Hello out there in Internet world... The snowboard industry has a lot going on in the next few months so hope you have some travel funds saved up because some of these events you do not want to miss.

Anyways.... Some to check out:

Waterville Valley, NH turns pink: for the 4th year, Waterville turns pink to support Boarding for Breast Cancer on Super bowl Sunday, Feb 1st.

Red Bull Snowscrapers, NYC: Thursday, February 5th 2009: 16 amazing riders will descend upon the East River Park in New York City to compete for 850 TTR ranking points and a beefy $100 000 prize purse in what is sure to be a throw down of epic proportions. Bundle up, it is supposed to snow that night! Gates open at 3pm.

Red Bull Buttercup; Mount Snow: Feb 28th head North to Mount Snow for the newest contest series on the east coast. " Red Bull has built a super fun, custom butterpad that will be traveling to each resort in the series. Set at the base of your local mountain, under the lights after the lifts are closed, Red Bull Buttercup is all about how much style you can spread onto the butterpad. Jib, bonk, tap and slide your way across the multi-featured pad however you like, just make sure you lay it on with a lot of smooth buttering." Winning finals could make you $1,000 richer. Get that paper.

And the biggest snowboarding event on the east coast is Burton's US Open. Taking place March 16-22nd at Stratton Mountain, VT. Always a good time, outstanding riders and parties that seem to last for daysssssssssss.
