Read the article"You Don't Have to Hurt Yourself to Snowboard" by Lauren Traub Teton, found on over 100 websites online.

High Cascade Snowboard Camp of Mount Hood, Oregon, came to Mountain Creek, in Vernon, NJ for 2 weekends in late winter 2013. Coaches and snowboarders, kids and adults upped their game in the dedicated private snowboard terrain park at South Peak. Jumps, boxes and rails as well as flatland tricks like the tripod and butters were the curriculum and everyone progressed, to their delight.

In this video we follow the 3 adult snowboard campers, Mark Scofield, Ralph Rosado, and Mark Bellncula, with their coach (and Burton rep) "Matty B" Bothfeld.
Adults were offered separate entertainment from the kids, including BBQ dinner at the Kink, after-camp get-together at Schuss in the Red Tail Lodge and access to the breathtaking Spa at Minerals Resort.

We found that our favorite Giro helmet for snowboarding that we've been wearing for 10 years has passed its virtual expiration date, and needs replacing. Happily, many forward- thinking improvements have been made, and here, Kerry O'Flaherty, the NY Rep for Giro shows us the Sheer and Lure helmets. Finger slide air vents, plush lining, hairstyle micro-adjuster,and removable ear pads for warmth and protection are some of the modern new features.
We show a cool new Giro spherical lens by Carl Zeiss too.

Riglet Park is Burton's new concept for teaching snowboarding to kids ages three to six. What's a "Riglet?" you may ask. It's a retractable reel that attaches to specially designed boards so that the rider can be pulled by the teacher. The boards are short, soft, and convex with raised edges and the idea is to start young kids off having fun from the first day, and learning snowboard basic skills in a tiny terrain park with a mini-pipe, sunken box, and limbo bar, at Moujnt Snow

Mount Snow Riglet Park Director Brennan Cofiell (who also has a law degree!) gives us a tour of the new Burton Riglet Park snowboard teaching area in February, 2013, and then we watch some Riglets in action.

Super nice guy Nick Goepper explains his winning runs that brought him the gold in X Games 2013 Ski Slopestyle, as we interview him at Mount Snow, VT, along with Carinthia Park Manager Day Franzen. Mount Snow was the site of Goepper's first contest win, back when he was 14 years old.

ESPN reported: "Goepper's technical mastery was evident at all points through his run. His rail sections were clean and varied, and he spun all four ways -- forward and switch, right and left -- on his jumps: double cork 1080, rightside double cork 1260 tail, switch left double cork 1080 Japan, switch double misty 1260."
So that's what you call them!
