Forever Snow
Hi I am an intern and my name is Kayla. I am currently stuck in one of the lamest parts of the country…The Texas panhandle. This is  a place where not only the summer is terrible, but so are the winters because it does snow but due to the vast area of flatness there is nothing to do with it. I think deciding to move away from Colorado to finish school here was a terrible decision in some ways, but luckily I am a short drive from from the mountains.

Gretchen Bleiler and June Bhongjan
These two appear in the latest HCSC recap from session 3. Also, Micah Hollinger is certifiably insane on a skateboard. Check it:

Reason #846 Why WInter is Better Than Summer
During the winter, everyone doesn’t run their ACs 24/7, thereby causing a transformer to explode and lie sparking in the street for an hour, causing the electric company to turn of the power all night. Fortunately, the apartment buildings who were probably responsible for this overuse of power all have their own generators, so they weren’t screwed. Unfortunately, I live across the street from these buildings, not in them, and had no power. Yay for summer

Tokidoki vs. My Online Shopping Obsession
Hello! My name is Suzanne, and as a new intern here, my main (self-proclaimed) duty is to find too many things that we should want to buy. It shouldn’t be too hard considering I already do this for myself. I have an unhealthy obsession with online shopping, quite possibly because I live in the bubble that is Steamboat Springs, CO where I have to drive an hour and a half just to get to Target.

Online Jeans Shopping Made Easy(er)
So if you’re anything like me (stretched to the limit by job and other obligations that suck up all your time), you’re an avid online shopper. Since I don’t have time to get to the stores during the week and I’d rather shoot myself than spend an afternoon at the mall during the lovely summer months (and winter months) I buy pretty much all of my clothes online. The main peril of this being that damn, buying jeans online is a pain. Jeans shopping in general can be a painful experience This is the reason that I switched to wearing hideously expensive designer jeans, actually. However, my bank account no long can afford that, so I’m back to buying all of the skate brands I love. It’s a little upsetting to buy a pair of jeans, wait for them to arrive, only to discover that you cannot squeeze yourself into them because they’re apparently intended for girls who are about 8-years-old. I can’t tell you how many jeans I have sitting in my apartment, waiting to be returned.

Snowboarder Wins the Bachelorette!
Hi. My name is Oly The Intern and I’m addicted to reality television.
It’s true. It’s a sickness that millions of Americans suffer from each year. We sit in front of our television sets and turn on Flavor Of Love for the cat fights or Survivor to see people eat rats. This season of The Bachelorette was no different. Viewers turned in to watch Deanna Pappas pick a soul mate out of a group of randomly picked guys from across the country. What made the group interesting this year? Jesse Csincsak - “The Snowboarder”. From Breckenridge, Colorado Jesse Csincsak was the laid back guy with the crazy jackets. If you read the online chat rooms, most viewers didn’t know if he was going to make it to the end. But he did. Deannna & Jesse are now engaged and have a wedding date set for next year. But, what makes this snowboarder tick? I was intrigued and decided to dig a little deeper.
First Meeting With Deanna.

Whistler Reality TV
New from snowboard.com: I got this message about a casting call? For a reality TV show based in Whistler. Apparently it’s not about snowboarders, it’s about the day-to-day life of residents of Whistler. So, that means it’s about drunken and/or coked up partiers?

Thriftless Ugly Thursdays
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog ranting about the death of the company Nau. Happily, it looks like they found a new business partner, and they will be able to continue their innovative company. Yay!
And now onto Thriftless Thursdays.
Last weekend, my boyfriend I went to the surf shop to get some new board shorts. I immediately noticed a display for the ugliest shoes in the world. They had one of those signs that change depending on where you look at them that said “This is not a shoe,” or “This is not a sandal.” The sign was right. For all intents and purposes, the “shoes” or whatever they were looked like slippers. Slippers that an 80 year old man would wear.

Today’s Web Waves
I went surfing again, web surfing that is. [It’s okay...you can gag at how corny that was]
Here’s a hypothetical situation. You fall off the side of a trail while snowboarding and ragdoll into a bunch of trees like a pinball. Okay, so maybe that’s a little extreme for hypotheticals, but if such a thing did happen you’d be off snow for awhile. How better to get your dosage of snowboarding for the ailing body than….LEGOS snowboard!!!
