Shaun White is a sensation. Nobody can question that after this (if they ever did)…

He had already secured the gold medal sitting in first position before his final run. His current score was an amazing 97 of 100. Still, Shaun was determined to once again step it up a notch and show the world that the gold medal was fully earned.

It started out as a funny little gimmick, but the game has been a great success ever since we introduced it on MySnowparks. Gnarshmallow (often misspelled as Gnarshmellow) is the official name of the game. It is a flash game where you basically take a tiny skier or snowboarder down through a level that might be both in the back country and in snowparks or terrain parks. You can hit anything from cliffs to park kickers, rails, boxes, and even a quarter pipe (no halfpipes, yet).

It’s that time of the year again. Everyone that is something in snowboarding or freeskiing is flocking to Aspen, Colorado for the yearly X Games (26 to 29 January). It’s the most prestigious competition you can win in skiing and snowboarding. Period. The athletes are hungry and as always very excited to see the slopestyle course.

Slopestyle is just one of many disciplines at Winter X Games 2012. Big Air and SuperPipe are the two other major desciplines.

We recently posted the video of shit skiers say. Now it is time for the other side of the story – we need to hear the shit snowboarders say too.

We are in the process of moving over all the old user accounts to the new MySnowparks. If you had a login before, we will make it possible to use that on the new site soon.

In the meantime you’re very welcome to setup a new profile. It only takes a few minutes and will quickly get you going on the new MySnowpark.

Today the new MySnowparks.com has been fully launched! We have been running in beta mode for a while and kept the old site up, but now we’re finally ready to present to you the new full site.

We’ve said it before – this is such a huge project. We have no doubt in our minds that it will work out and that the new site will be a huge success.

We really look forward to see you all on the new site. Go ahead and have a look around!
And don’t hesitate to throw a comment to let us know what you think.

We’ve touched upon the old debate of skiers vs. snowboarders before. There can be no doubt that it is easy to hate on skiers. These guys decided to do a video on that theme. And it turned out quite hilarious and is going viral around the internet at the moment.

Tanner Hall used to be king of the pipe. He might not be ready to give that title up just yet – judging from this recent video of him riding the super pipe in the Three Kings Terrain Park at Park City Mountain Resort.

Australian pro skier Russ Henshaw has been skiing in Whistler recently. The weather was pretty bad, so he has mainly been perfecting his rail skills. Check out this little edit of both him skiing and Charles Beckinsale snowboarding the Habitat Park.
