Snowbomb Ski & Snowboard Fest in SF
So I'm good friends with Jim McAlpine - founder / owner of Snowbomb and the infamous Tahoe Card. He approaches me I think this was last spring or maybe even a year ago, and says that he wants to do a big event in the City....and do it RIGHT. I'm totally down for multiple reasons, of course, but I really had no expectations in the first year.
Wow.
If you weren't there at Fort Mason in San Francisco this past weekend, then you definitely missed a great all around time. The free lift ticket alone was worth the price of admission. The beer and wine tasting opportunities were outstanding. And then getting to find deals on snowboard and ski gear at 50% off or better?? What's not to like about all of that?
Seriously.
Take a look at just some of the pics from this past weekend of our setup. I wish I had time to go take pictures of the rest of the massive layout, but from the second the doors opened until they closed, I didn't move from behind the register.......
This line went from the register, made a 180 turn back on itself, went around the outside of our sale and down the side. God bless you people who stood in line for an hour just to get some deals from us. Next year we promise to have double the cash registers, people, and gear to sell!

So after a long, long day that started at 4am up in Tahoe, we went out that night for an awesome dinner.
And the next day, after another non-stop, rockin' day of deals, we felt just like these poor guys literally falling asleep (or was that passing out?) while the wives kept spending money......
See ya next year!!

First day-
So the first day was kind of a logistical nightmare, trying to contact people at Hood is kind of hard because they are out shredding. We had some product that we brought with us to shoot so we decided to get on that and then deal with the rest of the planning in the afternoon.
If you have never been to Hood in the summer do it, it is an awesome time. So we set up shop in the parking lot at Timberline and got to work but not with out doing some awesome people watching. Check out the rims and the tire side lunch!
Once off the hill we were hooked up at Windells with passes to sk8 and shred the snow park. So the boys got their sk8 on and since I obviously forgot my deck and I am still hurting from playing “Bumper-car Queen” I watched from the sidelines. After shredding for a bit dinner was served and we jumped in line with the kiddies and waited for sweet hamburgers, tots and tofu. After dinner we went up to the Building out Back aka BOB for camper orientation, that was fun.
We then hooked up with Porters team rider and Windells Coach Brandon Cocard for an after dinner concrete quaterpipe session which Brandon destroyed! After some sweet shots we headed back to the Ark, where most of the Windells coaches live, and a few of the boys took some much needed showers, except for Rom who declared that he would not shower for the whole week! See you tomorrow.

Truckee to Hood!
I worked a bakery at Squaw for eight years so that means that I was at work by 5:30am. Just so you know it has been a few years since that job so waking up early on Tuesday didn’t go so smooth. A. I forgot my skateboard, B. I forgot my iPod and the bad oooops is that I forgot my atlas.
We, Eric our photo guy and team manager, his assistant and Omatic rider Zak Shelhamer, Line tech rep Rom Marrcucci, my buddy Dave and myself, all met at the Porters warehouse at 6am, really early for a few of our travelers, loaded up the RV to head to Mt. Hood. Once I got there I realized all the stuff I forgot, so I jumped on Google to find the map to Hood, hit print and we were off. We headed out on 395 to Susanville and once there we were to take a right towards Alturas but we missed the turn and ended up heading out to Lassen National Park. So we ended up on a little detour, a four-hour detour. POO! Being that there were some photo bugs on board we pulled over in Lassen to take some shots of its most beautiful landscape. Once out of Lassen we headed towards our original highway 299 but soon realized that we were in need of gas and food. We soon came to Fall River Mills Ca and stopped at a gas station that not only sold gas but they also sold bullets, booze and liquor. This little mart also had a little burrito shop inside and I m glad to say that none of us got rot-gut so I do recommend stopping at the Sportsman Liquor.
So remember how I said that 6am was early for some of our travelers, well Rom and Zack pretty much slept the entire way to Hood all while Eric pulled a huge shift behind the wheel. We finally pulled into Hood and Eric and I, as I was co-pilot , we were beat and went to bed to get an early start on the next day!
