Mode Snow

Oh...before I get going, Laura Hadar and Corey Bolo hosted the premiere of Peepshow behind the Salt Lake City shop FICE on a DIY projector against a building. It was quite cool. Absinthe loves Utah, and Utah loves Absinthe. We are lucky enough that they have premiered their movies in Salt Lake and Park City (usually days apart) for several years now. Justin Hostynek and Patrick Armbruster have consistently put out amazing videos. While videos like Pop, Futureproof and Optimistic have blown minds and upped the ante, last year's Ready got a resounding "meh" from audiences. However, the team pooled their resources and Neverland has once again put Absinthe at the top of the heap. Salt Lake City is in an enviable position for many reasons, not the least of which is the amazing terrain and huge talent pool. The greatest thing for me is going to these movies and having all the kids rally around their friends like Cale Zima (local favorite, sweetest kid in snowboarding!), Phil Da...

You dont' have to pay full price for cool stuff! You can still find fun and trendy items from previous collections. Up to you to dig and make that sweet find! Dogfunk is loaded with gear and accesories at sweet prices. But their BIG ASS SALE ends today! Check these out from Roxy! Sweet rain and snow boots, the Roxy Montreal Boots will keep your feet cozy and warm thanks to the faux fur interior--and that's what sets them appart from other models of rain boots. Wear them over leggings with a short skirt or shorts or over your skinny jeans; the Roxy Montreal Boots are super versatile but the best part is that they keep your feet dry! I just love been able to jump in a big puddle of water or run in the snow while kicking some major ass when in a snow fight. They're also a sick option for your lounge wear after a day of riding: take off your snowboard boots and slip these on! Available in brown (top) or black (here above) on Dogfunk.com's BIG ASS SALE for $53. Hurry, t...

First there was Misschief Films and Chunkyknit Productions. Then Misschief became Runway, and Amber and Alexis and Co. are on to different projects. Riders like Esther Preda, Desiree Melancon and Sara Phillips wanted to take the realm of women's riding films in a different direction. These girls get gnarly, and they want you to know. Peepshow is the new kid on the block, and are operating on the principle of "I get by with a little help from my friends." They don't have much for money, and they crash hard trying new urban combos, and unlike most movies, they leave all of the tough stuff in. It isn't like other movies, where you get a crash sequence, or a bail reel. You're seeing things as they happen, and you're seeing how hard it really is to back board a steep stair set, nosepress a concrete ledge, and land huge drops into deep powder (it's a lot harder than it seems!). The goal of this crew isn't to prove anything to the bros. It's to show w...

We share the good stuff here... so here we go! Enter to win a trip to Australia!! You have until November 15, 2009 to enter. Sorry, but the contest is only open to US ans Canadian residents of 18-35 yo. Check out ROXY.com for more details . While you're on their site, take a look at Roxy's fall 2009 lookbook . Here's one that will be a winner in the US and Europe this winter. Vests have been around this summer and if you haven't started yet to build your collection of various colors, sizes and textiles, choose a few that will complement the ones that you may already have so you can combine them and layer up. Layering and the loose/tight clothes combo are the trend driving this fall's fashion, and I love how comfortable this relaxed style feels and how chic it looks at the same time. This look combines a cotton sweater vest with a shorter vest in jean. I particularly like the details of the Multiple Choice Vest , which is a racerback sweater vest with wood buttons an...

I love summer, don't get me wrong... but seeing stores changing their offerings to fall 2009 lines just brings excitement for winter! Ok, I may be getting a little ahead of myself. But from a fashion side of things, I just love being able to layer up. Fall and winter styles are my favs. Volcom has revealed its fall 2009 line up and as you can see, the 80's and punk rock looks will endure through this winter. I just love collaboration between artists and fashionware designers. Volcom featured artist series is just that. Here is a sick hoodie featuring artwork from Mike Kershnar. The hoodies is actually also part of Volcom's V-Co.logical series. Here's a close up on the artwork. The tiger is one of Kershnar's fav animals. He used to track tigers in Nepal with his father! Now available in black or white on Volcom's website . Mike Kershnar's art can be displayed on your wall, worn on a t-shirt or plastered on your skate deck. I just love his statement of purp...

Don't compromise! Just get them both: quality sound and style all in one. Here is the object of our desires. Earlier this year JBL launched its Roxy line of flashy headphones and earphones. I'll take mine riding as soon as I'm back on the snow (now being in France!), or for a cruise along the beach! These are for the Roxy Ladies out there who just love shredding to the sound of their fav tunez. I fell in love with these and got a pair in lime green after checking out the JBL & Roxy launch party back in May @ the Red Bull space in NYC and have been loving them since!!! Check out the rest of the collection on Roxy's website . From Roxy: JBL audio expertise, matched with the ROXY love of design, has resulted in these headphones, bringing you a new experience in listening to music. The plush ear pads keep you in comfort, as the 40mm drivers pound out amazing JBL sound. With rotating ear cups, you can fold the headphones up for compact storage. Use them, love them an...
