New News!

Get ready for some snow! CT will finally get hit with some snow which is supposed to amount to something. Which is just pretty much awesome. I hope you put your snow tires on!
On another note, Mount Snow is hosting the DEW tour January 8th to 11th. This is going to be an awesome time with great riders, wild parties and features BOTH freestyle skiing and snowboarding. It is the ONLY east coast stop on the tour. Mount Snow is only 2.5 hours away from New Haven. So if I were you, I would start planning in order to catch the best freestylers play around on the 95 acres of freestyle terrain Mount Snow has. Elena Hight, Danny Kass, Hana Beaman, Keir Dillon, Kelly Clark, Mason Aguirre, Kevin Pearce and Pat Moore will all be there plus others! Check out http://www.allisports.com/events/mount-snow for all the detailed details.
ALSO, we got some fresh new gear in from Mishka, RVCA and Burton. Some come and check it out! This is the new Mishka Varsity Jacket that we just got in.... And don't forget that everything is 30% off except for Uggs!

Mount Snow:: Carinthia

We were lucky enough to have a day off to head up to Mount Snow to shred some. We were also lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day that kept it above freezing temps. I wanted to check out the re-designed Carinthia mountain face that is entirely dedicated to freestyle terrain parks. Once the snow really starts falling they will have 125 different features scattered about 12 full terrain parks. It's every jibber and jumpers dream. But meanwhile, the place was still covered in features! It was awesome. Jumps, rails, boxes, rails and barrels. They had enough for beginners to test their courage out and for the "experts" to take off on the big kickers. Every trail we went on had some feature to play around on and since it was the middle of the week it was pretty mellow with people. That gave me room to embarass myself as I tried the bigger features!
Making Carinthia an entire freestyle park was a smart move. In my opinion, freestyle skiers and snowboarders are one of the largest groups and growing. It's exciting to have this giant park on the east coast and now along with The Stash at Killington, you won't have to go out West to find the sickest parks.
