After a long wait and much anticipation, we are very excited to say that our Treasure Mountain Hut trip outside Silverton, Colorado is good to go and accepting booking inquiries.  $1099/person gets you three days of unreal shredding in San Juan terrain that’s been explored mostly by pro film crews, two nights of lodging at either Treasure Mtn. Hut or Bonnie Bell Cabin, 3 catered meals a day, facilitated access via snowmobile and snowcat, transport of gear and food to the hut, grooming of the cat track for quicker laps, and 24/7 support from the TMH liasons to help with all your shred needs.  Check out the TMH page to learn all the details and how to book! SUPER stoked on this one…

It’s Thursday so that means you all are thirsty for… rad news!  We’ve got a couple good things for you all to be stoked on today…

“The East Coast’s Premier Snowboarding Event Series,” The Main Event, is back for its 8th annual season.  Featuring the hottest of the hot in East Coast snowboard talent.  Featuring three stops – Bretton Woods on Jan. 15th, Sugarbush Jan. 29th, and Sugarloaf for the finals Feb. 5th.  SGT is giving away the grand prize for most overall points, a all-expense paid trip to Argentina next summer!  Shane Fortier walked away with it last year after stomping an enormous double back at Stowe, beating out John Murphy by ONE POINT.  It was heated and heavy and every stop was an awesome show.  Anyone who rides one stick in the East and thinks they got some steeze, register for this series.

SGT Argentina client Matilde Byskov, who moved from her native Denmark to Japan yesterday for the season, just sent us this video from Niseko, where it’s abosolutely PUKING, as usual.  Need to get on board for one of the best shred trips around to the Far East, check out our Japan trip here…

And surprise, surprise… it’s DUMPING in Silverton!  50″ out of this past storm is making us sweat in our NH office staring at the melting snowbanks in this January thaw.

Our client and homie Jake Cohn, now running Unofficial Whistler with SGT filmer and resident fat boy Jon “Officially Fat” Conway, was home in Telluride for the holidays and got to take some laps with SGT guide and NH native “Sneaky” Pete Connolly.  At a balmy -17 degrees farenheit outside, the boys lapped untracked fresh all day at the tail end of the unguided season in Silverton.  Need to get your San Juan fix? Stay tuned to our Silverton Treasure Mountain Hut trip page for one of sickest backcountry adventures in the Lower 48…

The first webisode  of Jamie Anderson’s “Visuals” is coming out soon, with the first episode coming from her time with us in Argentina during the Santa Rosa storm.

Stay tuned….

Jake Cohn, now running Unofficial Whistler with SGT filmer-boy/fat-boy Jon “Moustache and Cheesburger” Coonway, getting shacked at Whistler.  We’re very excited that the Unofficial Networks has expanded their media domination from Squaw-only to several other regions of radness in the snow world (Jackson Hole, Telluride, Snowbird, even STOWE), and that our boy Miles Clark is fully running the Squaw side of things.

The Telluride site also posted a sick photo from Jake jumping the only in-bounds cliff at Telluride that had never been boosted before, affectionately called “Leap of Jake.”  He is crushing it!

More super fun backcountry pow shredding with SGT Argentina coaches Nicki Schlekta and Michelle Parker.  These guys have been filling our newsfeed with all the snow Tahoe’s been getting – yeah ladies!

And I dug up this old video, “Translocation,” that one of our filmers, Jon Conway, made in Bariloche a few years ago.  Great project and a different way of seeing Bariloche.

Greg Von Doersten for ESPN The Magazine A much-needed timeout: Jones may trek for nearly a full day to reach the top of his runs.

He has come here to complete his journey. It’s taken almost two years to reach this place, hidden deep within the backcountry of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range, and even deeper within himself. But it’s taken Jeremy Jones a lifetime — 35 years — to accumulate the knowledge, skill and desire to find it.

It’s shortly before 5 a.m. on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, a day most people begin by incapacitating their alarm clocks. Jones, on the other hand, needs only anticipation to stir him from his sleeping bag. He dresses in the deep dark of the great outdoors: well-worn yellow snowboard pants, a sky-blue jacket and a white beanie he pulls tightly over unruly auburn waves. He laces into his snowboard boots and calls out to his crew — a photographer, a videographer and up-and-coming big-mountain snowboarder Ralph Backstrom — to make sure each is awake and vertical. Once they are, the men gather around the camp’s makeshift kitchen and fill their bellies with warm coffee and oatmeal.

Holidays or not, the SGT Tour with Sierra Nevada College and Flat Rate Moving keeps on cruisin’.  Tuesday we went to Castleton State College in Vermont for a visit, then after some turkey and mom grub Thanksgiving day it was back to spreading the good word…

The Moore brother reppin’ SGT hard at the Portsmouth premiere of the Modern Collective’s Innerception.

Friday we joined local surf shop and my former employer (from waaaay back) Cinnamon Rainbows to premiere the Modern Collective’s new surf film, Innerception.  After a stack of prizes including Dakine packs and a GoPro camera, it was onto extracurriculars in Portsmouth.

Saturday we were at the absolutely packed Rye Airfield for the Granite Gorge/Steez Mini Mag/SGT Jibba Jabba rail jam.  The GG crew packed in heaps of ice rink snow from all over Seacoast NH for the super fun setup, including a down-bar, “the crippler,” and a small box to culvert pipe.

The setup for the Jibba Jabba rail jam.
