After over a month of Spring snow conditions here in Tahoe, Mother Nature finally came through. Over the weekend we received several feet of fresh powder. COMUNE snow contributors Curtis Woodman, Brendan Gerard, Dylan Thompson, and Eric Messier were up at the crack of dawn enjoy the fresh snow.
We set up a little camp and hiked several different zones. The guys killed it and hiked all day, dropping cliffs and slashing the seemingly bottomless powder. After the snow was tracked out we had some cold one’s and relaxed. COMUNE filmer Ryan “Diggles” Scardigli was there to capture it all for COMUNE’s upcoming snow edit to be released next month.
The World Snowboarding Championships (WSC) is the first championships run by snowboarders since 1999. It is developed and owned by the Ticket To Ride (TTR) and World Snowboard Federation (WSF). It is organized by Snowboard-VM 2012 AS – the local organizing company owned by The Arctic Challenge, The Norwegian Snowboard Federation and Oslo Vinterpark. The WSC got a full backing by the global snowboard community as expressed by the unanimous vote at the TTR and WSF general assemblies in Barcelona, May 2010. 
WSC is the new pinnacle event of snowboarding and will be held every four year on great snowboarding locations around the world. It is a freestyle event only with halfpipe and slopestyle as main formats. In Oslo 2012, a monster quarterpipe event in the legendary Holmenkollen ski jumping arena, will kickstart the finals.The WSC is not only a championships, but a part of the TTR World Snowboard Tour. Snowboarding is not about crowning an Olympic or World Champion every four year, but a daily endeavor for youth around the planet. With a 6 star tiering, the WSC falls in line with the united forces of snowboarding; nurturing the grass roots activity in lower tier events to cast the shining lights on the superstars of our progressive sport. In the riders eyes, winning the tour will always be prestigious – reflecting the risk and achievements over a full season.

Flow snowboarding is proud to announce that snowboarding legend Mike Basich is now riding Flow Boards, Boots, Bindings, pulling his boards through airports with Flow Bags, scrapping wax with Flow Accessories, keeping himself warm with Flow Softgoods, and, well, you get the picture. 
You may remember Mike from back in the day when he shocked everyone with his clean double backflips or when he acid droped 130 feet in Alaska from a helicopter.
Now he is known for his fluid style and gnarly attacks in the backcountry on mountains all over the world.
