We all know Summit County, what do you know about San Juan, Gunnison or Sauguche County?
Here is what we found...

Seeing how a major storm just blasted us down here in Southern Colorado I thought it wise to give an update on this trip. Yesterday, JJ Thomas and Chad Otterstrom met up with us for a day of cat boarding down at Monarch and it would be foolish to say they didn’t get more out of this storm than the entire state. Expecting a foot or so, we were greeted with upwards of three.

After a few fun runs it was time to get to work, or at least try to. JJ put it best when he said, referring to the hi-fiving good times and powder ollies of the morning session, “Hippy shredding is fun, but we should try and set something up.”

Easier said than done. With this much snow coming down it was basically a renegade slash and shoot mission with SNOWBOARD Mag’s Shaun Hughes just pointing his camera in the general direction of the devastation occurring. Here are the results: However they turned out, you get the picture. It was… just one of those days…

We would like to thank Monarch Powder Cats and Colorado Ski Country www.coloradoski.com , the state’s number one resource for 21 area resorts. Check their website for everything from snow reports to last minute deals. Word is this week is another snowy one for all of Colorado… So get on it! It’s dumping!

NO fuckin Video with otter pops and JJ!

Come on man, I mean you'd think after five years and the most self optimzied user site in the channel, that you guys would be producing some action video content for the web, I mean if you think that it costs to much to produce; just think of how much it costs to buy / or trade or use, we want to watch snowboarding in southern colorado with JJ and Otter. We want to go to the grenade games and watch the guys get rowdy on video. I am sure that Ride would appreciate it, Vitamin water, Celtek, Bonfire, Bluebird with there riders all in the cut! Maybe put it up in SBTV in the original content box beside the sia wrap ups!

People are getting bored of the same ( searchable ) Press release content guys.

I mean no- offense, just observing.

Rasta Cones for everybody!!


Video Coming...

Oh GAry...

Unlike the many rug-pissers out there, we are not amatures. Look for 3 different SBTV episodes of our trip in the near future.
