It's Always Snowing Somewhere


Today I downloaded from iTunes the new Burton snowboard video titled, "It's Always Snowing Somewhere." Burton snowboards is the biggest snowboard company in the world and arguably sponsor all of the best riders in the world (men, women, groms). In this year's video they travel the world in search of the best powder, half-pipes, big mountain lines, park runs and urban features. The riders in the video are Burton heavy hitters such as Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Gigi Ruf, JP Solberg, Heikki Sorsa, Nicolas Muller, Tadashi Fuse, Freddy Kalbernatten, Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, DCP, Mads Jonsson, Trevor Andrew, Keegan Valaika, Kevin Pearce, Danny Davis, Kazuhiro Kokubo, Mikkel Bang and Mike Rencz. This is arguably Burton snowboard's best video yet. Some of my favorite parts were the tree section with Keegan and Jeremey, and also the Northstar village handrail session. It's the first time anyone has attempted these rails and they were set up by the mountain for them to session. Also, I thought the music and editing flowed really well. I think this movie is one of the top five for this year. In conclusion, I would recommend this movie to all snowboarders, and would rate it 4.5 snowboards out of 5.
