From the makers of the well-loved Rime Knits beanies come the Rime Knits facemask. Constructed out of a microfiber polyester, these facemasks are super breathable and won’t fog up your goggles. With a simple construction you can choose between a single layer for warmer days and fleece-lined for when you need it most.

Keeping with the Rime Knits carbon-neutral tradition, a tree is planted with each piece sold. Support the cause and keep your face happy!

Early January took the Bomb Snow crew to interior BC on a Mission to seek out and slay the best Poutine around. Instead they found powder, spines, and the best tree skiing around. Revelstoke, Rogers pass, Salmo pass, and Fernie were plundered by all. They rolled into nearly 50in at Fernie, and will probably sleep in until it snows more than a foot overnight….We are planning another trip to Interior BC mid February and will have more edits and photos to share with all in the near future. For now, follow the powder! – Peace and Poutine.- Bomb Snow.

Getting stoked above the clouds. Revelstoke Mountain, BC.

Achieving White Room status. Fernie, BC.

Spend any length of time north of the border and you will begin to appreciate the simple things. Alright these things aren’t just simple they are necessities. I’m talking about gas, beer and food. So after two weeks in Revelstoke, BC we jumped the border to Whitefish and restocked on said supplies. Missing out on only one day of poutine, we drove the hour and a half to Fernie which was calling for a massive storm to hit. Sure enough 44 inches fell in 48 hours and the saying free refills took on new meaning. Fernie’s five legendary bowls were just that, “Legendary”. Staying on the hill at the Wolf’s Den allowed for us to explore the village and do some night slaying. All in all Fernie did not disappoint and I can’t wait to get back.  -KT

White Ghosts above the clouds.

-- ParkerT –

This winter’s drought in Bozeman was beginning to drive us crazy. Word of an epic dump lined up to hit Lost Trail caused us to quickly pack our ski bags and hit the road. Our anger and depression towards this years weak snowfall quickly vanished once we pulled into the parking lot, loaded with feet of fresh. Starved for some face shots, 56 inches of pow in 72 hours was exactly what the Bomb Snow crew needed to lift their spirits. Lost Trail POWDER Mountain + 4.5 feet of new snow= some serious sending! 1/19 -1/20

The eight minute track is called “Weightless” and logged over 60,000 downloads in the first day and a half it was posted for free download.  According to scientists at the Mindlab institution (a commercial ‘neuromarketing’ company) it induced a 65 per cent reduction in overall anxiety and brought test subjects resting pulse rates to a level 35 per cent lower than their usual resting rates. The song features guitar, piano and manipulated field recordings and is punctuated throughout by low tones that supposedly induce a trance-like state.

Go ahead and throw out your home recordings of babbling brooks and falling rain.  Give your secret Enya collection to the crazy lady that lives next door.  Relax and enter the comforting, warm fold of the future.

They might just be a collection of white dudes from NYC who can’t help but play nonstop dance-punk, but they are true masters of their craft.  Groundbreaking radio station KEXP brought them in for an intimate in-studio show and caught it on tape.  Don’t worry if you haven’t checked these guys out yet – this video will catapult you in the right direction. – ParkerT

Early life

Jenkees grew up in Kentucky, where he first began playing music at the age of 4. He started when he received a toy keyboard as a Christmas gift. With it, he learned simple melodies and played with friends. While still at a young age, he received a Yamaha PSR-500. He attempted piano lessons in the seventh grade, but these were unsuccessful. Jenkees discovered how to sequence and layer music using his Yamaha keyboard, and began playing hip hop music. He joined a marching band in high school, and despite being unable to read sheet music, the band director let Jenkees create his own keyboard parts and “jam out” in state competitions. The band director encouraged Jenkees to learn to read music, but he continued to play by ear.

Musical career

Jenkees was introduced to FL Studio by a friend. From about 2003, he began releasing beats and raps online under the name “Big Cheez”. Under this name, he produced the 2005 album Straight Laced by Fish. In 2006, Jenkees started posting videos on YouTube to entertain people, but he later began posting music-related videos. These videos usually feature him wearing a hat and greeting his viewers by saying, “Hello Youtubes!”. Jenkees feels that the “goofiness” he shows helps him to “not feel like such a show-off”. His videos gradually gained popularity, and saw a boom in popularity when Bill Simmonsfrom ESPN.com advertised Jenkees and asked him to record his podcast theme, and again after being “thumbed up” by members of the StumbleUpon community. In 2007, Jenkees independently released his first studio album, Ronald Jenkees. In June 2009, Jenkees was featured on the STS9 album, Peaceblaster: The New Orleans Make It Right Remixes, producing a remix of “Beyond Right Now”. On July 31, 2009, Jenkees announced (via his Twitter feed) that he had released his second album, Disorganized Fun. Both are currently available for purchase from either the iTunes Store or his personal website on physical compact discs or as direct MP3 downloads.
