The winter season brings about endless weeks and months of travel for anyone in search of fresh snow, the avid snowboarder trying to experience different types of riding , and those involved with the snowboard industry meandering the world for their jobs. It seems as though there's never a spare second for down time at home or a moment that suitcases aren't being unpacked just to be simply repacked.

Salomon Snowboards has already experienced a the whirlwind of travel in only the past month.

Here we go again. Another week, another Monday, another video montage. This dreadful day really needs to take a hike. Now that winter is fully underway, Mondays are officially even worse. The weekend warriors that work 9-5 jobs will take this day to reflect on the epic snowboarding that went down over the weekend, realize they can't ride for another four days, and most likely fall into a deep depression. Hence, the creation of "Moody Monday" - an attempt to prevent this terrible depression and keep the snowboard dream alive.

You're welcome. Let the snow porn commence.

Maybe getting old has its perks?

In the latest episode of Salomon Freeski TV the crew follows around a group of 70+ year old who still love skiing as much now as they did when they first started.

This episode is an inspirational look at how awesome and freeing powder skiing can be even when you're close to knocking on heaven's door.

Mary Woodward, a 75 year old women who skis over a hundred days a year, shines in the video, and shows her love for powder. "It's such a free feeling, being in powder. You forget how old you are."

We only hope we can be crushing it as hard as these folks when we get to their stage in life.

"It's a magic flow across the snow."

Frank Bourgeis cut his way through the ranks of competitors at the 2nd Annual Salomon Backyard Bang Denver at The Art Institute of Colorado, landing first place and $1500 for overall consistency, smooth style and a bounty of landed tricks.

First place for women and $1000 was awarded to Courtney Cox for an unmatched arsenal of tricks on all the rail jam features throughout the 30-minute finals.

Thousands of spectators swarmed the event set up at 1200 Lincoln St. in downtown Denver to celebrate the beginning of winter and support snowboarders who traveled from throughout the US and the mountains of Colorado to compete.

The air was chilly and the sun was shining while Cole Linzmeyer grabbed the judges attention, earning 2nd place followed by Cody Boan, who according to Judge Ryan Thompson had the "best looking frontside lipslide and gap to down on the kink rail," placing third overall.

The women's competition was stacked with highlights including a Frontside 360 over the "Scion Deathgap" feature and tech tricks on the rails. Lynn Neil grabbed second place and crowd favorite Izzy Lalive came in third.

Admissions representatives from the Art Institute of Colorado supplied prospective students with information about their programs throughout the day. The smell of local food venders wafted throughout the crowd while spectators checked out the sponsor village and won prizes or waited to have Salomon Pro's Louif Paradis, Scotty Arnold and Chris Grenier sign autographs and give out stickers and posters.
