Bluebird Baker

Mt Baker opened yesterday with bluebird and pow.

Most WA shred locals made it out for the first baker day and were glad it was not the industry junk show like last season's opener.

It was a powder day for sure, some areas were low tide, but with jedi skills u could float the rocks and trees for the most part.

More snow is on the way and the other resorts are opening soon so get out there and enjoy, say hi to Faye.

Fathead Travis

Fathead, the fast-growing sports and entertainment brand best-known for its life-size wall graphics is expanding its Action Sports Line, just as fast as AST Dew Tour is expanding across the world. Fathead now can add Snow to its product categories in Action Sports in addition to Motocross, BMX, and Skate.

The Fathead Action Sports athlete roster includes Travis Pastrana and Chad Reed(Motocross), Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist(BMX), Ryan Sheckler and Paul Rodriguez(Skate) and Travis Rice (Snow). “I’ve always been a fan of Fathead, and was stoked when the opportunity was presented to have a Fathead featuring me in action” Travis Rice. “Since snowboarding is seasonal, I hope my Fathead serves as inspiration on fellow snowboarders walls to keep them fired up and focused on snowboarding year-round.”

“Frontside 720 melon grab or backside rodeo 720; no matter what trick Travis is performing they are sick,” Brock Weatherup, CEO, Fathead. “This relationship could not have been forged at a more perfect time. Travis will now be able to straight jump to fan’s walls and just in time for the holidays, but more importantly the winter games.”

Fathead’s stellar all- star roster can be purchased on the company’s Web site; www. Fathead.com or by calling (877)-FATHEAD where over 400 of the best sports and entertainment images can be found.

A “Fathead” is a bold, colorful, life-size wall graphic of sports and entertainment stars. The 3-D like vinyl graphics have a special adhesive backing that enables them to be moved from wall to wall.

Please feel free to post your comments about any of our Banana Snowboards below:

I have been rocking my 156 Skate Banana Snowbaord since opening weekend at A-basin and have been riding Keystone since they opened...

I was throwing down at Keystone's park setup on Spring Dipper this past Wednesday and people had nothing but questions or comments about the banana snowboard. Everyone wanted to know either how it rode or provide positive comments from when they had demoed it the previous year... So not only is it "The One and Only Quiver Killer", but it is quite the conversation starter.

On the quiver killer note, I currently own a xurton uninc 158, xome artifact 150, x2 www 151 and a xurton custom 154. My banana snowboard 156 totally blows all of them away. It is so poppy, buttery and the edge hold has been like no other. This thing is all around AWESOME! I haven't touched the edges since I bought it and it didn't snag when I boardslide a ribbed culvert at Keystone. It doesn't slide out on early Keystone ice and trust me I have laid down some hard edges on those ice patches just to put this banana snowboard to the test. The base is so fast that you need hardly any space between hits. So now am I looking at getting rid of all my other boards and possibly picking up the boxscratcher banana snowbaord if I can get a deal on one... What can I say I am stuck on the banana and everyone has banana envy... Some have asked if I thought riding the banana was cheating and I said NO, cause anyone can buy this thing... Go get a banana snowboard and experience TRUE GREATNESS under your feet! Like the others posting on this forum I have nothing to gain from posting here except to help the other consumers like myself out. If you have more questions hit me up at Keystone and I will do my best to answer...

For those worried about toe drag, weight and all that stuff... I am 5'9 162 with a size 10 boot... I rock a 23 inch stance set to 15 front and back. I haven't had any problem with toe drag and like I said I have put the nana to the test.

P.S. I am proud that my banana snowboard was built in the USA!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK at LIB-TECH!!! Thanks!!!
