After the last trip to Sälen we packed the car once again and headed of to Romme Alpin.
Romme is one of the smallest mountains in Sweden. The good thing about Romme is the southern location and the well prepaired slopes. On the bad side you have the simple fact that there are no steep slopes. But once again – it´s easy to access and it´s often sunny.

Even tough the winter is full on and the snowboard season is on top the spring & summer ranges are starting do drop. Here´s the latest from Nikita Clothing.

As we reported some time ago the s/s range from Loreak Mendian is about to hit the stores. Now the web site is updated. And as usual the clothes look really good.
Nike just dropped the latest SB-release. The Zoom Tre A.D. is supposed to be the latest when it comes to hi tech skate shoes. It uses the same tech as the Free shoes. But this time with a better grip and the over all skate redesign. Personally I miss the Angus. To me that was the last interesting shoe that came out of the Nike SB hq.
The Zoom Tre A.D. is avaivable now (march 08). Look out for the a/w with much better colours coming.
As the months go on and you see more and more of the sun it might be time to think about some new shades for the summer season.
Smith Optics have a contest over at their site where you can win either the Witness or the Invite. Both pairs are part of Smith’s spring news.
With the spring coming closer the skateboard companies are revealing their secrets for the spring/summer. Stereo Skateboards have launched the new range including more streetwear than ever. But as usual it`s the skateboards that are really eye catching.
The Arctic challenge was held in late february just outside of Oslo at Holmenkollen arena.
