SIA Day 4, Jan 30 2009
1We took the final day of SIA in Las Vegas pretty easy, wandering the show checking out booths we hadn’t met with and enjoying the last hours in Vegas. Here are a few more photos we gathered to finish off the trip. (more…)
SIA.09 – Dakine
1I always enjoy the tour through Dakine’s collection, and this year’s gear is a real treat; great colorways and some excellent refinements in their catalog. Girls will definitely love the black cheetah print available throughout the line. There are tons of little features and goodies in their packs, and I really came away impressed. (more…)
SIA Day 3, Jan 29 2009
0Day 3 at SIA.09 started off a little slow after the night of parting at the Riders’ Poll Awards and the Skullcandy concert, but that didn’t stop us from doing the rounds. Have a look at the pictures below, and then head over to the separate coverage of Dakine, Helly Hanson, Salomon & Bonfire, and the Snowboard Mag party with DJ Muggs and Redman. (more…)
SIA.09 – The Program (Forum, Special Blend, Foursquare)
0Forum, Special Blend, and Foursquare, the brands that make up The Program had a great showing at SIA. There are hints of Burton technology trickling down through The Program, but the three brands are still holding on to their very unique character and style. Forum, Special Blend, and Foursquare have bright and colorful lines that really stand out for 2010, and of course, like most board companies at SIA, Forum added reverse camber to their snowboard lineup. In addition, Forum created a jointed baseplate to go hand in hand with reverse camber, designed to allow the board to flex through the binding. Board standouts would be the Youngblood with a great new look, and I think everyone got a kick out of the Bob Ross collab. The Program has a huge line of gear, and this is only a sampling of it, but there’s definitely a lot to look forward to for 2010. (more…)
SIA.09 – DC
0After the big snowboard unveiling party last year, DC kept things pretty low key this year, but that doesn’t mean they brought a week showing to SIA. DC’s attention to style and integration between their various product lines really paid off this year with some great gear, from boards to boots to outerwear. The Mountain Lab line is an extraordinary collection, deserving particular mention for how clean it looks; also of note is that the boards come with a sticker pack so you can populate the Lab however you want.
