If you haven’t heard, K2 rider Nick Dirks just broke his femur during the holidays. “I ran into a boulder,” Nick said. “Focused my leg, I looked like Gumby.” He’s been laid up after two surgeries which put a dent in his pocket book (despite his insurance).
YoBeat is helping Nick out by selling some benefit shirts with artwork by Nick himself! Hope you have a speedy recovery and get well soon!

This past weekend Snoqualmie hosted one of the most excellent events to ever hit the slopes. The event was called Boxes For Days…and it was just that. It was one heck of a monstrosity! I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ll let the photos do the talking for the obstacle course. The turn out was sweet there were just under 100 competitors all fighting to slay the beast of a box. Airblaster, Snowboarder Magazine, and Think Thank supplied the prizes and the Summit park crew supplied the obstacles. And a huge thanks to Krush@Snoqualmie for putting on such an awesome event! Enjoy the photos-Tim Eddy
