Stick It To The MTA: Sign The Petition To Stop Fare Hikes

The MTA has been defiling New Yorkers of their hard-earned money for years. Not all of them, but a lot of the people who work for the MTA, are lazy, apathetic, amoral slobs who deserve to be fired.
Sign this electronic petition to stop the impending obscene fare hikes! Don’t let them punish us, the paying [...]

Light The Wick, New One From Teton Gravity Research

Teton Gravity consistently puts out some of the best ski movies every year. They’ve arguably got the roster with the biggest names and they go to some very cool, gnarly locations to shoot. Granted, last year’s Re:Session, in addition to trying to use a ridiculous metaphor/analogy for the financial meltdown of ‘08-’09, was not their [...]

Is Spin Quitting On The Magazine to Focus on Spin.com?

Spin magazine has gone full bore into the shitter. The print version has anyway. I didn’t need any more than one issue of their updated layout that came out this summer to know I didn’t want any part of it any longer. It read more like a freebee you’d find at Urban Outfitters than a [...]

We’re Going to Have El Nino Winter Comparable to 1992-1993

I couldn’t think of anything particularly compelling to write this afternoon but I didn’t want that to stop me from putting finger to key. Unfortunately, according to Google Analytics, my readership has steadily fallen off as my posting has grown more erratic. Part of this could be ascribed to skiing becoming the topic about which [...]
