Best of 2011 Snowboarding

This incredible video by bckcntry (featuring the song "Who Knows, Who" by Local Natives) is a compilation of the sickest snowboarding moves. Personally, they made my stomach twist in the most envious of ways. Amazing.

Winter Wonderland pt. 2

Part 2 out of 3 of the pre-footprinted aftermath of Snowpocalypse.

Snowpocalypse?

Last week we (the north-eastern part of the us of a) endured what some called "Snowpocalypse" - Ok, there was a lot of snow and the roads were impossible to drive on and we were basically trapped for about 36 hours, but it wasn't quite to the point where we needed to run to Costco for provisions or anything. The next day was sunny and bright and the snow was perfectly untouched and deserved a photoshoot - and this is the result (to be divvied into a couple posts).

Atwater

A short excursion to the Atwater market in Montreal. Photos by Ted Oyama - budding photographic and architectural entrepreneur.

Reading horoscopes, most important part of the day.

I love this one!

Basically, the Atwater market is more expensive and further away, but has really beautiful and locally grown produce. We were lucky to have gone the day it started snowing!

Mix of the day: Love Thy Brother - The Young Canada Mixtape

Luxe Winter Wear

Chanel + Snow = $$$

I didn't know this existed, but I'm sure it's been out for a while now. I mean, they did samurai gear, right? How could they not think of winter games?





The skis are only $3,600 and I love that they have the Chanel quilted detail.
Thanks, Uncle Karl!

Song of the day: Frankmusik - 3 Little Words (dope video!)

It's a BUTT SLED

"What the HELL are you talking about?!" You say?

These are the Pull on Snow Shorts, by Orvis (found HERE), which is essentially an outfit jam-packed with non-removable fun.

PRO: Your SLED is already attached to your DERRIERE, so you can go sledding without having to carry around that pesky, heavy sled.

CON: You look like an upside down ninja turtle. Which, now that I think of it, it definitely NOT a con; maybe a better con is the fact that your legs have to be elevated the whole time you're sledding, but then again, this is probably a good thing seeing as it would result in one hell of an ab workout.

PRO: It comes in small kids, big kids (a.k.a. American kids) and adult sizes and is only $35.

CON: You can't really sled down with a friend, which could potentially be good because they just drag down your speed and momentum anyway.

Look at these kids having a grand old time!

My Christmas list is getting too long.

p.s. Song of the day: "White Whale" by Fireman (Subterranean Mix)
