full-length ski and snowboard videos available for download with new titles being added each week.     


Instead of building a single download website and attempting to drive all web traffic to their own site, Ally figured-out a win-win solution that will soon see hundreds or even thousands of micro-stores playing free teasers and selling video downloads.  The effects of this new distribution model can be expected to increase sales and exposure dramatically for the films, the athletes and the sponsors while reducing the carbon footprint for all involved.


Ally Video and Distribution is headquartered in Seattle, WA as a rider owned and operated entity, specializing in the distribution of action sports films.  For more information on our films, trailers, and latest developments visit www.allyvideo.com and to check out the new video player go to www.allyvideo.com/downloadsfordollars.

By: TTR Press Office

Falls Creek, Australia – August 19th, 2008: The 08/09 season of the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour is charging at full steam down under and the anticipation is rising for the first 4Star event on the Tour, theOakley Stylewars 2008. Taking place August 24th - 28th 2008 in Falls Creek, Australia, the 4-day lifestyle Slopestyle event, complete with intense snowboarding, parties and live music, is looking to be the highlight of the Southern Hemisphere. 

With 500 Swatch TTR ranking points in the mix along with a $15 000 USD prize purse, Stylewars is sure to carry the competitive momentum set just recently at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open and 3Star Billabong Snow Stock. Last season, Norwegian rider Torstein Horgmo blew apart the Falls Creek scene, and this year he’s back to claim it all again. But a hefty challenge Horgmo is sure to meet, as this year’s event is full to the brim with over 40 talented riders set to destroy the 3 – Kicker course.

Expect freestyle entrepreneur Travis Rice (USA) to make things spicy as current TTR World No. 2 Chas Guldemond (USA) attempts to get back the Tour Lead which was taken from him last week at the 3Star Billabong Snowstock by James Hamilton (NZE) Swatch TTR No. 4 Janne Korpi (FIN), TTR No. 13 Mikkel Bang (NOR), TTR No. 21 Sebastien Toutant (CAN), and TTR No. 40 Antti Autti (FIN) are sure to keep it interesting alongside a sick south-hemi contingent that includes the likes of TTR No. 26 Jake Koia (NZE) and Australian snowboarders Robbie Walker and Ryan Tiene.

Current leader of the Swatch TTR women’s ranking, Jamie Anderson (USA), will also take part in the men’s competition. Although there are no women’s points available at Stylewars simply due to the large scale of the competition features, she will show case her talent together with the guys. We are excited to see how the top female on the Tour will do.

Riders will be greeted with a relaxed, shred-friendly atmosphere, but even more exciting is the private, contest-purpose built Slopestyle course, already beefed up due to an excellent snow season thus far and set to exceed last year’s set up with increased quality and flow.

Also coming up soon on the Swatch TTR Tour is the 3Star Boost Mobile Sno Sho presented by Samsung, a one-night, under-the-lights, Big Air and Rail Showdown. Taking place August 29th to 30th at Perisher Blue, Australia, the event boasts a $30 000 USD prize purse and the longest rail seen in competition that is sure to spark some creative hits. Perisher Blue will also host the 5Star Burton Australian Open, starting off on September 1st.

For more information on the Swatch TTR 4Star Stylewars and the 3Star Sno Sho, along with inspiring videos, blogs, and ranking stats, head on over to www.ttrworldtour.com and keep yourself up to date.

The coming winter must be on a few peoples minds (other than those people who are experiencing it in the southern hemisphere). I turned on the tv the other night and caught two major US cable shows featuring snowboarding in Whistler. E Weekend News had a full feature on Whistler and then Gene Simmons - Family Jewels (Of KISS fame - the guy with the makeup and big tongue) started a two show feature on Whistler and one of our coaches was on the show.

Gene Simmons Family Jewels

I knew that Ryan (Rausch) had done some work with Gene during the world ski and snowboard festival here in Whistler this April. What I didn't know was just how cheesy the show was going to be. Gene is all about making $$ and he owns a label called "Money Bags". During the show they were looking for a new face for "Money Bags" and Ryan was one of their options. Ryan definitely got the best deal out of the three candidates as he scored a heli day and some snowmobile time. It he hadn't blown out his knee during the filming (a total put on - Ryan is fine) he would have been the new face of "Money Bags". Funny stuff and all scripted. You may be able to check it out this out later this week

Summer Camp on the Glacier

Summer Camp has now been and gone for another year. The glacier was in really great shape this year and the half pipe was awesome, We scored some great weather with lots of blue sky days and a super fun shred was had by all.

Winter Programs

We have had lots of bookings come in already for the December and January 12 week courses. Freeride, freestyle and snowboard instructor camps and courses start the beginning of December with the first 12 week course starting on the 6th. We have an early booking discount of $350 for anyone booking a 12 week course before August 31 with a 50% payment and we have secured an extra lift ticket for anyone booking two week courses before October 31. You will get 2 extra lift tickets if you book your two week course by September 30. See the http://www.pro-ride.com/courses.cfm page for more details.

Videos

Karen has been busy working on the videos from this past winters footage. We now have a freestyle video, two freeride videos and a womens shred video all finished. Next off the press will be the Mt Baker road trip feature.

Here are the links to the latest completed videos.

The New Gondola

We got an up close look at the new gondola while heading up to the glacier this summer and it really is a marvel of engineering. The lift station itself is a huge building and they have already strung the guide wires across the valley for the new cable system. Check out some pictures at

Extreme Party Team / Warehouse Goodies /



IS Eyewear is putting together an extreme party team. Jake's cousin "Ronnie" just won the team captain position. If you think you have what it takes send in photos, videos or stories to info@iseyewear.com



We're in the middle of moving our warehouse right now and have been stumbling across tons of amazing stuff from way back. Yesterday we found a huge box of "Mack Dawgs Technical Difficulties", The Gathering, Wildcats Nine lives and Little Bastard on VHS. For anyone who places online orders this month we'll throw in some "warehouse goodies" if you mention it in your order. You never know what you might end up with!

The SpringBreak-Camp:

 

 

This exclusive Spring Camp pushes Snowboarders and Freeskiers to their Freestyle-Limits and beyond! Ride the slushy kickerline and hit the exclusive BAGJUMP Megabag. The Riders can practice in the ‘By Pros for Pros’ shaped SprinBrea-K-Park (Funpark Kühtai) with 2 Tabletops (2x15 Meter), a Spine-Hip and a Pro Rail-line. On top of this everyone can try new tricks into the BAGJUMP MegaBag located right by the Chill Area at the Liftentrance. The exclusive BAGJUMP MegaBag is a never seen before feature on the SpringBreak where Snowboarders and Freeskiers can try new tricks like Double-, Tripple-Corks, flips and spins in any variation. Because of the unique Chamber-&-Air-Release-Safety-System you can go for any trick you ever dreamed of because it doesn’t matter how you land! Go way f%&@ing harder than you’ve ever gone & you’ll even live to tell about it! Grab a Red Bull and eat your BBQ/Grill in the BAGJUMP MegaBag-Area. Chill in loungechairs while listening to sound mixed by DJ SEREN on the Red Bull Event Car. Experience the new limits of freestyle snowboarding & freeskiing!
