It is "Rerun Week" in the video blogging community, so here is a video from our first "Meet The Vloggers" event here in Seattle at the University Village Apple Store. Original release on August 6th, 2005... ah, the early days....

It's day 4 of the 6th annual Bandwidth.com ski trip and four of us (Dave, Henry, Joe, and Dan) make a second attempt to go heli skiing. The first attempt got cancelled because of...
It's always a perfect scenario when a night's storm gives way to a powder filled, bluebird morning. We decided to return to the peak of Whistler Mountain to seek out our share of the untouched. Our search led us to an off trail gulley wh...
This video contains footage from our second and third days in Whistler. There were a few inches of new snow each day, but visibility was generally poor across both mountains. The first day we took laps in Blackcomb?s two terrain parks. ...
Each year, our friend Rob from Chicago dusts off his skis and heads west to join us for a week of debauchery in Whistler, British Columbia. This video contains a drunken reflection of the week, but stay tuned for more videos from on the s...
After receiving 14.5 feet of snow in the month of January, the weather in the Cascade Mountains switched to wind and rain - causing us to miss the Baker Banked Slalom this year. Instead, we had high hopes of returning to Crystal Mountain'...
Aspen may be a haven for the rich and famous, but the week of the X Games brings in a whole new crowd. After driving from Denver, we headed straight to Snowmass for some fun in the sun. There was a full supply of PBR to keep the party al...
SIA (Snowsports Industries America) is the largest trade show for the snow sports industry. Each year manufacturers, distributors, buyers, sales representatives, press/media, industry professionals and athletes convene in Las Vegas to pre...
A trip to Denver to visit family always includes a day at Vail. Once you get there, and swallowed the $82 lift fare, you're free to track up the 5289 available acres. On this day, the Sun was generous and it basked the back bowels with i...
We apologize for the delay in video releases, but Mother Nature has been pounding the Cascade Mountains with wind and rain for weeks. The good news is that the wait is over and we were rewarded with an epic powder day. With over 2 feet o...
Home to the world's first chairlift, Sun Valley is better known for its glitz than its groomers. We flew into town for meetings and the Scott USA holiday party, but made time to ride the mountain. They had a big snowfall the prior week, a...
What could be better than a Friday powder day at Baker? With no crowd, eight inches of new snow and a base of over ninety inches up on Pan Dome, we were prepared to go wild. Most of our crew has good riding skills for the steep and deep,...
Thanksgiving Day marked the 40th anniversary for Whistler Mountain and to celebrate they had a retro theme. Fortunately, Blackcomb Mountain was empty since it had been open for three weeks. There was not as much terrain open as we would h...
Whistler is a five-hour drive from Seattle, seven and a half hours from Portland and an hour and a half north of Vancouver, British Columbia. Accessible via the Sea-To-Sky Highway, the road is undergoing massive improvements in preparatio...
The early snowfall that jump started the Northwest season has since subsided. Our outing at Stevens last weekend marked a week and a half of no snow, but the few runs that were open were still in good shape. In an attempt to shortcut acr...
Starting the season with six and a half feet of snow, Mt. Baker has the biggest base in North America. Sure it has a park off Chair-8, but why bother when you have 18 inches of new and the entire resort is a natural terrain park. This pla...
As season pass holders, we had to make the trip up to Stevens Pass for opening day even though they only opened two lifts (Hogsback and Skyline). Actually three lifts were running, but the Daisy chair doesn't count. It seems odd that Ste...
Marking the earliest in over a decade, Crystal Mountain fired up the lifts on November 4th to open the 2005-06 ski and snowboard season in the Pacific Northwest. Over three feet of new snow had fallen in the past weekend and before we kne...
With over 5,000 rideable acres, Vail offers something for everyone. The 2004-05 season was horrible for the Pacific Northwest, but we arrived in Colorado a few days after a big snow dump and were greeted with warm sunshine in Vail. After...
This video was shot January 2005 and represents part 1 of a 2-part video series. It is also the first video from our new ski and snowboard vlog called Ridertech.com. After arriving in Denver, Wyatt stops by with the Coleman Classic and o...
On the shores of Puget Sound in Shoreline, Washington sits Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. While most visitors just sit in their car and enjoy the scenery from the hillside parking lot, the beach below offers much better views of Magnolia ...
Before Thanh (center) left the mainland and headed out for Honolulu, Hawaii, friends gathered for a going away bash at the Ballroon in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. This clip features the video captured as the camera made its way a...
Google Earth sets the stage for this trip on the Mukliteo/Clinton ferry. The boat moves at a leisurely pace, so putting goggles on the animals is probably not necessary. The pricey, twenty-minute crossing provides a shortcut off the sout...
Mountain biking is very popular here in Washington, although we're out of shape and tend to prefer going downhill. Located just minutes outside Seattle there is a small network of trails in and around Saint Edward State Park. The single tr...
Meet our local garden spiders. Actually this footage is not in a garden but rather an office window. Each day spiders loom over the computer, and it has become quite fascinating. This year there have been more spiders than usual in Seattl...
