Burton Encourages Snowboarders To ‘Sabotage Stupidity’

There’s still four ski resorts left in the United States that hate snowboarders and refuse to let their kind on the slopes. Burton, clearly unhappy with this, decided to create a contest that is sure to wreak havoc for skiers. Their “Poach for Freedom” challenge encourages riders and crews to let loose on these ski only resorts and promises $5000 to the best video footage documenting the transgressions. Whether for legal reasons or to make people do a little investigation, they don’t mention the four anti-snowboarding resorts, but we do:

• Mad River Glen, VT*
• Deer Valley, UT
• Alta, UT
• Taos, NM

Check Burton’s website for details on how to submit video and updates.
*Snowboarders are supposedly allowed to ride on the mountain but can’t take the only chairlift up.

Never Get Cold Feet With Heated Insoles

The one not-so-great thing about the great outdoors is that it’s usual damp and cold. Keeping your feet warm is essential to staying comfortable and being able to properly indulge in mind altering substances. Scarpa has created these Grizu insoles that keep your feet a blistering 100 Fahrenheit or the temperature of your choice via a mini remote control. The lithium battery powered insoles are designed to not electrocute if you decide to wade through a river, stream, or our favorite: a ford.
