My Blog: Cat Skiing & Boarding Contest
By: snowcats


Amped & ready for our 3rd season of operations, Backcountry Snowcats, is giving you a chance to win a piece of the action. Located on the Hurley Pass north of Pemberton and south of the snowmobiling hub of Bralorne, Backcountry Snowcats has more epic ski & snowboard terrain than we know what to do with, and is always scheming new ways to get you to the goods. Hence the creation of their unique new Private Big Mountain Experience package - guiding small groups of 3-4 riders, with safety training and mountaineering techniques in the mix. Using Snow Cat access, sleds & ski touring to cover more ground, you're looking at an epic weekend of money lines. It’s an experience unlike anything you’ll find at other cat boarding or heli operations, and Backcountry Snowcats is looking forward to hosting the first takers this season.

To launch the new package and wet your appetite for winter, our 'Find The Money Line' Contest could be your ticket to $1000 in Backcountry Snowcats credit this winter. First explore the 15,000 acres of powdery bowls, chutes and glades with the new interactive maps, then Enter to Win.
Not a bad deal eh?

Someone is going to score $1000 towards a trip at Backcountry Snowcats, and you can chose to apply it to the package that suites you best. It’s enough to cover a 2-Day weekend trip, with 2 nights at the Backcountry Snowcats Lodge, snowmobile or Snow Cat rides to and from Pemberton, 2 days cat skiing/riding, and hearty catered meals during your stay. Or bring some friends and put the prize bounty towards a Private Big Mountain Experience or Custom Trip.

Check out our new site, enter the contest, and with any luck you’ll be shredding at Backcountry Snowcats this winter.

My Blog: yeah
By: death_god15


there is a god
his name is death
he walk among us
choseing his next
he writes their name with his blood
he laughs
knowing that their gonna die
he see's our names with his eyes
he dosent have a syth
just a book
 
 
he cry's knowing he has done wrong
its his burdon
he's the only one
the pain in his chest
where his heart should belong
he has wing's but likes to walk
we cant see him
he's just there
 
 
he is a god that cannot die
he writes his own name
hopeing that he should die
his life is a burdon
one that he cannot stand
he falls to his knees
and he wonders why
the gods hate him
as he begins to die.

My Blog: 3 Weeks Left to Win Free Cat Boarding
By: snowcats


What do “The Sex Tiger”, “Creamy Jeans” and “There Will Be Blood” have in common? Not much, but they’re all name ideas for Backcountry Snowcats newest line.

There’s only three weeks left to be a part of Backcountry Snowcats history, and score some free Cat-Snowboarding out of the deal. Think you can come up with a better name?  Bring it on.

Backcountry Snowcats, located on the Hurley Pass north of Pemberton and south of the cult-classic snowmobiling hub of Bralorne, has more epic ski & snowboard terrain than they know what to do with. It has been a mind-blowing season so far, with more storms and good times to come. With the recent nice weather the cat has been pushing roads higher and higher into the alpine, now within spitting distance of… the new line. The line that you get to name.

Enter the contest, come up with a name for one of the new lines, and if your line name is chosen, you win a weekend at Backcountry Snowcats to shred your new line, and many others. First explore www.snowcats.ca to learn about the area, then enter a name that best suites this unnamed line.

Someone is going to score a weekend worth $898 CAD, with 2 nights at the Hurley Mountain Lodge, snowmobile or Snow Cat rides to and from Pemberton, 2 days cat skiing/riding, and hearty catered meals during your stay.

To get your juices flowing, here’s some funny, clever, and random contenders that were received so far, all loosely related to cats, snow, and railroads:
‘Gladeator’,
‘One Track Mind’,
‘Boxcar Gnarly’,
‘The Sex Tiger’,
‘Smoking Bowls’,
‘The Humpyard’,
 ‘Bullet Terrain’,
‘There Will Be Blood’,
‘3:10 to Hurley’,
‘Gravy Train’,
‘Station 4:20’,
‘Derailed’,
‘Tighty Whitey’,
and ‘Creamy Jeans’.

The unnamed line is one of several mouth-watering, feature-filled, powdery, 3000 ft lines in the North Ridge zone. Topping out at 2300m with views of Bralorne 20km away, it drops for a 1000m (3300ft) descent of epic skiing and riding. Weave the glades, slash the gully walls, or just point it down the center. If this line doesn’t get your heart pumping, you’re already dead.

Come up with a clever name that's as unique as the terrain, and if it’s chosen, you win a cat boarding trip. If you don't win, go anyways. You won’t regret it.

my blog: high winds out here ?
By: black_voodoo


cannot find the words to describe how I am feeling to night i feel renewed/refreshed and I am currently missing a person


And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow.
But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself.
It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing...
Baby don't worry cause now I got your back. And every time you feel like crying,
I'm gonna try and make you laugh.

My Blog: Winter and the Livin's Gettin' Better
By: AKBoarder


I've been back in Alaska for a while now. Not permanently, mind you, but mostly. In and out. I spent 3 weeks in the Tahoe area.. that was fun. Been back and forward between here and San Francisco for most of the year.

Moving there in January.

Alyeska already has 300+" through November. Let's hope for another amazing December, especially now that they semester is up.

Being in San Francisco is going to be nice. Only live about a 20 minute walk from the beach, like a 5 or 6 minute bus ride.

Yup.

Live is good. Life is good.

My Blog: This is a song I wrote for my band THE NEW BLACK "Random Chaos"
By: SatansSkater666


Fire in the windows
The house is burning down.
If everything is ment to be lost
I'm glad that it's right now.
 
Even thought I thought that this time
I was sue that it would last.
All these problems kept coming back
From my forgotten past.
 
Trouble follows me
Stronger than an oceans current.
I don't think I will be able to live
With all of this torment.
 
Running is no longer an option
When you will be chased to the end.

If I could...: our song by taylor swift!! love it
By: killer10168


I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
he's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
the other on my heart
i look around, turn the radio down
he says baby is something wrong?
i say nothing i was just thinking how we don't have a song
and he says...

CHORUS
our song is the slamming screen door,
sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
when you're on the phone and you talk real slow
cause it's late and your mama don't know
our song is the way you laugh
the first date "man, i didn't kiss her, but i should have"
and when i got home...before i said amen
asking god if he could play it again

my blog: vultures
By: black_voodoo


Im not gonna tell u i love u anymore
cause its not like i've given up its
jus it want you to say it first thats all i ask
i think of u everyday every night before i sleep
i hate are akward silences
 

you know what i really want.....

a guy  whose supportive of me and my dreams cuz christ knows they mean alot to me, one who can understand me for myself and that i may make alot of mistakes but i can do sumthings right and its usualy worth it in the end...a guy that doesnt care if i ask alot of questions bout things that happend just cuz i want to understand whats going on with him and how he  feels.....i hope ive found one...




 

 
Here's a night, and it shines.

And it calls us on and on.
So be here by my side, and watch the stars.
They're ours.
Make a wish or just take charge.
The moment comes get lost and go far.

I think that we've got what it takes to get this heart start beating again.
So take it all the way.

Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
So just let go and fall into it.

We begin, breathe in.
Here's our chance to go for something.
So this is where we win, and take the game.
No blame. There's a neon light inside that shines.
And tearing down the walls in the way.

I think that we've got what it takes to get this heart start beating again.
So take it all the way.



It's cold inside, but deep in the night.
The light is bright enough to save the weakest ones but you're in the running
Oh don't you give up, or fade away.
 
xoxo - brianne

my blog: awkward late night conversations
By: black_voodoo


my mind is so busy, so chaotic, all these random thoughts running through my mind! i really don't know what to type in here, i'll just put all the random thoughts down--

 i still have to write a letter tonight...   

I wish someone would leave me a fun note on my car...in the middle of the night..
(i .. i don't know...but it sounds fun..) or like tap on my window..
 
i miss the old you.but im over it...or will be
 
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
 
changes. growing up.

sometimes the best moments are just driving around town, windows down, glasses on, and singing alone to your favorite music and songs.

driving somewhere for no reason or drive no where for a reason.

looking at the scenery, watching the other thousands of cars driving by, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone you know.

always had this idea that it was ok if you and i weren't together right now.
because i felt deep inside that you and i were soul mates.
meant to be together;  because with all i have; i love you.

im not quite so sure these days..

i know that you are the one person that when i close my eyes i envision growing with..through age and as a person..

but my uncertainty is how you feel for me.

i might not ever know.

you don't quite understand.
