Greetings From Hell!

Mama, We're All Conventioneers Now!

We've made it to Vegas folks. We survivied the Van's World Championships and now Snowboarding Online is live all week from the SIA Trade Show in Vegas, so come visit with us. We'll have special guests in the TalkBox, and everyday our super stealth reporters will be scanning the aisles looking for the most innovative new products to tell you about. Then every night we'll be hitting up snowboard parties throughout the City of Sin and telling you all what you're missing.

TALK BACK LIVE
Here's our schedule for the TalkBox from March 3-8:Special Guests 12-5 PSTRegular Hours 5-9 PST

The SIA show in Vegas is the main ski and snowboard show-off session of the year. This is when snowboard companies fly in all of their pros and product and put it all on display in cubicals throughout a massive convention hall. Not only will Snowboarding Online be giving you regular updates on what's happening at the show and the parties, but we'll also have big name pros like Michele Taggart, Jake Blattner, Jeff Brushie, Dale Rehberg, Shannon Dunn, Tina Basich, Wendy Powell, Jamie Lynn, Barrett Christy, Dave Lee, and many more throughout the week.

We won't make promises but we have high hopes of getting some of your favorite riders online, so pay attetntion to the schedule as it will be updated daily with special guests. Prime hours for guests will be noon to 5pm.

SUPER BADASS VANS WORLDS COVERAGE
So far our gambling winnings are down, especially after a week in Tahoe where we got a little caught up at the 21 tables while covering the Vans World Championships at Heavenly and Sierra-At-Tahoe. We watched Barrett Christy rock a smooth backside 360 in the Big Air contest and Terje milk the pipe like only he can to take home first place. There was GS, slalom, halfpipe, and big air winnings all week long and we were there recording it all for you so you don't even have to leave the comfortable confines of your home to know exactly what happened at the World's.

Also, while you're checking out our contest coverage on the ISF event, take a spin through the AST and FIS coverage from the last few weeks.
