Introducing: Seattle’s flying squirrel!

Austin Sweetin is ready to blow your mind!

(Ed. note: Sometimes words are a waste of motherfucking time. And so without further ado I present Todd Richards)

If you will, just stop for a moment and imagine what a flying squirrel would act like if he was given the chance to be human. Yeah, Austen is pretty much that exactly.

And without further ado we present Austin Sweetin.


Partiers in Burton's new space and Bad Santa all gettin' hyped!

Burton downsizing! Come celebrate!

Nothing says, "Let's rage" like a belt tightening!

Ain’t no party like a Burton party cuz a Burton party don’t stop (unless ex-employees write letters criticizing Bad Santa + Ms. Claus and the Carpenters decide to very publicly wear their hurt feelings on their sleeves. Or unless it buys Channel Islands surfboards at the top of a market which soon after slides into oblivion and hemorrhages cash. Or maybe unless Analog. Or possibly unless Bad Santa disappears for a minute whilst designing the latest/greatest yak hair ankle length jacket and gets lost in the desert…)

And you know we gonna party like a Burton party ’til somebody calls the cops because YO! Burton is downsizing their New York store, moving to a smaller location with less visibility and slightly worse curb appeal and…. drumroll…. cheaper rent!

Poor me some o dat Costco gin but don’t forget to top it with sum off-brand Sunny D!

Toasting fiscal responsibility, the tightening of a belt, cost cutting makes for the best time ever and Hondo, LodgeGrit‘s east coast desk, is going to right up in there this Saturday grinding super way close to the rest of the revelers lauding the economic mindedness!

He can’t wait.

And together, penny wise pound foolish, we’re making snowboarding fun again!


Who wore it best? Political edition!

Tomorrow America choses a president. Which possibility would you rather snow with?

Now obviously when Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald J. Trump head to the mountains for winter sport they strap on skis, not snowboards. They are old, rich, east coasters. So these skiing pictures are the best we have. But the question is… who is doing snow better?

Hillary Clinton is pairing a tight-ish pair of baby blue pants with a men’s pea-coat (?), pink/red scarf, Rastafari stocking cap and the biggest gloves on earth. Very normcore. Very trendy.

Donald Trump is going for a black pantsuit but throwing game in a signature gold glove and the closest he could find to gold (neon yellow) goggle and topping it off with a jaunty purple beanie.

And the question is now… who would you prefer to spend the day rolling with? Like, pretend they both snowboarded ok. Like, groomers ok. But you had to stay with one of them all day long.

Who would it be?


Celebrate: Smoke weed from snowball!

California is going legal (fingers crossed etc.)!

Marijuana is not legal in California for recreational use. But guess what? Tomorrow it might be! Like Washington and Colorado and Oregon! An unbreakable progressive bloc sucking the very marrow (cannabis) out of life!

No matter your personal usage, don’t you think others should be able to smoke, dab, vape, etc. and not have to worry about the fucken man harshing their deal?

Don’t you?

If you are in the snow right now maybe you’d like to celebrate California’s impending freedom. Maybe you’d like to smoke some weed from a snowball/Canadian waterpipe.

Follow these easy instructions here!


Dear Pro: “Are you a top or a bottom?”

And other questions that you are probably too afraid to ask!

Have you ever wanted to just ask your favorite pro snowboarders a question, just one question? Well sometimes I do. So I found some of them on Facebook, and I asked them some questions.

There’s still a few out there that haven’t been answered (Chris Grenier, Scott Stevens I’m looking at you…)

Have anyone you want me to ask?

Let me know in the comments below.
