EVENT POST




..If you plan on making it up to this event then you'll be about 27 years late. This magazine clip was from an old readers digest and was my first look at snowboarding. I wish I had a camera at the time of this event because all the original heavies were there getting their shred on. I don't know if anyone actually hit 60MPH on those old whips but they sure were cranking down that hill and taking a beating when they ate it during the speed trials....awesome.

CAPTAIN AL

Our official man in the woods has his own trail signs now. This ones for "Crazy Man Chutes" at Stowe ...I'm not really sure what those Vt guys are referring too, but hopefully it's for a trail. Al Engelhart is the man.

SAVE ALL WEEKEND

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

????? hummmm

This morning we were either visited by Chris Haslam and friend or a total Haslam want to be. Not many people look like this and creep around quietly in a pair of Globes. Everyone did the triple take but just couldn't fan out and ask..soooo anyway Chris, if it was you thanks for popping into EB.

OPEN TODAY

Looks like Mother Nature has been outdone again. With temps below freezing for the past week the ski areas have taken full advantage of making their own snowstorms. Wachusett OPENS TODAY and has also put an extension on the season pass savings until Nov 23rd. Sign up before Sunday online asap if you need a pass..you'll save $100 on them. Use the GPS Club program and sign up under EAstTERN BOARDER / LEOMINSTER ..... We'll catch you guys on the snow weekday mornings before the shop opens for a couple hours. Look for a couple fun low key events there too this winter with EB.

ATTN: TONY D


Played it twice while in Mexico. Even though I suck at golf I can appreciate a good course. It didn't hurt that the beer cart was always around either.

OAKLEY PARTY



Oakley threw another bender at the Red Hook Brewery last night. Trouble played and many many beverages were consumed by shred hungry "industry folk." Some of the photos are a little blurry but that's how most of the people saw the evening anyway. Enjoy.
