EASTERN BOARDERS - LAST CALL

One more in the books for Eastern Boarder's Last Call at Loon Mountain, NH!
This gala event took place on Weds March 26 which started off under a brief NH cloud shroud, but eventually opened up to sunny skies after the contest had finished. Typical New England weather! Anyway, the contest welcomed 80 participants from all over the nation. It was great to see familiar new england boys all making it home to battle it out for the cash! Props to be given out to the Loon Mountain Park Crew and Eastern Boarder for contsructing, what I believe to be, some of the most unbelieveable obstacles I have seen the guys make for this contest. Fukn massive effort! But once again, Loon pulled it off without a hitch! The constructed Hip is one of the biggest I have seen on the East Coast in quite some time! Plenty of beverages were consumed making it for once again a very fun time! I actually ahve no idea who won, I was having too much fun taking some turns, so check the EB sites out for that info. Thanks again to Eastern Boarder and everyone who made it out: Pat Bridges, John Cavan, Jordan Mendenhall, Bode Merril, Austin Granger, Shaun Murphy, Mark Wakeling, Nelson "the voice" Wormstead, Chris Carr, Big Mike, Chrissy Carelli, Justin Kneiston, Andre Beriau, Mr and Mrs Guldemund, Lex, Herb, Bub, Tabor, Logan, Beresford, Stefany, Gimped Teddy, Mulchy, Shaun and Mark, Koval, Matty Fitz, Loveley Lisa, Brandon H, Chris Copeley, Natalie, Hud-rock, Bohar, NORTON and Crew, Rob and Andrew from Ride, Akey and co. from Mervin, Piatek, Jason and Nugget and of course Pabst, Sorry if I missed anyone, Its always a good time with friends when beers are in hand and boards are strapped on!

Many outstanding costumes and riding going on throughout the day by everyone! Jesus and Satan (Carr and Big Mike) representing Eastern Boarder came out once again on top. The infamous trophy goes home with Eastern Boarder until next season. Thanks to everyone for coming out. Thanks to Avert Guldemund for scaring the shit out of us all. I hate clowns. Justin Kneiston didnt get the memo, you were suppose to come in costume, not be yourself. Thanks to Andre Beriau for looking extra "hip". Thanks to Shaun Murphy for killing it once again.

BALDFACE PROGRAM TRIP

Well, we here at White Flag were lucky enough to travel with the inhouse crew and some key national accounts to the Baldface lodge which is located high up in the Selkirk Mountains of Nelson , British Columbia. The lodge is ranked amongst the best riding places on earth for terrain and snow conditions, and now based on a personal experience, I would have to agree 200%. We arrived in the small sleepy town of Nelson, BC and stayed the night there the night prior and in the next morning then caught the helicopter to the lodge, we experience the majestic environment down by the river. It was an epic day. There was not much for snow depth in Nelson, but dont let that mislead you. Up at the lodge there was plenty of fresh untracked steep snow. We caught the helicopter in the afternoon. We happened to find out that the Volcom pro team had been filming the week stay before our arrival and we happened to catch the "Guch" Bjorn and Huot coming off the chopper as we rolled on in. Flying up is quite the experience and when we caught sight of the Lodge nestled up in the mountains, we knew we were in for a once in a lifetime adventure. We got off the chopper and proceeded into the main lodge, catching a glimpse of the cross on the ridge above that is dedicated to one of the best snowboarders of all time, Craig Kelly. The next morning we awoke to quite a vista from our chalet. We then proceeded to breakfast and avalance transeiver training, which proved quite vital to a few of our crew. The 3rd day a few of the crew ran into a small category avalanche. They all rode it out and were safe, but enough to rattle the nerves for sure. Our guides Brad and Carla were on point gettting our snow cat #2 to the best snow and terrain of the week. Thanks so much guys! Sorry about us 8 getting lost for about 20 mins. The week went by way too quick, wish I was still there, but we will always have photos of the one of the best operations on earth...Baldface. Enjoy the pics and peep their site. It is trully an amazing destination! Thanks to Eastern Boarder and Darkside for the long time suport! Thanks again to The Program for the opportunity to go! Thanks all t the crew involved with Baldface for everything! we will be back!
