Armada Presents SNOWCIETIES Ep. 1: Michigan
from ARMADA SKIS INC.
Mike Hornbeck has moved back home to Michigan for good, a spot not typically known as a skiing mecca but as Mike says, “You can ski anywhere and do it creatively, and make it fun.” With massive snowfall the past few years rivaling the Rockies, the suddenly snow-laden city of Grand Rapid offers up plenty for Hornbeck’s street skiing skill set. In Episode 1 of Snowcieties, Mike celebrates his skiing roots with friends Spencer Milbocker and Kim Boberg on a four-month urban mission spanning November to February.

Why do we go to the mountains? There are reasons that reach beyond the climb, past the descent, and are far more important than the summit. Regardless of the grade, the elevation, or the name of any peak, we go to the mountains seeking a feeling; and no matter where or who we are, the […]

Highlight, Bold, Spotlight or Underline your favorite lines of the year. That’s what DC snowboarding did with its all new Underline Series volume 2 featuring Mat Schaer.

Norway is to pro snowboarders what Japan is to sushi, and Scotland is to whisky: sure, other countries produce them, but not in the same quantity or quality. Which is a mixed blessing if you’re a snowboarder. The level is so high, that on one hand it pushes you to be the best rider you can be.
