Lucas had his first Twitter experience last Friday and spent a couple hours fielding questions from snowboarders out in the tweet-land. He caught on pretty quick and really hammered out answers once he had the hang of it. Here’re a few excerpts…
For many in the Northern Hemisphere summer is starting to wind down, thoughts are beginning to turn to video premiers, new magazines and the upcoming winter season, but for the Southern half of the globe winter is currently full on. The Rome team has had a pretty busy summer so far, here’s a brief update of what’s been going on.
Although he’s left with a pretty savage scar, Bjorn Leines is now 100% recovered from his vicious arm injury he incurred filming with the Absinthe crew. Bjorn is currently in New Zealand with Volcom filming some last minute shots with the 9191 crew.
Stowe is about 20 minutes from the Rome office here in Waterbury Vermont, so it’s no surprise that most employees here claim it now as their “home mountain”. When we picked someone who fit the bill for “Locals Only”, although there are a ton of great locals over there, Toohey stood out to all of us.
Toohey’s one of the most positive, glass-half-full guys you’ll ever meet. With a constant friendly smile framed by what is undoubtedly the best mustache in the Central/ Northern Vermont area, he’s a hard guy not to like.
So give us a quick run-down of how you became a Stowe local.
I moved to Stowe from Hardwick, VT when I was 18 to work at the mountain as an instructor. After spending a few years here I left for the west like most snowboarders in the Northeast eventually do. It was fun but was missing something that the East Coast had. East is amazing...
It’s hard to believe that it’s already August; it seems like only a few days ago it was June 6th and Windells was starting summer off amidst pow days and freezing temps, and now it’s warm, sunny and Session 6 just finished up. Luckily, there’s still tons of snow up on the hill so there’s been no shortage of shreddogging at Mount Hood.
Lets face it – Mondays suck. Back to class, back to work, back to the grind. We’d all rather be partying with friends, taking turns at the hill, or maybe just catching up on the ol’ tube. Case of the Mondays hopes to give you some helpful tips to make your work or school week [...]
In 1996 the size of Ingemar’s backside air at Riksgransen blew minds, changed everyone’s perception of “big” forever and landed him on multiple covers. It’s still pretty damn big 14 years later.
Im staying at my sisters place in NYC for a few days, she recently moved up to 125st. I never spent much time up here, its a cool neighborhood with lots of good food! Snapped this picture of the world famous Apollo Theatre while out and about.
Snowboard photog Darcia Bacha snapped this one of NW Regional Rider Derrick Lever up on top of the clouds that was featured on Method Mag…pretty sick
