EARLY NOVEMBER and PARK RATS

It's still very pre-seasonish here in Tahoe. So we are trying to stay occupied as best we can. We really hope more snow is on the way, and to our dismay snow dances are a myth, they don't work. So pray, dance, sacrifice a small mammal, whatever you must do to bring the snow. In the meantime enjoy some boarding. . .

NIGHT SHRED. . . with Bosco & Horgan

Last night (Nov. 27th) Boreal opened for night operation, and to top that, a weather system ripped through and dropped another 6 inches of snow on Tahoe. Chris Bosco and Alex Horgan wasted no time on getting up to the hill and moon dancing in the storm. The dudes also wasted no time on shredding the hell out of whatever fresh snow they could find. Enjoy the first taste of powder in the Sierras.

FIRST SNOW

So our little town of Truckee received six inches of snow this week. Not a glorious amount, I know, but it was enough to excite the likes of John Foy, Brandon Cocard, Dan Conroy, and Alex Horgan. The group got in the van as usual and hit the local high school. With Max, Alex's dog, along for the ride, the group shreded whatever they could on the football field. Check out what they got into durring Truckee's first snow.

A DAY ON THE SLOPES with Porters Tahoe

So some of the warehouse staff/Porters snowboard team decided to hit the slopes on a sunny day in November. Needless to say it was a great time. Featuring Porters team memebers Brandon Cocard, Chris Bosco, Brendon Drury, Zak Shelhamer, and Alex Horgan.

What's the Happs?

Well not too much happening in Tahoe yet. Boreal is open to the top though, check out some edits from Colton Feldman.

GET IN THE VAN is making a movie, and we're trying to do it right. After a lot of brainstorming, we (Rob Balding, Chase Roscelli, and Alex Horgan) came up with an idea for how it should look, and put it into a two minute preview for the world. Stay tuned to the blog for a hellofa lot more updates on what GET IN THE VAN is doin'

HOLY SH*#T

You ever heard of that movie MAN ON FIRE with Denzel Washington? Well we did, and we're doing a sequel called VAN ON FIRE. Don't let your power windows get wet kids, bad things happen.

What's the Happs?

For all you haters.

Some may label the Chevy Astro as somewhat a "soccer mom" vehicle. Well this guy ain't no soccer mom, and neither are we.



By the way Get In The Van has a surprise up it's sleeve. Let's just say it rhymes with groovy and starts with an M. Stay tuned for details.

P.T.F Report 7

The P.T.F ventured out to Utah last week in search of snow. Filmer Rob, Chris Gulick, Alex Peterson, and myself hit the road with hopes of riding powder. Unfortunately it warmed up, so we switched gears and went boarding in the city. All in all the trip was a success, we found some snow and had a ton of fun. Enjoy!

Get your head in the game

So the P.T.F recently invested in a Go Pro head mounted camera. P.T.F sponsor, Porters Tahoe, has these cameras in stock, and they are a blast too film with. I took this camera for a spin at Northstar to see how it worked, and to my surprise, this compact camera delivered a less than compact image. The P.T.F is very proud of there investment, and look for more head cam action from Utah. We depart for Utah tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn, and according to the weather man we will be greeted by seven days of sun and cold temperatures. Stay tuned P.T.F report seven and more shenanigans from the P.T.F.
