When I was a young teenager I had a mentor, Mark who was working on a degree in Geochemistry. This meant he had to do a lot of field work and I was lucky enough to be asked to accompany him on a tree up north to Lassen Volcanic Park. He was studying hot springs and what better time to study them than in winter. You really haven't lived until you've seen hot springs in winter.When I was a young teenager I had a mentor, Mark who was working on a degree in... more

As skiers and snowboarders strap on their sticks of choice this winter, few will take time to think about why snow is the substance of choice for sliding downhill.

An avalanche is the land equivalent to a tsunami, a force so great it will engulf and sweep away anything that comes in its path. To anyone who likes going off the beaten track - on a snowboard or on skis - an avalanche is a real danger and a potential killer.
In our new show Man Versus Earth, experienced off piste snowboarder Sam Branson goes to the US to find out how to survive an avalanche and you can watch him being buried alive in the name of science here.
After trawling the web we have found five of the scariest avalanche videos you will ever see, unless you end up being caught in one yourself.
1. Chris Bilbao gets buried alive for a long time!
The most terrifying account of what it's be like to be buried deep under a concrete blanket of snow. It's dark, you can't see, you can't breathe and no one can hear you cry. Luckily for Chris he wasn't skiing alone and luckily for us he had a camera on his helmet.
2. Skier buried in massive avalanche in Norway
This viking is swept away over a huge cliff and into a bunch of trees. It's a good thing the video doesn't have any subtitles because these guys swear a lot!
3. Compilation of insane riders in BIG avalanches
Some crazy footage here of riders cheating death on the slopes.
4. Avalanche buries a mountain village
5. A British snowboarder caught in a huge avalanche

Okay, so this race in WV is crazy.
The Governor of WV, Joe Manchin, is this huge pro-MTR jerkwad, totally in bed with the industry, and he’s just got this megalomaniacal drive to seek even more power. Now, when Robert Byrd died, Manchin had the power to appoint whomever he wanted. He really wanted to appoint himself, but his PR sense wouldn’t let him do that. It would be too obvious of a power grab, plus he’d only serve a partial term, and then likely get voted out for being a power-hungry monster.
So what he did instead was this: he appointed somebody else to fill Byrds spot, but then after appointing them, he wanted to hold a special election so that he could “legitimately” run for office. Now, this is costing WV a lot of money. Elections cost money for governments to hold in terms of manpower, printing ballots, running voting machines, etc, especially when they are held on the whim of the Governor. But there was a catch, he had to change the law in order to hold this special election. So he mucked around in the state congress until he had enough votes to change the law to create a special election so he could run for office. Oh yeah, and he’s a Democrat.
A Democratic Party elder in WV politics, Ken Hechler came forward to run in the primary to challenge Manchin. Ken Hechler is on hell of a dude. He served in WWII, he advised Harry Truman, marched with MLK jr, and served 9 terms as WV Sec of State.
But, Since he didn’t have the coal industry backing him (because he wasn’t a pro-MTR candidate) and Manchin DOES have the coal industry backing him, Manchin flooded the media market with adverts and won handily.
So now, there’s a Republican who is in the back pocket of the Coal Industry, there is a Democrat who is in the other backpocket of the coal industry, but there is only ONE candidate running who is against MTR coal mining-- Jesse Johnson of the Green affiliated party, the Mtn Party. Jesse Johnson makes a cameo appearance in the film “Coal Country” has run for Governor of WV, and is a tireless activist. He has been working on this issue for years.
Ken Hechler ENDORSED Jesse Johnson over Joe Manchin. It’s kind of a huge fucking deal for an institution of the DNC to throw aside party alleigance for an issue like this. It would be like Hillary Clinton endorsing Ralph Nader.Okay, so this race in WV is crazy.

It's a snowboard thingy that is made to split in half and act like a pair of powder cross-country skis, which makes trudging through the "deep pow" a heck of a lot easier.
This event will be a tour of the Pacific Northwest's backcountry. Those nutty adventures folks will share stories and maybe even learn a few things about the passion they call Splitboarding.
The history of Snowboarding can trace it roots back to the Mt Baker backcountry, an area noted for its early snowfalls, deep winter snowpack, and late season riding. So what would be a better place to hold this inaugural event than the Mt Baker area?
Date: March 27th and 28th.
Lodging and meals: Mt Bake Mountaineers Lodge, $70 for full weekend.
Events include a Splitboarding Techniques Class, a Basic Avalanche Awareness Class and a raffle to benefit the Friends of the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center.It's a snowboard thingy that is made to split in half and act like a pair of... more
