Hana Beaman's a beast, though -- a beautiful, graceful beast, but she'll shut down a male ego in no time flat when she steps on her snowboard. And she has been known to head butt people from time to time. If Tara Dakides was the first female to hit the same jumps and rails as
Launching in Tignes during the Winter X Games week, looking sideways is a new project which aims to bring art, photography, music, film making and riding together in an ongoing series of events, exhibitions and, of course, rocking parties.

Snowboarder Magazine posted the fourth installment of Hana Beaman's webisodes, "P.S...". Like last time, Hana is still posted up in Jackson Hole, WY to session the new Stash Park with Natasza Zurek and Snowboarder's Pat Bridges, and she gets into some more sweet backcountry action with legendary female snowboarder Tara Dakides. Freshies galore up there in Wyoming I tell ya. Head over to www.snowboardermag.com to check it out.
From Cheryl Maas' tumblr blog:Never been to Jackson Hole before. I just got out here a couple of days ago to do a shoot with the volcom girls team for Snowboarder Mag. And this place is sick!!!

These are places where you can find bottomless, untracked powder turns all day long with very few, if any other people around. Mountains that feel like your own private playground. Silverton, Colorado, Mt. Baker, Washington and several in Canada would probably make that list. But among the hidden gems is a special place called Grand Targhee.

Coming from the idea of Markus Keller, this event had a unique format which is simply to jib/ride down a part of a piste/slope and make the most out of the natural terrain that the slope offers. It's a good change to the other events these days where you barely
If you're anywhere in the Northeast this month, don't miss the Empire Backyard Party presented by Vans. It's all going down in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Canada on March 19th. The jam format street rail contest goes from 2-9pm, with an after party from 10pm - 3am. And if you know anything about French Canadians, it's worth going up there just for the party.

Vans and Pro Tec held our 4th Jib City Nights Rail Jam at Mt High on February 23rd, 2011. It was a 2-hour session on 3 different obstacles in the Mt High Playground. Top 3 riders on each obstacle got a free pair of Vans shoes, and the rider with the best trick on each obstacle walked away with a Pro Tec helmet. Competitors were able to have 20 to 30 minutes on each obstacle to show off their snowboarding
