Mammoth Mountain was blessed with a nice dusting of the white stuff this weekend. Rumor around the campfire is that El Nino might be in effect for this year, keep your fingers crossed and lets hope for the best!

You can now find Ashbury at Active. The highly anticipated Kaleidoscope Goggle can be found at your nearest Active store or online in all five colors; black, white, rust red, tortoise shell, and stars. Yes, tortoise shell. Snowboarding has been sleeping on this staple of a sunglass colorway and now Ashbury brings it to you for their first season. The black, white, and rust red goggles come in a matte soft touch which just feels nice in your hand. All the colors come with a red flock lining on the foam and feels nice and velvety on your face. Go to your local Active and check it out, you will seriously love it.

Along with the goggles Active now has Ashbury’s fall softgood line. Nice looking, soft, slim fit tees and hoodies. These shirts and sweat shirts will end up in your laundry regularly. Guaranteed to be your favorites. Buy them, wear them, sell them on eBay, whatever. You’ll be cooler for it.

Check out AshburyEyewear.com for more info on the brand.

Our friend Will at Park City took some time out of his busy schedule to edit a  teaser starring Active Family Riders, Erin Comstock, Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa all featured in the recently released film, “I Ride Park City”.

Here’s some photos from the past week’s snowboard movie premier parties.  TWS “These Days”, Think Thank “Stack Footy”, MDP People “Down with People”, viewers. I had a fan, they requested an autograph.  They probably thought I was somebody else though. Lauri Heskari was bet to take up all the table’s drinks in 5 min for a hand full of cash… he did.  Aaron Biittner had the count down.  DC popped into town for a second.  Devun Walsh was there too. Aye Aye! Parking lot pre party shot gun session.Go!Jared Johnson converts diesel trucks to run off vegetable oil, and girls like that. Eric Messier from The Fizz.  What do you eat late night, filet mignon? I’m full paparazzo style these days. Nor Cal super rep Eric Wallis and Airblaster’s Travis Parker.  Eric had a barf bucket.   Up and coming snowboard superstar Brandon Cocard and myself all scruffed.  He hated me until a couple days ago, now we’re homies.   Watch him the new Airblaster movie “August”, he’s legit. Nick Visconti and Stephen Duke.  Nicky may have flamboyant style and get freaky on guys on the dance floor, but he’s into chicks and they’re into him.  Duke’s a party animal. This guy had a real edgy haircut.  More to come soon…

Hello.  My name is Robbie Sell.   I’m the “new guy” behind Active’s SNOW blog. Yeah, they went out and got ME…  You know why???  Because I’m not afraid to talk about what you want to hear!  and because I also have access to get you all the newest news on the hottest product, coolest riders, best events, celebrity relationships, shitty gossip, wildest parties, radical trends, new spots, et cetera, et cetera.

That’s why you read blogs right?  Basically I’ll have entertaining and informative content updated all the time.  So go ahead and make a bookmark on this page… “apple(control) D” or something like that, so you can come back again and again, and again.

Signal’s new Park Series wins prestigious top board model of the summer award at HCSC!“Signal won the prestigious top board model of the summer award, with the Park Series. The Demo Center could not keep these boards in stock with many campers requesting them as soon as they showed up at camp. This evaluation shows that Signal has the highest brand utility by a large percentage.  It was often that Signal boards were completely out of stock. The recurring demo of these soft, easy to ride, boards, kept campers coming back, telling their friends to get on some Signal too.”  - HCSC 2008 Demo Report High Cascade Snowboard Camp is one of the best places to enjoy (more…)
