The Meeting 10: Panel Sessions

The Meeting in Aspen popped of a few weeks ago for its 10th iteration. A highlight of the notorious of event were the actual meeting sessions which were held at the LimeLight Lodge. The sessions this year were highly informative and inspirational. Thanks to Aspen/Snowmass the conferences were all filmed and are available to you for free, right here.

Settle in, press play, and gain some knowledge.

From Aspen/Snowmass: The conference portion of The Meeting will gathered top minds from inside snow sports and outside and lead a series of discussions on a range of topics. The conversations regarding content, digital landscape, brand activation, licensing and connecting action sports with the mainstream are certain to continue while new topics will be introduced. 

Leanne Pelosi: Full Part Vision Airs

We’ve always enjoyed the style and creative prowess of shred guru, Leanne Pelosi. From her part in Standard Films TB20, to her raw and ridiculous edits with the PeepShow girls, Pelosi always pushes what’s possible. Though the sponsorship well for women’s riders is drying up, Pelosi still ventured all over the world and pulled together a kickass Full Part. It just dropped and is chock full of pillow lines, pow slashes, rowdy rail segments, and has us jonseing for this season’s first big dump.

#Respect

Vision Airs web series is about Leanne Pelosi riding with snowboarders who have a capability to see beyond their current reality. These ‘vision airs’ exude creativity and style. Inspired through infectious energy, the best moments of Leanne Pelosi’s season are delivered in one edit as her full part. Enjoy.

Filmed on location in Whistler B.C, Sweden, Japan, Alaska, and Calgary AB.

Lust: Brixton Tiller Hat

Welcome to Lust, a series in which we’ll tap an item or two that we’re completely enamored with.. Today’s item is from one of our favorite brands, Brixton. It’s the Tiller Hat, a wide-brimmed felt head piece that makes any scenario more fun. Whether you’re racing dune buggies on the beach, wandering through the streets of Barcelona, or simply ordering a late night slice, the Tiller Hat is the perfect go-to dome piece. Love.

The Best Time, Every Time. Aspen/Snowmass

No matter what season you come to Aspen/Snowmass, it’ll be the best time, every time. Check out this new trailer for their three-part series, Mind Body Spirit.

The best time, every time. Awesomeness at its best.

A guide to Social Media-Induced Diseases

Yes, they do exist.

Given that we all are constantly preoccupied with what going on with our devices, a slew of social media-induced diseases have been brought to the surface. The Date Report, our new favorite dating guide has brought to light several of these highly life-threatening diseases, and we’ve selected a few of our reoccurring favorites.. Yeah, we’re guilty of catching a few of these….

Obsessive Refresh Disorder: The compulsive urge to reload your Gmail. (Ugh, we do this like all the time, because maybe, just maybe, we got that job we haven’t applied for… )

Emoji-induced Aphasia: A degenerative condition that slowly degrades your brain’s ability to process language made out of actual letters. (So what if we have one full relationship with a guy based totally on Emoji’s, standard wink-faces, and the occasional selfie?)

The Twitches: The feeling that you cannot sit through an event without compulsively live-tweeting it. (Sure we might not know anything about the big game that’s on, but hello– It’s a perfect time to tweet recklessly! We might even get 1 additional follower!)

Tinderrhea: A condition whereby you indiscriminately swipe right in order to secure as many dates as possible. (We actually constantly swipe left, because we’re only on Tinder to find someone famous… And we’d much rather meet a guy at the bar, who is already half-turnt, ready for the taking…) 

Non-Reciprocal Like Imbalance: A recurring disease whereby you regularly “like” a person’s posts even though that person has never once “liked” any of your posts. (“Like, maybe if I like just one more of his posts, he’ll like, like me!”–)

Boobonic Plague: The repeated sending of ill-advised sexts. (Wait, why aren’t you responding to my ultra-sexy staged boudoir pic? Um, better just keep sending dirty sexts.)

Ahh, social media, how we love thee– diseases and all. Check out the full list of diseases here: The Date Report.

Don’t act like you aren’t guilty of a few 😉

What would you do?

On a recent Saturday in New York, a young man found himself in an unusual predicament.. So what exactly did he do?

An Open Letter To Cowardly Guys

We found this relatable article on EliteDaily about that guy who vanished from the face of the earth without even the small courtesy of communicating an inkling of his plan. Yeah, we’ve experienced this in varying degrees from several chaps, so it’s interesting many girls out their have dealt with the same.

It’s happened to many of us. You meet a boy; he’s cute enough, fun enough and you decide you just might like him. You go on some dates, get a little physical and text each other almost every day. This goes on for about a month or so and then, on some random day, you text him and don’t receive the usual quick response.

You think that maybe he’s just super busy at work. More hours pass and you think maybe he left his phone at home.
A whole day passes, and you figure that his phone must just be broken; he’ll get back to you. He always gets back to you. I mean, you’re practically dating, right?

You text him again, just in case he missed it the first time. Still, you get nothing. Texting him three times with no response would be kind of aggressive, you reason, but you do it anyway, out of sheer desperation.

Suddenly, the harsh, sinking feeling of reality hits you: He’s not going to get back to you. His phone didn’t break and he isn’t busy.
You know he saw your text messages because, let’s be real, this is 2014 and everyone sees every text, every time……….

So the question that remains for us is this: How could someone be so cowardly? When we knew you, you had balls, so where did they go? Did they shrivel and shrink, leading you to shy away?

Read the full post from Elite here, and remember that dude that dumped you without even as much as saying sayonara is sooo not worth your time…. At least you can chuckle at the spineless freak;  he has to endure life as a ball-less bastard.

Awake: Spirit Weavers Gathering

We recently stumbled upon the Spirit Weavers Gathering. A special festival May 22-26 dedicated to women to explore, rejoice, and learn from mother earth. The spiritual gathering is a time for women of all walks of life to join together and celebrate the awesomeness of life and mother earth’s beauty in Joshua Tree, California. It’s a time for sharing our natural talents, teaching others our trades, and learning from one another while in the wild.

Registration just opened, so if you’re interested in joining, check it out.

From Spirit Weavers:

THE VISION~The second annual Spirit Weavers Gathering will be an intimate experience and opportunity for women to gather, dream, sing, dance and learn together.  We are calling forth a collective of empowered, creative earth mamas and ceremonial sisters.  Our prayer is to eventually be able to offer this celebration to all women who feel called to participate, moving the event to larger locations as necessary to accommodate us all.  This is a time when many visions are being received and birthed.  Let us open the space to hear our hearts song and support each other in manifesting those visions in the here and now!

Check out more info about the Gathering here. We hope to see you in Joshua Tree. Namaste.
