Tons of Things to Talk about

I'm sorry it has been so long since the last blog entry. Our Swap Sale was this weekend, so I didn't have much down time.

Speaking of the Swap Sale, it went really well. A lot of people brought in a bunch of stuff. If you didn't come, you missed out. There was some really good stuff for SUPER cheap.
By the way, if you haven't come in to see if your stuff sold, you need to do that ASAP! Pick up date was Monday, so now you can ONLY get in-store credit. Sorry...

Make sure you check out the February issue of Transworld Snowboarding. Modern is going to have an ad in it. I (Lindsay) am pretty pumped about this because a snowboard photograph I took at High Cascade Snowboard Camp is going to be used!

By the way, High Cascade Snowboard Camp has announced which pros are going to attend each session this upcoming summer. The dates and prices are up as well. I highly recommend this camp. I've attended two different summers and LOVED it. Click HERE for the website.

This fall weather is really bumming me out. I want it to snow. I am feening to go snowboarding. It hasn't even been cold enough for resorts (in mid Michigan) to make snow. I looked at the 10 day forecast and it is supposed to rain/snow a couple of days. But, that doesn't help the conditions to make snow.

A lot of customers come in the store asking where to snowboard around here. There really aren't any resorts close to Lansing. I suggest Mt. Holly. It is about 1 hour from here. That is the resort I grew up going to and used to teach snowboarding there. I would have to say that it is the best in the area. But, if you are willing to drive 3 hours, I recommend Nubs Nob or Boyne Highlands. They are right across the street from each other.
(Click on the resort's name to go to their website.)

In the "fan mail" section of the January issue of Transworld Snowboarding, one person talks about snowboard tattoos and how no one really has any. Transworld decided to put up an online gallery for people to post pictures of their "shred-inspired" tattoos. If mine was finished I would totally post a picture of it. If you have one and want to post a picture, I think this is the link to post pictures. Make sure you tag it as "tattoo".

Last but not least, in every issue of Transworld Snowboarding, they post 4 Shrediquette Rules. One from this month is #33: Don't hit up a shop employee for advice and then buy it online.
EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS RULE! Thanks :)
