It must have been a busy week in Portland as both Bonfire and Holden have launched their new websites. Loaded with rich content and video both sites are more of an experience than just a website.

Holden features cute little videos of their staff doing things like dorking around on a snowboard indoors or knitting. They also have brilliantly integrated videos of all their product being model. So you can really see how it looks on person!

Dear Gear Geek,

I am wondering what board I should get for the upcoming season. Last season I rode the Roxy Ollie Pop 148 and I liked it very much. Sadly, an insert broke and I couldn't get a replacement board since it was already the end of the season.

I have been snowboarding for 15 years, I'm 168 cm tall and weigh 60 kilograms. I am looking for a board that can handle a lot of flatland tricks, a bit of park and also powder. I like to go fast and still feel in control. I love to play around.

It's seems like it's been so long since we've heard from Jesse Csincsak! Last we reported he and Bachelorette Deanna Pappas had called off their engagement.  We've learned that Jesse and Bachelor contestant Ann Lueders got married in Vegas yesterday AND that they are expecting their first child.

People has the scoop.

Sarah Laird from South America Snow Sessions brings us another report from Bariloche, Argentina.

As I looked out the window and I saw snowflakes the size of alfajores I began to remember that it really is winter.  Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’m skipping the dreaded heat of summer and living in winter year round.

It was Sunday night and the next storm had arrived.  The mood at dinner was a little bittersweet as the second session was wrapping up and many clients stared out the window with mixed emotions.  All were stoked to see the snowfall but sad that once again the end of SASS had come too quickly.  But at least we got to say goodbye with another fat powder storm.

It's  Thursday and that means its time for Twitter Thursday! The pros all seem to be traveling again. Some are traveling for some southern hemisphere shred time while others are heading home or to other fun sounding places. I am jealous of it all, although my first choice woule be the shredding!
