But before he left, he had one more modeling job to do. He put on the new Orage Stanley jacket in this great brown/blue print. Orage has some great new styles and their clothes are made extremely well. This jacket is 15,000 waterproof and great for any type of weather. We like it with either e chocolate or blue pant (Which we have both of in stock).

Vew Do balance decks are back in stock at Alpine. We haven't had these in store since 1996. It's been far to long. Vew do balance boards are handmade in Vermont and they are an excellent training device. They help work core muscles that are used in just about everything we sell here at Alpine. We have 5 different styles in stock. These are perfect for the upcoming snow season.
Check out this rad set up put together today for Yihvan. She had done some research and came to the conclusion that the B-Nice Banana traction deck was the right one for her. We couldn't agree more. This deck is sick and it's banana. She matched it with our first choice of the Burton Stileto binding. You might remember us showing that combination on the blog earlier a week ago. On her feet, she grabbed some 32 focus boa boots. Enjoy!
Here is a sneak peak of the final piece in Ride Limited shop Employee Line. The Contraband LE binder with our favorite ninja monkey. Check out the crackle print all around the heel cup. Coming with famous wedgie technology and one strap convenience, it ties in perfectly with the deck. Look for Matt out on the hill with these binders on his LE machete.
The first thing you notice with this kicks is the weight. They are extremely lightweight and are a brilliant blue. This is a new shoe for alpine. The Romero hasn't been on the shelves in a couple of seasons. Stop in and check out alpines great shoe wall next time you are in the area. you won't be disappointed.

Check out the teeth up top and multi colored soul. This boot features an extremely comfortable Intuition liner which is also super lightweight. Be sure to check these out quick, because once they are gone....
Arbor changed factories this season and it allowed them to make some decks they were unable to produce in the past. This is a prime example. This seasons draft is coming with brass edges, reverse camber, and grip tech sidecut. Dubbed the "Hannah Montana Banana", this is a park slayers dream. the brass edges provide catch free grinds, and the rocker allows for rock star like riding. A nice medium flex makes this just about perfect for anyone from the weekend warrior to the mountain rat.
Now with wedgie technology. The new RX from ride snowboards in all it glory. Great new ratchets, the wedgie tech underfoot, and a nice stiff baseplate. It also has the great toe cap that locks the foot in place. The wedgie technology puts your legs in a more comfortable stance so that you have more power driving your weight into the board. Stop in and step on our demo wedgie board, and feel the difference.

Only $179 and all sizes are available.
2 Pair of these amazing bindings arrived today, and they are already pre- sold. The new contraband in the Acid Yellow looks and rides amazing. The contraband series came out last season and was pretty well liked. It's one buckle design was one that had not been seen in snowboarding before. it proved to be lightweight, easy on and off, and provided great board feel. They boosted the toe wrap and the side edges for this season, as well as adding wedgie technology.
Looking for a way to store your longboard or snowboard so it's out of the way? Come in and grab the Bordz up wall hanger. These things are super lightweight and easy to install on any wall. They display the board nicely too. Also available for 2 pair of skis. Stop in and check them out. We have one up on the wall that you can play with.
Alpine got some new Anti Hero wood in and the artwork is done by none other than Lance Mountain. Stop in and check them out. They look great, and we always love the wood from Deluxe.
We always love it when our team riders stop in just to say hey. Stephen stopped in on Saturday to pick up some new wood and chill behind the skate counter and rap with everyone. Look for Stephen and all the other alpine riders to have their own blog soon. maybe this week.
Anyone can strap a black binding on a deck and go, but we at alpine love color. Throw some lucite blue and purple bindings on your ride and go kill it. If you haven't guessed I am a sucker for anything lucite. I likes it when tom Petty's guitarist played a lucite guitar, and I like it when Burton makes lucite binders.
Ronnie Lau stopped in the store the other night and hooked himself up with this sick set up. That's the new Ride Machete with lowrize technology and a matching RX ride binder with wedgie foot technology. Doesn't that look sick? I thought so too. To top it of he added Burton's new freestyle boot in the elephant print colorway. look for Ronnie to be killing it out on the hills this winter.
Sverre (pronounced Svetta), is wearing Giro's new Seam Helmet. It is super lightweight,ultra comfortable and has a sick vent system. On his face he is rocking the new Oakley Splice goggle which has a system incorporated into the bridge of the nose that allows for more airflow. More Oxygen equals more energy. Works like breatheright strips. Sounds like a good idea right?
Little girls rejoice. The all pink size adjustable helmet is in stock and it looks fabulous. This helmet is size adjustable and fits most kids heads for years. And did I mention it is pink. Alpine has a great selection of kids helmets in all colors. Let one of the staff fit you in a brain bucket you are sure to love.
Atomic boots just look rich this season. When you pick one up, it just looks amazing. Then, when you get around to trying one on, you find out that they actually fit, and fit well. The M tech boots have the 102mm ball of foot. They also have all metal micro buckles, a heat moldable liner, and a nice 80 flex. Stop by their web page to check out the specs here.
Anyone can make a binder, But can anyone make one that looks and rides as nice as the Data from Union? It's called attention to detail. The sheer beauty of this binding alone should make you want to purchase it. Forget about the cushioning, the magnesium buckles and the comfy strap. Stop in and see why Union is the fastest growing binding brand at Alpine.
Next time you stop into the store check out the rad window cling we got from ride. They even put our logo on it. Man I feel special. What's even cooler about it is the fact that it's see through. So it doesn't block any light from coming in. Ride....... Could they be any better?
What's better than 1 boa lacing system on a boot? How about 2 boa systems. That's what we like here at Alpine. It's the Focus Boa train and we are driving it all the way to Mammoth. The One is Flows stiffest model. So, if you like your snowboard boot to have instant response to drive your board into some hard carves, this is your boot. Flow boots have quickly become one of alpines best selling lines. They are comfortable, fairly light, and have every ones favorite boa lacing system.
There is still a contingency of people out there who love the performance and fit of a lace boot. For them, we carry the 32 Prime boot. It comes with 2 different wraps to make the boot stiffer or softer. The 32 liner is super light and wicked comfortable, and the response from boot to board is instantaneous. 32 makes some of the best boots in snowboarding.
Colin is wearing the new 2010 Volcom Ventricle jacket in black. Check out the dope retro lines. Volcom snow gear for the 2010 season is really insane. the graphics department definitely worked overtime on this seasons line up. we like this jacket with any number of neon colored pants. Orange,red, kelly green... You name it, alpine has it. The jacket is 10,000-10,000, and has fully taped seams. for a hat colin chose the volcom beanie in orange. If you like the volcom stuff, you have to get in early, because once it's gone, it more than likely can't be ordered. Volcom keeps their inventory levels extremely low.
2 great new shoes arrived today from sole technologies. Above is one of alpine's favorite shoes. The Cessner mid is back. I remember it being called the cessna mid before, but sometimes a name change is needed. Why, I don't know. But it is still sick. The shoe is a dark grey/grey colorway.
Super simple. Super Clean. Super comfortable. this shoe is a staple in the 6.0 line. It's called a mid, but it's more of a high top. The black white colorwayis classic and it comes with back up white laces. All sizes in stock today.
I often do my blogging as I sit in my favorite chair enjoying some delicious drafts. Today's beer of choice is my favorite beverage, Fat Tire. I can' believe I have now written 1000 posts. I thank all of you who have read my ramblings, insight, and product placements. I also know, through google analytics, that many people land on this page by accident, thanks to google. But here we go on another snow season. It's going to be great. look like a cold winter, and lots of great riding. I look to some more great blogging from Denver this year, and it looks as though a new web page could be in our future within a week. So I will continue to sit here during this upcoming winter season and write about all the rad stuff alpine has, and maybe some rumors and sneak peeks.
Isaac over at Roll One distribution has been working hard at producing the best inline wheels in the industry. Roll one is the new inline division of skate one which produces and distributes powell, Bones wheels and bearings, and much much more. These wheels have always had amazing graphics. This new series is no exception. Today Alpine received the new robert Lievanos, and Eric Shrijn pro wheels.
What's more manly than a purple binding? Not much I say. This is the new burton cartel in the "Purps" Colorway. It is simply awesome looking and it also is a great performer.
Alpine has procured 7 Arbor demo decks from last season. These have all been ridden a couple of times and are in excellent shape. They are all 1/2 off and come with a sick arbor banner and arbor sticker pack. Some good sizes and some solid decks. These will only be available through the weekend, so if you are looking for a great deal on a lightly used deck, stop into Alpine this weekend.
If you recall, the last couple of seasons ride had offered decks in DFC versions for select shops. It never really took off, Much the same way for Burtons Uninc line. So this season ride has tried something different. they have taken their number 1 park board and they are releasing 3 different graphics over the next 3 months. Pretty cool idea. These are going to be extremely limited and were only offered to select accounts throughout the country. (Whatever that means).
