Film: The Story of Zeppelin Zeerip!

A gorgeous break in your day!

Some names you hear and think, “Who?” Like Bob Jones. Or Jason Newmann. Other names you hear and think, “Star!” Like Darryl Strawberry. Or Zeppelin Zeerip.

And this film, in its quiet, in its story-telling, soars. It is like a drink of cool water in an overheated day.

It is gorgeous. The noted Willie McMillon says it cleaner though. He says:

This shits cool. So is this kid.

Amen.

Kimura: All heart! No hype!

Watch one of snowboarding's realest soar!

Jess Kimura just dropped a video part. A good one. We just had to scrape the link off Facebook & show you.

Here’s what she said about it:

So after scraping my way through last season I had a much-needed shoulder surgery and started editing to pass the time in rehab. Originally I put this together just for fun, to show my sponsors and friends. It’s been a rough road with countless injuries and setbacks but I decided to share this with the world anyways. You only live once. Cameo by Kaleah Opal, dedicated to Mark Dickson.

All heart, no hype. That’s what makes Jess one of snowboarding’s realest. Her friend Kaleah Opal looks like a badass, too. Check it out

The dump is on!

Hoodoo and Willamette Pass are gonna get snowed for sure and weed! And snow!

Is your board tuned?

Here’s the Register Guard to tell you more:

There is a potential for 3 to 6 inches of new snow on the major passes in the Cascades for Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon, according to the weather service. Overnight lows are expected to drop to the mid-20s at the passes.

Showers and cool temperatures will persist Tuesday in the Willamette Valley, the weather service said. A high of 53 is forecast Tuesday in Eugene with up to half an inch of rain possible.

Stronger rain showers on Tuesday could produce small hail in the Willamette Valley, according to the weather service. A high of 51 is forecast Wednesday for Eugene.

A cold and unstable air mass will linger across the region Wednesday and possibly Thursday, bringing off-and-on showers, particularly along the coast and across higher terrain, the weather service said.

How to: Move to Canada STD free!

Donald Trump is America's president! Would you like to swap for Justin Trudeau instead? Follow these easy steps!

If you’re sticking to your plan of post-Trump emigration, brothers and sisters, you better pack up and bug out while you still can. Make haste to the Great White North. To Canada. Oh, Canada! Where the mountains are big and beautiful and not racist or hateful or lizard-brained …

But don’t go blind. You need to know where to go. So we’re telling you. And while many of our friendly and very decent neighbors to the north will not appreciate these recommendations, all we can say is Soary, but these are desperate times.

Here are a few dreamy spots to escape your new American Nightmare!

Banff: If you really love the mountains and can somehow avoid infection in Canada’s STD capital, this gem in the Alberta Rockies has lots to offer. Consistent snowpack, 3 resorts, endless backcountry, hot springs, and that notoriously nasty nightlife.

revy

Revelstoke: Canadians from the east blew out Whistler long ago. So unless you like crowds, go to Revy. Located in southeastern B.C. it’s got a resort with the biggest vertical drop in North America and is squeezed between the legendary Kootenay & Monashee ranges. Powder country.

red

Quebec City: For the more urban-oriented expat, the classy, European vibe of this city, coupled with its long cold winters and endless supply of street spots makes Quebec a very inviting terminus for snowboarders in exile. Before you go, study the Bandwagon videos and study French.

There are lots of other places we could recommend but for now, this is it. Okay? Altight, bye. Have a nice trip. See you in 2020 if we make it that long.

Buy: Your very own stoner resort!

The Stoner Ranch is literally for sale!

Do you gots a cool $13 mil in your mattress right now? Are you confused as to what to do with it? Gold just got so expensive! And stocks are topsy-turvy. Real-estate? America’s new President is way into real-estate and probably gonna cut taxes etc. on property.

Real estate!

And have I got a deal for you! There is a mountain in Colorado called The Stoner Ranch and it for sale!

For only 13 million clams!

Let’s read about it!

The San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado are home to some of the most stunning mountain landscapes in the world and the Stoner Ranch is smack dab in middle of it.

This ranch is every outdoorsmen’s dream and for a measly $13.9 million, it could all be yours. Among other amenities, The Stoner Ranch used to be home to Stoner Ski Area (1951-1985) and the remaining trails create perfect ski touring possibilities right out your back door. In total, three main descents with countless variations offer 1,260′ descents into the Dolores River Valley.

In addition to the ski area, the property boasts 1.7 miles of riverfront access to the free flowing, upper Dolores River. The fly fishing is some of the best in Colorado and being bordered on three sides by national forest, the possibilities for outdoor adventure are virtually endless.

Yeah. Endless. This is Colorado, right, where along with Washington, Oregon and California, weed is legal.

Each run down the hill could be fronted by gorgeous greenhouses curing the world’s finest marijuana, which is sold in the well-appointed lodge below. There could be pit stops along the way. Neat little igloos for chill hot box action. Etc.

But let’s get serious. I think you could easily turn a large profit simply marketing the name The Stoner Ranch.

Wanna go in with me? All you have to do is front $13,000,000.00 and leave the rest to me.
