 Giro Snow Helmets for Women 2014
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.
Filmed at the EWSRA/NEWSR On Snow Demo at Stratton Mountain, VT Feb. 7, 2013.

 Riglet Park Snowboard Lessons for Kids at Mount Snow - February 2013
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.
