Glad to see the first stop of ESL went well at Holiday Valley, I know those guys work hard and it looked great.

big boulder PARK is super pumped to get our parks ready for some steamy slides, lofty airs, hooting and hollering that goes along with this amazing contest series.

I am feeling very long winded today so I will stop before this becomes an essay of random thoughts.

I will do my best to keep you updated on our stop on Feb 4th.

Beyond the normal stuff we do to prep for the season we are just plain old FIRED UP to make some turns!

If you are dying to ride wax your board or strap in and jump around your living room. I did this morning it was awesome.

So throughout the course of the season , we’ll use this blog to hype people, places, or things that the Eastern Snowboard League is backing. For the first feature, I decided to catch up with Matt Bothfeld (Matty B., Hard Bodies, Bistro’s Bistro etc.) one of the bro’s (er creative visionaries) behind EAST Snowboard Magazine. This project is particularly interesting to me, having grown up reading Eastern Edge, and other similar DIY shred mags. Born from the remnants of ECS, these guys have a full head of steam heading into their first year. With that said, here are a few words from Matt…

What is EAST?
- EAST was an idea that some friends and myself had. After East Coast, left the scene a couple years ago, we all thought that the East was missing their own core snowboard mag. Steez is not cutting it! Our mag is truly going to be EAST coast. Only featuring photo’s, riders, and locations from the East!

Who is EAST?
- Well, there are the big 4 (Greg Furey, Tanner McCarty, Owen Ringwall & myself), but really EAST is a ton of people. In order to do what we want to do, we have people helping us out from NJ, PA, NY, MA, CT, VT, NH, RI & ME!

Where was the idea for EAST born?
- The idea came from long nights up at HCSC (High Cascade Snowboard Camp). We all love snowboarding so much, and we all want to do something in the industry that has a purpose & give back to snowboarding what we’ve got from it. So we created an opportunity for ourselves and made EAST.

There are a lot of blogs, zines, websites, mags etc. out there. What will set EAST apart from the rest
- Well I’d say just the content. We’ve seen a lot of regurgitated information out there, whether it’s edits or content. Both with the Mag and website, we hope to have all original content and just do things a little different. We are also taking a more edgy look into the content, I get a lot of my ideas from Mags like Low Card, the old Eastern Edges and Slap Magazine.

What’s the plan for year one? Number of issues, features, etc?
- I think this year we are going to try and put out 3 issues. As far as features, we are going have some good ass shit! How’s that? (haha)

Shout Outs?
- Everyone I know, 666, C.P.U, the Devil, Blkbeard and The Word Sauce Nation!

In the last few weeks, we’ve tweeted, s’updated, emailed, and texted our asses off to get everything hammered out with ESL… Heck, one time we even got on the phone with each other (weird, right?)
One of the things we were stoked to dial in, was Snowboarder Magazine becoming the official media partner for the Eastern Snowboard League… This is huge, and it allows us to align ourselves with one of the premier media outlets on the market…
AND- they’re ponying up a slot in Superpark 15, for the Destroyer Division champ of ESL… can you believe that? someone from the Mid Atlantic (but STILL the east coast) is going to be representing so hard in Mammoth come next May… is it going to be you?
Anyhow, here is a link to the first of many ESL press releases over at Snowboard Magazine:
