Hot For The Holidays

Global Warming has anyone who cares about snow wanting more to fall.

And so sad, I don’t think Santa is able to deliver. 

At least not in the four-foot deep, blizzardous form I remember growing up. 

When I think of the holiday season, I think of being snowed into a warm house with my family.  I think of snowboarding trips with friends, building snowmen, and pegging my sister with as many snowballs as I could throw before she made it to the house.

Snow.  Where is it?  That’s all I want, and it seems I’m not alone. 

We just covered the premier of Absinthe Films’ latest release 'Optimistic?' as part of the Sphere of Influence Tour, which is a film tour geared at raising awareness about Global Warming.  When we asked the pros Mark Frank Montoya, Nicolas Muller and Justin Bennee what they wanted for the holidays this year, every single one said SNOW.  They said that as professional riders, they’ve seen the marks on the rocks where the glaciers used to stand hundreds of feet higher.  Year after year they notice  the climate change, and it sucks.  Sure, they’ll be able to take Heli-trips to Alaska and still find snow, but for resort riders like you and me. Holiday Season is no longer synonymous with Killer Snowboarding Trips.
