Week end Andorra Luc et Katty 08 09 feb 09
This week end , Luc and Katty came over from France and It was epic ! Caravaning, snowboarding and Raclette Pรขrty ! What a mix
Friday evening Pizza session , Saturday we were at Andorra . After going to the snowboard rental shop ( and meet a colleague of mine) we headed off to Arinsal Vall nord, the road was sligthly slippery as the condition were very bad (wind , snow, white day, freezing cold and a bit of sunshine : 2 minutes !) but it did not stop us to have fun. For katty It was the first time on the slope with a snowboard ! She did really well ! ( as she had 3 teachers to show her ). It was so windy that only the slope for kids was open . Alicia and I did some run in the misty slope , we were seriously in need of a radar ! Luc and I went for a ride while the girls were having a coffee. It was so windy that the lift stopped at 2m from the arrival point . Stuck ther for 10 minutes ! cold wind and snow storm! Oh yes ! Anyway we finally went down the slope safely ( avoiding lost wandering skiers) and managed to find our way back to the coffee shop. 5pm Time to go back to the camping . We stopped by to do dome shopping . Shower , rest and Apero time ! A big Raclette ( 1kg of cheese) and then Uno game ! Pretty tired , my eyes were closing to easily !
Sunday Mornin breakfast Brioche and Jam ! We wisely decided to back the Seat ( as we thought we might find some snow on the road and had to put the chains on the tyres) and we did . Willing to go to Arcalis, we were deviated to Pal as the station was closed ( to much wind I guess). We stopped to place the chains and climb the slippery road . Pal resort is embedded in the forest and has the advantage to be protected from the wind . And Luckily the sun was there shining and powerfull! The morning session was a bit tidious ( I guess the cheese was not going down properly) . too many people on the slope, after a nice lunch , we spent the afternoon cruising on the slope and did a super powder session between the pine tree forest.Back to caravane for a light diner and ten back home ! full of excelent souvenir ! that was a pure snowboard week end shared with friend , totally delighted

TOSSA PLANA DE LLES adventures
From the 27th of december 2008 to 29th december 2008
We went to La Tossa Plana de Lles ( or Pic de la Portelleta) for a trekking and freeriding session with couple of friends. This little mountain which summit is located at 2916m above the sea level ( the second hightest in Cerdanya) is easy to access by car, although the road was not recognized by our GPS.
After leaving Murcia at 9 am and stopping by the lovely town of ALTEA , we reached our destination (the camping) at around 6pm . Time to fill up the car with our stuff (board, bags, helmet, food, sleeping bags, etc), we drove toward the refuge of Cap de Rec ( right on the GR11 pathway) where we would spend 2 nighst.
First, we met our friend at a near-by camping, in a chalet taht they have constructed themselves, and then we headed of to the refuge where a nice hot meal was waiting for us. We finished our dinner with a UNO card game and went off to bed to recharge the batteries.
28th of December 08:
AFter a big breakfast, we were getting ready to climb the 1000m slope. What an adventure !
Bag, helmet, board , talkie walkie etc ! we are fully prepared !!
The first 2H , we have been cruising through the forest and its pine trees. The mist bring an awkward sensation , a bit like in the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT movie (where is the map...?)
we finally passed the forest and arrive to a small refuge which is built just in front the hill .
It was the beginning of a long journey, full of mist , a tiny bit of wind and chilling cold. After a 6H walk we manage to climb and reach the summit. The sky opened up and a breathtaking scenary is exposing his beautifull mountains to us . The landscape is amazing.
After a well-deserved break ( eating some food and re-hydrating ) we are trying to go down on our snowboard, however, there are a lot of rock and the mist is so thick that we cannot see our feet.
Wisely, we decided to go back down the slope walking with our raquettes. After 15 minutes walking, my muscles were starting feel achy and hurting very badly: horrible cramps nailed me down on my knees. Impossible to move ! need to rest , eat a banana and drink isostar ! 30 min rest and we are again on our way back as it is getting very late and the mist is really getting creepy ! We got almost lost but thank to our friend Pau ( and his excelent notion of orientation, his GPS and compass) we are back on track and in the right direction back home .
6pm , it is getting darker and darker but we managed to arrive safely at the refuge ! we were exhauted but so much happy of our journey!shame we could not ride la Tossa plana but we´ll go back for sure.
Apero time, it is funny how a beer always taste better after a long trek ! shower time and then dinner , few glass of wine , a party of UNO and sleeping time !
29th december 2008: weather is bad , really bad, snowing misty , name it have it ! we decided not to carry our adventure and return to our caravane . We have to place the chain on to the tyres car . The road is really slippery ! and our way down back to the camping is a bit folklo!

playground snow apparel
http://www.playgroundsnow.com/productseng.htm
PlayGround has been building rails and boxes for skiers and snowboarders since 2000. We are the first company doing this in Spain and we are proud of having many years of experience to offer a first quality product with our well known service.
We started building the boxes and rails we couldn’t find at our home ski resorts to keep ourselves progressing in this growing current inherited from skateboarding called jibbing. At this moment jibbing is an important part of skiing and snowboarding and PlayGround has evolved with it.
All at PlayGround are users of our own products so we can develop them directly. This way we get a funtional, dynamic, safe and high quality product.
We've classified our products in three different categories. Click on each one to see it in detail:
SECURITY
Since day one our products are designed with the security as one of our top priorities. We have studied the advantages and inconveniences of any kind of finish to finally build real quality products with a high standard in security.
All the ends of our rails and boxes are rounded, with no bolts or any sharp part to highly reduce the risk of injuries for users. We cover all sides of the modules with high quality wood to cover any sharp part of the structure and the result is a compact and safe module.
All this features have been proven by the entire PlayGround crew but is the satisfaction of all our costumers our biggest warranty.
BOND outerwear
Bond finds its inspiration in many places. Finding just as much fun on a random trail curb cut, a cat trip, or even the ride to the mountain, we use all of these influences and experiences to help make the most inspired, innovative and unique outerwear possible.
Bond utilizes a top down sustainability model in its operations, and is a carbon neutral company. From the loom to your room, Bond looks to be a new model of sustainability for the snowboard industry. You know, no pressure.
Snowboard outerwear and apparel. Everything you want and nothing you don't. Because why would you want something you don't want. You know? Yeah, you know.

FORFAIT 2x1
First week end in Andorra: 13-14th december 2008
Yes indeed !
our first real adventure in Andora ( not taking in account the 1st time we went there , 2 weeks ago , when we had so much trouble with our car and the snow that I will not relate here our shameless story)
Alicia and I left on Saturday morning very early before the sun rise and the Panaderia (Bread shop) open ! Time to load the Seat with our bags and we are on the road to Andorra , taking directly the motorway . We reach the Tunel de Cadi at 10.00 am or so and we manage to hit our destibation at 11. We arrived safely at Vallnord ski station ,although there is in fact 3 different ski station : Pal, Arinsal et Arcalis . Not all of them are connected , but it is great to be able to ride in 3 stations with 1 pass !
http://en.vallnord.com/index.asp
We are so so happy to be there, the weather conditon are good ( no white day for the mountain) it is a bit windy and coldish but we are so delighted to be there that we do not really care. Arcalis is a very interesting station as there is everything close to our hand , a descent snowpark with several module and kickers and also an enormous slope of freeride ! This is absolty great . and there is not a lot of people. no time wasted in the lift queue , we can enjoy fully day. It is time for lunch and we deserve a full sandwich for smoked ham and chips ! joy and pleasure !
we are stcoked to be there . After this excelent lunch , we hit back the slope. The wind is freezing and make the snow harder to ride . I hit the small kicker of the snowpark , reception a bit sketchy but ok. Last run together with Alicia , it is 4.30 and we decide to go back to Andorra la Vella city to do some window shopping ( and also find an helmet for me). This city is amazing , it is a mix between Monaco and Neuchatel ( in Swizterland ) If you love Xmas decoration and big shops than go there ! We visited KillVill , a well built snowboard shop, whe you can find all the Burton collection amd more such as The Signal Park 152 (I love this board), we did sevral shop. We found that for electonic and alcohool/cigarett it is seriously cheaper but for the rest , nothing to be crazy about, the price are similar than any good surf shop in BCN. It is 6.00 pm and time to dirve down to our Camping we have rented a caravan for 30 euro ! Yes 15 euro each , and it is great! After having a coffe with a friend of us , we have apero and then a 2 meal dish , hot , fatty but so good ! Pyrennees gastronomy is so yummy . A bottle of wine later and few phone call to find out that Alicia and I are Uncle and Antie, it is time to go to bed although we wnated to watch Barca Madrid football match ( but the TV receptor was not working properly). After a good night rest for me and a hard waking up session for Alicia (morning sickness due to indigestion, she will remember it) I look at out if the windiw it has been dumping big time ! 15cm of fresh snow in the Frontera camping. So we imagined the same on the slopes. And Yes , it is snowing , white day bt the snow condition are excelent . Alicia and I decide to do a little run off-piste in 20cm of fresh ! what a feeling , pure sensation !
Then it is time to head off Barcelona , and we arrived home 3 H later
A superb week end !

NoBoard phenomena
“The story goes that in the beginning the snow was so deep we couldn’t even find our biding straps, so Geets (Greg Todds) decided to get rid of them. That was 1998 and we haven’t used bindings since. The first prototypes were garage pours from homemade molds. Though some were better than others, we quickly realised we were onto something. From the beginning we knew that we wanted to spread the love of noboarding. A few years later we decided to make it happen and started NoBoard Sport Inc.”
Cholo Burns
Snowboarding with no bindings ! back to the pure roots sensation. A must to try for the freeriders who want to have the surf feeling while riding powder
CHOSEN Snowboard and skateboard gear
"Many be called, but few CHOSEN" is what Jesus Christ said once ... He was talking about a massive wedding of the son of the king where many were invited but didn´t show up. They were CHOSEN but missed the party because those fella´s were too busy with worldly things...
As riders, we don´t care about worldly things. We dream, we believe, we do not focus on money making, on finding the right job or starting a nice family. We explore secret surf spots, we sleep in cars and on hard floors, we are first for fresh powder, we always grab whatever board although our body is wrecked up, we sail in waves we´ve never been in before, we face storms, reefs, extreme cold, pizza tiredness and nights without sleep,รข€¦ We fight the fears, we design, we break, we create, we still believe that this whole world needs to be ridden. We choose to live PURE and push for an ABUNDANT life.
Every single person involved in CHOSEN is extremely involved in riding. CHOSEN was born out of passion. Passion for riding, passion for life, passion for design, creativity, progress and the One Who installed it all. The desire to share these passions is what drives us day by day and logically resulted in a company as CHOSEN...
The king in Jesus´ story represents a God Who offers us an abundant life. The good and the bad were invited to the wedding. We, CHOSEN ones have chosen to go, to enjoy the party and to live our lives to the fullest together with our Creator. Enjoy the party, expect more, make your choice. http://www.chosengoods.com/

LMA snowboard outerwear
a nice concept and a cool design
LMA was founded in 2002. It is the first Russian brand of hi-thech outerwear for snowboard and new school skiing made especially for advanced and expert riders and professional riders alike. We believe that the main point in brands' development and gaining respect is introducing your own style and ideology.
Our ideology has been formed within 4 seasons of work. And that is it. While snowboard and new school outerwear brands go more and more into fashion, our style is more focused on development and improvement of patterns, features and in search of proper fabrics. Within this period we have formed LMA own style that is obvious even to the most exigent riders at the moment. We think so. We develop LMA brand within our own rules, in our own directions. We do not want to rush after others. We try to develop and move our own ideas.
While these 4 seasons we have produced 5 collections of outerwear (including 06-07 collection). We make
a lot of changes and improve our garments year after year. Each year we have more garments, minimum 2 times bigger. The variety of items also increases. 04-05 collection was well sold and the profit increased 2,5 times in comparison with the previous season. After that LMA occupied its position in the top 5 of the brands sold on the Russian snowboarding stuff market.
2004-2005 collection was well sold in Russia. And not only in huge cities, but in many far distant regions as well.
At the present moment you can find LMA garments in the following countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, England, Spain, Germany, Austria, South Korea, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. LMA brand takes part in ISPO Munich (the biggest trade show in Europe) since 2004 and in the biggest Russian Trade Show "Ertzog" since 2003. We plan to continue this tradition and participate in other interesting events.
While working on our 06-07 collection we intended to show everybody that the clothes designed in Russia is worth your attention and is quite competitive on the international market today. We want to show you that freedom, style and original designs within our garments are not just simple words. All these things are invested into our production - and you can see the results with your own eyes.
You think the way we do? Your life principles are the same? Welcome to LMA world. It's not so big, but LMA has become more then just a brand. It is attitude to life. Philosophy, that is actual at this very moment and is not coordinated with strict rules. We create it and live with it.
