Krista’s Park
I didn’t know what to expect when I was asked to cover the opening of the very first women-only terrain park: Krista’s Park. I later began to grasp who the late Krista Moroge was and why a women’s terrain park at Brighton, the longstanding “locals” mountain, bears her name and honor. Krista was an essential and respected member of the action sports community as a businesswoman and a rep for Burton. She was also a talented athlete in a variety of activities, including skateboarding and, most prominently, snowboarding. Her passing from cancer in 2010 shook the winter sports community. … read more

Guns Blazin’ for SLUG Games: Battle at Basin Presented by...
The battleground was set this past month when the SLUG Games Battle at Basin Presented by Scion hit Snowbasin Resort. The course was a warzone, to say the least. There were a couple of unique features, including the focal point, a “tank” butter box equipped with a heavy-caliber cannon pole jam, as well as two flat boxes on the side. A mega hip with a SLUG emblem on top was directly to the right of the tank along with a fatty flatty tube and a second, steeper pole jam below. … read more

The Collective has always been a welcoming place—it’s where I got my (already 90-percent assembled) little green Kilo up and running, and she hasn’t needed much maintenance since—but walking into a room full of guys rubbing greasy elbows and talking shop can be intimidating. So, I was thrilled when I heard that the Collective had decided to make Women’s Night a weekly event and hired Meara McClenahan to head it. … read more

I’ve got to say, Bronson is seriously hitting his stride right now and his character just keeps getting better and better. Full-on freak-outs, shouting matches with pre-pubescents and the occasional self-inflicted slap on the noggin may seem like lowbrow entertainment to most, but in the eyes of this writer, it’s Shakespearean-level artistry. … read more
