Our recent Family Dinner x Domino Tuesday @escuela

Our recent Family Dinner x Domino Tuesday @escuelataqueria in Los Angeles set the tone for what seems to becoming a regular thing out there these days. 😎

When we got the heads up that our @burton family was going to be having a ‘Culture Shifters’ Reunion in Cali we spread the word and set the tables to host a gathering of some of our favorite people for a night of amazing food, drinks and games of bones. It was a real pleasure to share all that we love and bring everyone together to enjoy the best of times on the West Side! 🌴

Mucho love to all our friends and fam who came thru to celebrate life with us and especially DJ’s @laflowerchild , @flyhendrix & @xojsmn for selecting the most proper tunes! 🔊 Extra thankful for our partners @ilegalmezcal , @tequilatepozan , @thenaturalwineclub & @fallengrapewineco for the delicious thirst quenchers 🍹 and to @jammasterjays & @beed_co for bringing the after-dinner treats! 🔥

Can’t wait for the next! ✌️

Celebrating its 10th year, The @woodwardpeacepark

Celebrating its 10th year, The @woodwardpeacepark Championships took place at majestic @mtbachelor in #Oregon and it was on another level! The Pacific North West mountains are just built different. A dormant stratovolcano sitting in the High Cascade Mountain Range, Mt. Bachelor was the perfect location to host some of the top professional snowboarders on the planet to go head to head in a peer judged contest and celebration of the progression of the sport. It was pretty mind blowing to witness the boundaries get pushed to the limit on one of the most progressive courses to date designed by @snowparktech . 🌋

Danny Davis, the founder of Peace Park, really knows how to gather the best athletes together and they really set the bar high! The list of heavy hitters that showed up to throw down were @markmcmorris , @redgerard , @ben_ferguson , @zebpowelll , @brockcrouch , @sebbedebuck , @raibukatayama , @craigmcmorris , @takeru_otsuka , @phatgabe_ , @big_air_jare , @monsroisland , @69max420 , @lukewinkelmann , @dustyhenricksen , @jamieanderson , @elenahight , @tess_coady , @qcastellet , @annika.overtomorrow , @zoisynnott , @haileylangland & @_juliamarino ! ☃️

Can’t wait to see what @travelindan and crew has planned for next year!! 🗓

Major props to all the riders who keep progressing the sport and especially to the champs, Jamie Anderson & Red Gerard! 🪓

Big shout out to @mtbachelor , @woodwardpeacepark , @mountaindew & @fattire ! 🍻

Family Dinner x Domino Tuesday has been a consiste

Family Dinner x Domino Tuesday has been a consistent vibe in NYC since we started doing them way back in 2009. It’s like a family reunion each and every time so we felt the need to head out West to get together with our long lost NYC fam that have been missing the good times. 💛

We recently partnered up with our friends @escuelataqueria in Los Angeles for the first of many to come. The event was also a celebration for a limited release of the Midnight Blue color way of our classic ‘Bag-O-Bones’ domino sets, an ode to the LA Dodgers team colors, which sold out before the end of the night! 💰

Major shout out to all our friends who came thru to enjoy with us, DJ’s LaLa, Illest The King & Fly Hendrix for selecting the most proper tunes and especially to our partners @tequilatepozan & @meltmushrooms for enhancing the festivities! 🍹🍄

Looking forward to the next West Coast Edition coming up on June 14th…Hope to see you there! #WeMakeItNice 🌮🌴🌮

“We spent our whole lives feeling different on t

“We spent our whole lives feeling different on the mountain. Feeling like we always had something to prove being black kids on snowboards. I always made it a point to pull down my mask in the lift line so that people knew there was someone there representing for our people. I didn’t have to do that this week. At 50+ deep the presence was so strong. My face still hurts from smiling so much! This is really the beginning of something so beautiful and so important. We’re doing our part to make sure the generations to come won’t ever feel not at home on these mountains.” – @tjmizell

TheGoodLife! fam recently joined forces with @burtonsnowboards in Aspen, Colorado for ‘Culture Shifters’ 2022, a very special and necessary melting pot of artists, athletes, musicians, creatives and a truly eclectic group of individuals that gathered to represent and celebrate diversity in snowboarding. An idea conceptualized by George Burton Carpenter, Selema Masekela & Zeb Powell, that was inspired by a snowboarding trip last year with TJ Mizell and A$AP Ferg, which has now blossomed into a movement that plans to shift the perception of what the traditional snow sports industry and snowboard lifestyle looks like.

“While Burton is constantly addressing the problem of accessibility – through Chill and our recent support of public snowboard parks – it would be misguided to think that the reason our slopes are homogenous is just an accessibility problem. There is also a cultural belief that snowboarding is for white people. As a leader in the industry, we can help change that. By inviting people that truly influence global culture into our world, we can shift this perception – hence the name ‘Culture Shifters’.” – @george_burton_carpenter

With Burton at the helm and having the support of industry pioneers like Selema Masekela leading the charge, ‘Culture Shifters’ is bound to make some serious leaps and bounds. We’re excited for what’s next and looking forward to seeing a more colorful and beautiful mountainscape in the years to come.

"Have as much fun as possible!" was the motto that @jakeburton77 lived by so that's exactly what we did! What has now become an annual tradition, A Day for Jake, is a global celebration of the life and legacy of Jake Burton Carpenter, a true pioneer of the sport of snowboarding. The love and passion that Jake had for life and the spirit he embodied has influenced and paved the way for a global community of snowboarders that can now enjoy life to the fullest on mountain tops all over the planet. He wouldn't have had it any other way. Thank YOU Jake! ❄️🙏❄️

As the date approached, we spread the word to our NYC based snowboard community that we were going to head up North to link with our Vermont fam to get a few more days of what we thought would be some nice Spring riding. We were wrong. Jake and the #SnowGods had a different plan for us because we were gifted with over a foot of snow just in time for our arrival. We couldn't have timed it any better as the Green Mountains of Northern Vermont were painted white with a late season storm that started right as we left Brooklyn. The plan was to visit @boltonvalley , @stowemt and @jaypeakresort and our mission was accomplished. Our friends @ridevermont welcomed us with the finest hospitality and accommodations at each resort. Our crew consisted of a mix of New Yorkers and local Vermonters and it was a proper reunion! First stop was Bolton Valley for the @chillfoundation Takeover where we had lodging right at the base and the entire mountain to ourselves. The fresh powder seemed endless as parts of the mountain opened up right as the storm settled down so we got the goods! Next stop was Stowe for another powderific day of exploring and enjoying! We then made our way up to Jay Peak where the snow accumulated to a healthy total of 2+ feet overnight so the stashes were abundant there as well. What a trip! ☃️
