The Hiking has Begun

There is nothing better than the feeling of getting home after the first hike of the season.  Food tastes better, the couch feels more comfortable and the sleep that night is nothing less than satisfying.  After way to long of a dry spell a small system rolled through the Wasatch this week and the surrounding resorts picked up 6-12 inches of new.  Excited for the new snow the crew headed up to Brighton in search of some pow and hopes of enough snow to hike a ridge or two.  We had a great day of mellow cruising ending with a short hike off crest lift the top of pioneer.  We dropped the bowl for making a few good turns and proceeded to make a boot pack for a 20 min hike up a decent untouched east facing slope.  That run was the best of the day and we were spent.  Just a typical weekday shredding with friends in Utah.

The forecast is looking very nice through the weekend.  Stay tuned next week for a major Utah update and some brand new features dropping very soon!

Photos Andrew Miller

As everyone should know we have nothing but love for our homie Lonnie Kauk here at the Revolution.  We have supported him from day one and he was actually the first Snowboard Revolution Interview ever.  Johnny Centi did Lonnie’s Interview back in 2005.  It’s a great to look back at your roots, where you started, the journey and how you have grown and evolved into what you are now.  Now 2005 wasn’t that long ago but alot has changed for us (snowrev) and Lonnie both in postivie ways.

After having a heavy season riding for DC, competing while still filming with Standard and a total slaughter fest at Superpark Lonnie had a pretty amazing year.  The Standard Snowboard Show just did a whole episode on Lonnie that aired on fuel tv.  It turned out pretty fucking sick and were are pumped for Lonnie and what this next years brings him! Now watch Lonnie’s whole episode below..

Matty Mo Makin’ News

By: Mark Dangler

We were up cruisin around some Western, NY spots when off to the side of the road we spotted a big rickety old toboggan chute leading down into a sledding hill. Matty Mo, pointed it out and I pulled over so we could give it a try. It was actually pretty mellow but kind of just an interesting shot.

Anyway we get out of the car and start checking it out and right as Matty is about to walk up the chute to strap in and drop some news reporters roll up. They seemed really interested in the boardin’ about to go down since they were showing up to do a story on how the town wouldn’t be opening the chutes this winter because of lack of funding. Matty scored a big time hollywood interview with local news reporter, Alysha Palumbo, a true grade A thoroughbred, and then we were on the 5 o’clock news Buffalo, NY’s channel 4. Here’s a video…

I’m In A New York State of Mind

by Mark Dangler

The snow came early in Western New York and it hit hard. Lake effect snows off of Lake Erie dropped anywhere up to two and a half feet in some spots so we rallied a crew of New Yawkas, some driving in from a couple of hours away, some flying in from accross the country to get the season going and start loggin’ some shots even before December hit. Matty Mo, Ben Farrell, Maxwell Scott, Steve Pelc and Ricky Beuler made up the crew. Everyone was eager to get at it meaning sessioning through the day and well into the night before stopping back to see what was going on at our hotel’s bar, the legendary “Tootsies”.  Of course there will be a legit full story coming up in a few days but in the mean time I figured I would post up a few screen grabs of what we have been up to.

- Matty Mo with a proper front board right before headin’ back to meet up with some dames at Tootsies

- Steve Pelc looks like Bear Grylls from “Man vs. Wild”. Switch 5050 through the closeout to drop.

- Ben coming up on a little neck beard, it’s a common fashion in these parts. We even saw a woman sporting a heavy one in a Randolph, NY gas station

- Because when the session involves various tricks over the second set someones got to get a method shot. Maxwell provides.

- And the bearded ladies go wild…Ben with a serious switch backside nosepress.

- Everyone got a shot, now lets head out of the zone and get back to Tootsies.

Cole the kid slams fucking hard.  Skateboarding is not made for dirt fools.
