After the X Games the Buttermilk pipe was a peaceful place. No screaming fans, surly entitled security guards, or parking problems. Just a perfectly groomed dream pipe.

For this week’s Free Goods Friday we are giving you the chance to win yourself a brand new Rossignol Retox Amptek board.

In the comment section below give us your story on how you would escape a bear encounter, and we will pick our favorite answer to get their paws on this new freestyle-based board. Good luck.

First Friday Freebord Giveaway http://www.snowboardermag.com/exclusives/first-friday-freebord-giveaway-3/ http://www.snowboardermag.com/exclusives/first-friday-freebord-giveaway-3/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:01:44 +0000 Drew Amer http://www.snowboardermag.com/?p=64629 Freebord changed the game when they came out with a board that lets you skate like a snowboarder all year round. ]]>

So, its not the first Friday in the month of February. It is, in fact, the second Friday of February. But, you still have a chance to win a board from Freebord, so who cares which Friday it is? See info below for your chance to win!

Whether it’s your 9-to-5 or that you live too far from the snow, most of us aren’t lucky enough to get 100 days of riding in each year. Luckily, Freebord changed the game when they came out with a board that lets you skate like a snowboarder all year round. You can bomb the steeps, carve on wide streets or strait-line the narrowest of sidewalks. Freebord lets you carve, slide, slow down and stop wherever and whenever you want. The ride boils down to the six-wheel design, which includes two low-riding center wheels that allow you to drift and spin and four edge wheels that allow you to control the slide and stop on a dime. Toss in the step-in, step-out bindings and you’ve got yourself a bomber board with max control. It’s the payoff of 15 years of progression and innovation. And to celebrate their 15th anniversary, Freebord is giving away a free board every first Friday of the month. All you have to do is fill out the form below and we’ll announce the winners on the first Friday of every month.

Dispatches: Kyle Beckmann – Boreal Boardin http://www.snowboardermag.com/exclusives/dispatches-kyle-beckmann-boreal-boardin/ http://www.snowboardermag.com/exclusives/dispatches-kyle-beckmann-boreal-boardin/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:00:57 +0000 laura austin http://www.snowboardermag.com/?p=64688 Words & Photos: Kyle Beckmann (old SNOWBOARDER Mag intern... for 2 days)

During most normal years in Tahoe, late January and early February usually means your sled is all tuned up, the backcountry is well filled in, and your probe and beacon are just about in full use. This year, however, that isn't the case at all; the backcountry is thin, really thin, and the snowpack is sketchy at best. On all corners of the lake, you have encountered almost every security guard and police officer booting you from new streets spots built last summer. So that leaves you to do what? Shred some park!!! Boreal Mountain Resort has been holding it down for everyone who isn't lucky enough to travel to places with a solid snowpack. With a park crew that is constantly changing setups, adding features and perfecting what's already in the snow, there isn't a better spot in Tahoe to be lapping. Get out there and shred, cause you never know who you will be riding the chair with on your next lap.]]>
