On 17, Jan 2011 | No Comments | In Updates, Videos | By Lisa
On Saturday, January 8th Mountain Creek hosted Under Armour’s annual 3rd Rail Jam at South where PA-native Dom Luza took first. The night before the public craziness, the course was open to a few skiers & riders for a private photo shoot under the lights. Photographer Aaron Blatt shot while riders Chris Beresford, Kade Madsen, Tom Weiss, Timmy Kempson, Brett Struthers, Matt Bothfeld & friends got first dibs on all the contest features.
Check out the session in 1080p HD. Awesome quality.

Stance Socks: the Uncommon Thread
On 11, Jan 2011 | No Comments | In Updates | By Lisa
Let’s take a minute to fully appreciate our socks; we rely on them daily yet they’re often overlooked and under-appreciated. Stop shoving your feet into those stretched out, faded, and worn down socks this season & get familiar with Stance.
BamBOO-YAH!
On 28, Dec 2010 | No Comments | In News, Updates | By Lisa
Earlier this year K2 unveiled its latest game-changer; the indestructible BamBooyah core. Taking it’s cue from a skate deck, the core is constructed from multiple cross-layers of bamboo and fiberglass ply. You get the best of both worlds; the lively, lightweight resilience of bamboo and the tried & true reinforcement of fiberglass.
Bambooyah! 12-20-10
The result is a durable, responsive board with pop; perfect for playtime in the park. Lots of freestyle boards are all talk when it comes to enduring abuse from rails & landings, but K2′s so confident in its new tech it’s offering a 5-year warranty. Plus, all the benefits of using bamboo prove that if you’re nice to Mother Nature, she’ll be nice to you. Just look at its resume;
- Strength; has greater tensile strength and weight-to-strength ratio than steel, can withstand more pressure than graphite, & is more stable than oak or walnut.
- Growth Rate; has been recorded to grow as much as 24 inches in a 24 hr period & is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. A plant that’s been cut can fully regenerate in just 3-4 months.
- Lightweight; not as heavy as most beech or poplar cores
-Flexibility; bamboo’s proven ability to bend and bounce back while still maintaining strength has made it a popular material for building structures in earthquake zones
- Sustainability; can be harvested annually with minimal impact on the environment and often doesn’t require replanting
…how’s that for eco-friendly? The K2 Fastplant is the first snowboard on the market to incorporate this technology. With it’s twin tip shape and jib rocker base, riding the Fastplant’s just about as fun as victoriously shouting “Bam BOO-YAH!” in public.
No wonder it’s earned a Best of Test award, Platinum Pick, and tons of rave-reviews. An everlasting, eco-conscious board with Don Pendleton graphics?! Bam BOO-YAH! (ok, that’s the last time. Promise.) Snag one & strap in while you still can!
New Meadowlands Stadium Sale
On 26, Nov 2010 | No Comments | In Events, News, Promotions, Updates | By Lisa
It’s official! This past weekend we announced our 2010 New Meadowlands Stadium Sale, a continuation of our annual Giants Stadium event but this time with some brand-new elements.
In addition to our new location, we’re also excited to bring in a wider variety of brands, hold a new series of Super Clinics, and have a greater presence from our mountains. Skiers and riders in search of new set-ups will have tons of product to choose from and also walk away with a free lift ticket to Mountain Creek.
Stadium Busters boast discounts of up to 80% off equipment, outerwear, and apparel…this is definitely the place to stock up. Our selection of over 60 brands include Burton, Ride, K2, Salomon, Forum, Lib Tech, 4FRNT, The North Face, Elan, Dalbello, Nordica and Dakine so there’ll be something for any skier or boarder on your list.
This year, plan on adding discounted passes and lift tickets to your list, too– resorts like Mountain Creek, Windham, Killington, Hunter, Tuxedo Ridge, Hidden Valley, Shawnee, Elk Mountain, and Stowe will be there offering exclusive deals. Also, enter to win vacations from Jackson Hole, Mammoth Mountain, Telluride, and Squaw Valley.
We’ll be hosting our event inside the 44,000 sq. ft. GridIron Club, the sleek, VIP section located in the west section of the stadium. Don’t worry about getting on the list though, the public’s allowed admission free of charge. The New Meadowlands has a pretty impressive resume, serving as a great setting for our sale. 
Out of every stadium in the US, it’s got the most HD screens, is 3rd largest, one of the most environmentally-friendly, (and also most expensive…) so naturally, we’re looking forward to invading .
Sale begins Wednesday Dec 8th and runs through Saturday Dec 11th…only 2 weeks away so send Santa that wishlist asap! Check out our event website for more information on location, schedule, and other sale details. For all the latest updates, you can also follow Mount Everest on Twitter.

“Get Out of my HOUSEEEEE!”
On 25, Oct 2010 | No Comments | In Updates | By Lisa
If you’re not a wuss like me and saw Paranormal Activity 2 over the weekend, you probably haven’t slept since….not because you were scared sh*tless, but because you can’t stop thinking about the amazing sunglasses “Ali” was wearing in the beginning of the movie;
Well now you can rest easy…those are none other than the Ashbury Daytrippers! (As you can see by Ali’s lime green nails, she’s pretty hip. Perhaps she heads over to Mountain High when she doesn’t feel like being terrorized by a house full of baby-snatching demons?)
EV’s got the Daytripper in White, Black, and Lizard King’s model (green, like Ali’s manicure) along with the Psychedelic Lollipop, Crenshaw, and some of their 2011 goggles. Snag some before the rest of Hollywood catches on!
Mellow Monday
On 22, Oct 2010 | No Comments | In Updates | By Lisa
Between the snow in Killington, the Broadway Bomb, and the F’ It premiere in SoHo this past weekend has been pretty crazy. This nice, mellow track from La Sera should help aid in your recovery (without putting you to sleep at your desk)…
Never Come Around – La Sera
La Sera is the solo project of Katy Goodman, and is signed to indie label Hardly Art. The track you just heard, along with a second song “Behind Your Eyes” will be available on 7″ on November 16.
Happy listening!
