Squaw Valley Expands Night Park

If you're a California resident who's a fan of night riding, you'll be happy to hear that Squaw Valley is expanding their night park. Beginning this winter, they will now be running the High Camp Lift instead of the Belmont lift at night. The High Camp Lift provides access to the Riviera and Belmont Parks, so shredders can enjoy a larger terrain. The Belmont Terrain park is going to be transformed into a new KidZone which will have a lot of fun features designed specifically for children.

Top 10 Snowboarding Destinations

Bump it!

Wow, it's already Oct. 1, which means summer is long gone and snow season is just around the corner. This season, I suggest you step out of your comfort zone and go ride a new mountain. There are so many great ski and snowboard locations, why would you want to limit yourself? Living in southern California, I'm a bit limited when it comes to where I can snowboard, but this year I'm really going to make it a point to get over to Park City, UT. While looking for other mountains I may want to try out, I came across a list of the top 10 places to board. I'm going to share it with you, but I'd also love to hear your guys' opinions. I've only been to one of the mountains on this list (Mammoth), so I'd love to hear your personal experiences. Then, I think we should make it our mission to try one of these mountains that we've never been to before.

Ski Resorts Will be Opening Right Around the Corner...

Closing01

As the end of August draws near, I couldn't stop myself from feeling a little bit sad to say goodbye to summer... although that only lasted for about 2 minutes before I remembered what the end of summer means: snow season is right around the corner! Whether you live in Colorado or New Hampshire, in the next couple of months you'll be putting away your shorts and tees and pulling out your hoodies and mittens. As I started getting more and more excited thinking about the slopes, my new snowboard and the snowboard weekends I already have set up, I decided to check out when the first ski resorts will be opening. Living in San Diego, I know nothing down here will be opening up too soon, but here are the projected opening dates for some of the top ski resorts in Colorado. As early as next month (considering the August is already done in my books), skiers and snowboarders will be able to start shreddin' snow in Colorado.

While most people are hitting the beaches and BBQs for 4^th of July weekend, you could be grabbing your snowboard and heading out for a weekend full of carving, half pipes and rails. That’s right, Mammoth Mountain, CA, will stay open for skiing and snowboarding through the 4^th of July. This is only the 11^th time this has happened in the past 31 years.

Canyon Lodge and the Eagle Base area have both closed for the season, but the Main Lodge will remain open.
