Chris Hardin Set up of the month

Chris is shown here holding his new Jib machine. It's the 180 cm Lib skunk ape. When asked about it's size, chris mumbled " the xtra length helps me pick up the ladies. You know what they say about the size of a man's board." I didn't fully understand, but decided to ask him how he plans to spin this in the park. His next words were slightly unintelligible, but it sounded something like "I'll spin this so hard it'll sound like a helicopter come a buzzin over your head." I don't know about you, but i believe him. look for lil chris to be killin the backside of sugar mtn with his new ride!

Arbor Element 2010 Snowboard

Eldorado wood. There, I said it. it's the topsheet material that makes this deck look and ride absolutely amazing. It acts as 3rd layer of fiberglass and allows the board to deliver solid initiation, return and control. this deck is a freeriders dream and it looks beautiful. stop in to check out all of the other Arbor decks alpine has to offer.

Nike 6.0 drop for November

3 new 6.0 shoes are now in stock. 2 great kids offerings are shown first. Up top is the mogan jr in black/sport red. Below is the mogan mid jr in black sea green. Kids shoes are always hard to find, especially in the 13-2 size range. We have both of these kicks down that small for the little groms who want some cool skateboard shoes.
Below is the great, and I stress great, new colorway in the 6.0 dunk. Usually reserved for the SB line, the dunk gets a sick treatment in this blueprint/classic charcoal color. It's got a great design, and is accented by a nice aqua hit. Be sure to check these out on your next visit.

Ugg classic shorts are back

Alpine just got in 40 pair of this sought after boot today in 3 great colors. Black, grey and chocolate are shown above. We also got in sand, it just didn't make the picture. The classic short is extremely comfortable and meant to be worn without socks. They run about a size big, so buy accordingly. this is our allotment of this model, so once they are gone, we can't get any more. These are still on every girls Christmas "NEED" list, so hurry in before these are all snatched up.

Ski Swap Time Again?

Seems like just yesterday I worked my first swap at Alpine. It was 1985, and back then swaps were HUGE!. we would have 5,000 people roll through the store and parking lot looking for deals. the front yard would be filled with all kinds of skis and boots. we would bring out clearance racks of clothing and build up makeshift dressing rooms. we would put 3 registers outside and have the fagowees selling hot dogs and soda on the side lot. I was just 14, and it was a fun time to be in the ski industry.
Now, in our 38th year, I have seen a huge resurgence of the ski swap. People are coming back out and looking for great used gear. The glut of straight skis and step in snowboard binders is nearly behind us. There are some great deals to be had at these events. There are ways to go skiing and snowboarding with out having to drop big dollars.Pick up a couple season old pair of skis or snowboard and forgo the rental line.
Stop in this weekend and let our staff help outfit you in a great "new to you" set up. Or drop off your old equipment and let us sell it for you.
remember.. we have the right to refuse ANY equipment I deem unsafe. If you don't like it, then put it on craigslist. No straight skis, No old thermoplastic boots. Nothing but the good stuff.
So come in this weekend and peruse the goods in the yard. And we will also be having some sick deals in the store as well. See you this weekend.
