Fight for Air
July 28th, 2010Get Your Ink in Ink! We want your ski or snowboard tattoo in our magazine. Upload photos now and share some skin!
June 24th, 2010It’s time for your tattoo to get its 15 minutes of fame.
Do you have Tweety Bird doing a daffy off a mogul on your butt cheek? A delicate snowflake on your ankle? Shaun White’s portrait on your bicep (Umm, that’s weird, but okay.)?
If you have a ski or snowboard-related tattoo that proclaims your passion for all things winter in Vermont, we wanna see. Simply click the ADD PHOTO link below and upload your ink. If we like it, we’ll include it in a special “Love Winter. Love Vermont” photo essay in this winter’s issue of Ski Vermont magazine. We’ve also got some sweet winter-leftover prizes kickin’ around in our swag closet, so we’ll toss those to a few randomly selected submissions as well. Finally, that “Save Magic Mountain!” tattoo across your chest may make you famous. Mom will be proud.
When you upload the photo you’ll see a “caption” box — include your first name, age, where you’re from, and a brief story behind the tat. Then, if you want to be considered for publication in the magazine, Leave a Reply at the bottom of this post with your full name, an email address (will not be published) and your favorite Vermont mountain.
That’s it. Now show us your tats (and feel free to rate the submissions in the gallery below).
Torstein… you little so-and-so. A Triple?!
June 7th, 2010Put down the PBR, get off your skateboard, or otherwise refrain from you current summertime activity.
We have a very important and urgent snowboarding update to relay to you…
TRIPLE CORRRRRRRK!

Andrew wins the Rad Plaid Superbad Burton Custom
April 12th, 2010We had a blast reading through all the submissions in the Burton/Cabot Board contest. With lines like “The weather in Vermont/ Would even impress your aunt” and “No more joeys on the hill is key/ Spring riding in Vermont is the place to be” and “After riding for hours on my Burton/ My black and blue bottom was a-hurtin“, you guys and gals kept us entertained all day here in the office.
But alas, there can only be one winner of this extremely limited, hunter’s plaid Burton Custom snowboard. In the end, it was Andrew Ensminger who impressed us the most with his poem turned video. Congratulations, Andrew. Rad video. You are the proud new owner of the Rad Plaid Superbad Not-for-your-Dad Burton Custom.
Watch Andrew’s video below.
We know that all of you put a ton of effort into your poems and our beanies are off to you. You kick so much butt and you are an inspiration to us as we sit in front of computer monitors every day, trying to figure out how to tell the story of Vermont snowboarding. Turns out, you do a darn fine job yourselves. Thanks.
Big ups to Burton Snowboards, Cabot Creamery and pathtovermont.com for supplying the shred, the chedd and the online cred.

Sifting through Stanzas.
April 10th, 201030 submissions in the Burton/Cabot board contest. You guys are awesome.
Thanks everyone for your submissions. We’re currently sifting through the rhymes, stanzas and cheese-bombs to figure out which poem is the victor. Check back on Monday when we’re back in the office to make our final decision.
In the meantime, read through the poems at your leisure. There’s some real gems in there.
