What’s in a color?  If you ask our R&D team, “a lot.”  Our design geeks have been slaving away, pouring through pantone booklets, circling the globe for inspiration, and re-working their ideas until they were ready for you.  As such, we’re pretty pumped about the four new colors of the ever popular Brainsaver with Sweatsaver Liner that are being introduced as we speak.  These new colors will be ready to ship within the next couple weeks, so get em while they’re hot.  Remember, stylish brainsaving is timeless.  Also, special thanks to all our facebook friends for helping us narrow down our pallet of choices in which the 4 below emerged as victorious.  You guys rule.

Jonathan Cheever of US Snowboarding's SBX squad here in Veyzonnaz, Switzerland at the moment. A week ago, Alex Deibold, Graham Watanabe and myself flew over to Austria to get some pow riding in before our dual World Cup's in Switzerland. The rest of our team stayed behind in the States riding on ice while we were drowning in powder.

I figured I should send triple8 a quick update on what I am doing and they could share it with their fans.

Even though it is only January 16th, I feel this winter is going to fly by. Through February 29th I am only scheduled to be home for 8 days. Many of you know there isn’t a ton of snow to be had in the continental US. The north west is doing okay, AK is buried, Europe and Japan are having record breaking years… but for the rest of us. Shit.

Pray for snow…

Enjoy some of the photos from my five consecutive pow-days in Austria and wish me luck on my next few events.
