From Fliers

In Tahoe we have 2 seasons, winter and road construction. Right now the road construction season is in full swing. One of the staging areas for some of the North Shore construction is literally in my back yard. Some days they work 24 hour shifts so all night I hear the beep, beep, beeeeeeep of trucks backing up ,rocks being dumped out, that is the worse sound and a plethora of other sounds that go with this. If they are not working a 24 hour shift they start the work day around 5:30 am. That is what happen this morning...then just as I fell back into a deep sleep some crappy telemarketer called my house at 7am! WTF!...oh and to top it off today is my day off. So much for sleeping in! I posted on my Facebook that I was pissed and this was the nice picture I got from my friend "waffles", needless to say it made my day.

Going green is the thing right now....We should always try to find a way to lessen our global impact when we can. Here's a little Web article from Tansworld Snowboarding and a shot featuring PortersTahoe.com Team Rider Brandon Cocard at Alpine Meadows. Brandon is currently on the road where he going to be competing in the 2nd stop of the Dew Tour in Vermont! Go Brandon! In the photo here of Brandon...he looks like the kinda guy who would smash his beer cans on his forehead and then throw them away in the Lake. Granted, after his epic volleybal game, he slammed those beers and let "IceMan" dispose of them properly.

“ THESE DAYS “
Transworld SNOWboarding Productions

All you need to know is that this is produced by the world’s #1 snowboarding magazine, Transworld SNOWboarding. This film delivers the most progressive and current riding—fresh faces, fresh lines, fresh tricks. Expect standout parts from Aussie transplant Robbie Walker, Sweden’s Jonas Carlson, and Northwest new jacks Nick Dirks and Lucas Debari. But don’t sleep on the rest of the gang, with Tim Eddy, Jonas Michilot, Louif Paradis, Dustin Craven, and Chad Otterstrom rounding out the roster. Filmed throughout the Northwest, up and down the Rockies, deep into the interior of British Columbia, and down every alley in Eastern Canada in search of the never-been-shredded, These Days doesn’t disappoint.
