We'll be there Monday August 26-Wednesday August 28 talking about our club, trips, and other reasons why you guys should join (and maybe giving away some free stuff).

Stay posted for info about our first meeting and some other start-of-school events .. I heard some talk about a dance partay... 

First off, I would to thank everyone who came on the hayride, hope you all enjoyed it. We were the biggest crowd they've ever had there and hopefully we can make it even better next year.

Now for the big news, Tussey Mountain is pushing really hard to take their park to the next level. In doing so they went out and purchased a handful of rails from Ski Roundtop. Also, WE (the team) will be personally helping Curtis Harrison , their groomer, with builds and other aspects of the park. Here is a quick pic of the rails from Roundtop.

You can check out the Tussey Mountain Terrain Park group on facebook for future updates. The season is right around the corner!

We will be giving away some free gear from the club and sponsors and will let you know about the video premieres, giveaways, hayride, and office hours coming up. See you all Thursday! It will be the best club meeting you have all year.

This is the third year that PSSC has been involved in THON, and the first year we’ve ever had a THON Family! Trevor Hart (15 years old) and his family found out back in August that Trevor had developed Leukemia. Having a THON child really motivated the PSSCers to raise more money than we ever have: $17,317.61 for a school-wide total of over $9.5 million.

We had a great run this year and had a really great time getting to know each other during both canning and THON weekends. All of our dedicated members were truly amazing, and a special mention should be made for our dancers Molly Reese and Julie Baker. We all look forward to next year!

If interested in helping participate with THON next year, please contact Sarah Hefner at shefner22@gmail.com.

There will be a meeting tomorrow evening (Thurs - 2/17) in 260 Willard from 7:00 - 8:00 PM for those interested in signing up for the Stowe Vermont Trip.

As you've obviously noticed by now, the PSSC site got a bit of a facelift last weekend. I've been working for a couple months on the new design and features. For the most part, everything will be similar to what you are used to. I've added a few new features to the homepage and extended the left sidebar to every page of the site. You'll notice a revamped video section and a brand new Inbox for managing your site messages. 

As part of finishing up the new site, I wrote a blog post over on my personal blog outlining some of the improvements that were made to the site. If you're interested, head over to http://plzkthxbai.com/ to read about the new site!

On Thursday Feb 25th  we are doing our first annual Dudes and Tubes night.  A magical trip to TUSSEY, where everyone rides tubes and dudes all night long.  Bring as many friends as you want, everyone is invited.  Its $10/person.  Come to the first meeting on Feb 11th to sign up and get more details.

So normally Art does our edits for us. But while sitting around with the girls, Steve decided to make an edit from a day at Big Boulder.  Besides stealing a previously used song (sorry Deen and Colin) it's pretty good.  It starts Steve "Stacy" Weatherly, Alex Wyzaldjkkiaoiski and Aaron Zook.  Check it out brah.  

Boulder Busters 3/28 from Steven Weatherly on Vimeo.

My Dearest Club Members,

As you all may know, the recent economy has caused many struggles for many people.  Workers are getting laid off, and its harder for college grads to get a job than ever.  For many of us who are currently enrolled at a University, we may sometimes think that we are immune to the economy.  Well it turns out that is not completely true.  The economy has shown its wrath on us all.

So to cut to the point - and I deeply regret saying this - but it looks like there will no longer be a snowboard club at Penn State next year.  To be honest, we have seen this coming for awhile and we have tried to do everything in our power to fix the solution.  We even set up a hearing at club sports and asked for a buyout.  Erin rejected us just like Andre Iguodala on Jimmy Fallon. Well, the pork barrell spending is over.  The fact is there simply isn't any more money to support Penn State's biggest club sport. 

If there is a silver lining in all of this terrible news, it's that we managed to ensure that all of this year's officers will get their bonuses.

Sincerely,

Alex Wyczalkowski

PS. April Fools

Here's a quick little buster edit of the team from Big Boulder a week or so ago.  Thanks to my dude Colin for making it!  It's pretty silly but check out all the dudes gettin weird.  We'll be putting up little things like this throughout the season.  Get ready for Tremblant dudes!

Hey dudes. I emailed some busters about this but if you never sent me your email, team tryouts will be this Sunday the 28th at Big Boulder.  We will meet at noon at the bottom of Freedom Park (all the way to the right looking up at the mountain).  Look for all the dudes just standing around in tight pants.  We will lap the park and maybe hike a rail for an hour or so.  Pretty straightforward, but email me if you have any questions (jef5061@psu.edu).  Weather shouldn't be an issue, but if it looks like we won't be going I will post something Saturday night.  See you all Sunday.  Get loose!

John

The departure time for Tremblant has changed:

2:00AM on Sunday January 4th.

This means you want to be in State College the night of Saturday January 3rd.  This will make it easier for anyone who was trying to find a place to crash Saturday night.  Plus its easier for you college kids to stay up till 2am rather than wake up before 5am.

Parking at East Halls Parking Deck - January 4-10.

Cost is $15. You must get a pass from us before we leave on the trip. Contact me over the break and I can get you a pass January 3rd before we depart.

Alex
amw5000@psu.edu

Hey dudes,

All the info you need for Tremblant is posted on the trips page.  www.thepssc.com/trips

Alright dudes, so I blew it this weekend and dropped the video camera case on my toe and couldn't snowboard at all in Killington.  I know this screwed up tryouts a little bit.  I heard some of you busters rode with the team for a while in the park though.  If you were one of those kids, or if you couldn't find anybody and just said fuck it, or whatever (basically, if you're still interested in the team), email me with your name and whatnot, and we are going to work out a day to all ride together at Big Boulder over Christmas break so we can get this stuff all settled.  The team will be decided before the Tremblant trip for sure though, we're not doing tryouts there.  Let me know dudes.

The Penn State Snowboard Club is hooking up you guys again.  Looks like that $40 you paid at the beginning of the semester is a steal. This is a legit store that carries a lot of the same brands that sponsor us like Forum, Foursquare, Special Blend, Electric and more. 

So this deal is open to all club members.  The deal days are December 2-6th (Thurs-Sun), and you will get 20% off all items.  Read closely, as this is going to work differently for everyone depending on whether or not your are coming to Killington.

Club Members coming to Killington:
We will be stopping at Darkside Snowboard Shop during our stay at Killington.  Everyone with a Penn State ID will receive 20% off anything in in the store.  We may or may not do a shuttle with our charter bus Saturday evening, depending on our bus situation.  Either way, there are village shuttles that go from our condos into town so you can stop by yourself. 

Everyone Else:
We will give you a promotional code that you can use on their website, www.darksidesnowboards.com. Once you check out the website and get the code, you can purchase anything online for 20% off on December 2-6th.`

Last Friday night the team took a trip to the Univ. of Pitt campus to compete in their annual preseason rail jam.  There were dudes everywhere.  The set up was a double line, with a corrugated pipe pole-jam and an up-down box.  Lots of weird tricks and weird falls went down.  Club member Magy placed 3rd for the chicas, and none of the dudes placed because we decided to leave before finals. Oops.  Check out the photo gallery for some sick photos by Michelle Wagner.  Dudes dudes dudes!

Transworld Snowboarding recently put out their yearly resort rankings. Most notably, Mont Tremblant received the #1  Ranking for nightlife in North America.  (Hey, isnt that where were going in January??).  Pretty amazing, I was suprised myself.  They were even ranked above Whistler-Blackcomb.  They also were ranked #3 park on the East Coast.  Other resorts getting love, Big Boulder got #5 park in East Coast and Seven Springs got #5 Pipe on the East Coast. 

For all the rankings check out www.twsnow.com, or pick up a magazine at Appalachian Outdoors.

Hey kids,

TREMBLANT (Jan 4-9): $200 deposit due Thurs NOV 13

So call your parents now and beg for money so you can have a rad time with us. Come to Killington if your looking for a long weekend trip, Tremblant for a 6 day Canadian Collegefest, or both if your really super cool.

This past Sunday, the team headed out to Woodward to do some skating and check out these weird new things called rollerboards.  Thanks to former PSSC President and now Woodward employed Kyle Barnoff, the team was able to have one of the buildings all to themselves. Along with the plethora of skate features, there was also a foam pit where they tried out some flips, spins, twirls, and grabs.

The rollerboards are kinda like a skateboard but it has bindings so it feels alot like a snowboard.  

All in all a pretty sweet day.  Stay tuned this winter for when the team starts thowing down their tricks on snow.

Check out all of the photos on our gallery page.

The 2007-08 PSSC video has been completed and is available in the Media Section. 

Check it out: It's All Happening

Individual parts are also available.

Hey! For all of you who didn't make it out to Big Boulder Park today, you really missed out! Big Boulder pulled out all the stops to throw down an amazing day for everyone! They had a 20' jump, 11 rails/boxes, and a rhythm section with another 6 or so small hits. Loads of fireworks, Red Bull, a live DJ, and the skate ramp added to the overall vibe. Check out a few pictures from the event! I'll be posting a full gallery & article link in a few days!

Your 2008-09 Penn State Snowboard Club Officers are as follows:

Congratulations to the new officers, and thanks to everyone who made it out for elections!

The next PSSC meeting will be held March 20th at 8:30 pm in 111 Chambers. This meeting is mandatory for club members attending the Sugarbush trip on March 28-30. Check the trip page for more information regarding the trip. We will also be discussing the upcoming elections. Most of the officer positions will be opening up, so be sure to come to the meeting if you are interested in running.

• The game will began with all players in position touching their respective back walls/line.  At sound of the whistle, players will rush to the center to pick up the dodgeballs.  The balls must then be touched to the back wall/line before being thrown at the opposing team.
• To eliminate a player you must hit him/her with a ball or catch a ball he/she has thrown before the ball has touched the floor or walls.  A throw that hits more than one player before touching the ground or wall or being caught eliminates all hit players and the thrower shall be regarded as AWESOME! 
• Once a player is hit he/she must sit on the sidelines for the remainder of the round. 
• If a player catches a live ball, the thrower is “out” and everyone hit by the thrown ball remains “in”. Also, any player from the catcher’s team may reenter the game. Players must reenter in the order in which they were eliminated.
• Players may leave their court to retrieve loose balls.  They may reach over center line, but no part of their body may touch their opponents side of the court. Violators are ELIMINATED!!!
• A match will consist of three rounds; best of three wins the match. The team who eliminates all of their opponents wins the round.

Most importantly, there is no crying in dodgeball.  We are all adults and are able to withstand mild shots to the head with small, FOAM balls.  Because we are no longer in 6th grade, HEAD SHOTS COUNT!

The NADA insists all contestants show respect to and obey the referees at all times.  They are there to ensure the safety of all players, and to do otherwise would be really really lame.  

CYA SATURDAY 

There will be a Dodgeball Tournament on Saturday March 1st at 9:00pm in the White Building. It will be teams of 5, $20 per team. Costumes/Themes required.

Hey Everyone! It's been awhile since we really updated the site. I've got some big updates for you today! I've added a new media section which features (for now) the old video section as well as a brand new photo section. We've got 6 new galleries posted up in there and will continue to add more photos as the year goes on. Hope you like all the new media! I'll leave you with a tip for viewing the photos... If you would like to view the photos as a slideshow, click on the first thumbnail. Once the popup window opens you can mouseover the top right part of the image and you should see "Next". Clicking that will take you through the entire gallery without making you go back to the thumbnails. Hope that helps!

You can still sign up for the Quebec City trip!  Deposits are due by THURSDAY NOVEMBER 29

Just bring your money to office hours when we get back to school: Wednesday & Thursday 8:30-9:30, but we'll be in GEARY Hall up in East so that everyone can their boards waxed for Killington

They also posted on their site that they got some natural snow today too! Things are looking up. Head over to the Killington website for more information. Also, don't forget to pay your FINAL Killington payment on Thursday 11/8 in office hours. As usual, we will been in our office (319 HUB) from 8:30 until 9:30 or so.

We will be having our second meeting of the semester on Thursday, October 11th at 8:30pm. This meeting will be held in 112 Kern building. Kern is across Curtain Rd. from the Library and next to Chambers.  This meeting we will go over more details about the trips (specifically Killington because it's coming up!!). Don't miss this meeting! We'll see you there.

As you know, all club members who paid dues will be getting a long sleeved club tee shirt within the next couple of weeks. We have a couple designs already, but are looking for better ones. In the past we have reached out to the club members and they have provided some really sick graphics. So, all of you graphic designers out there sharpen your pencils (or your Photoshop skillz...) and let's see what you've got!

Okay so here are the rules:

1. You must include "Penn State Snowboard Club" somewhere on the design.
2. You should try to use "PSSC" somewhere on the design as well. (Not Required though...)
3. Keep it classy. We can't get vulgar or obscene designs printed so just keep it clean.

You can turn in the design anyway you'd like, but ideally if you could provide a digital copy (Photoshop file, scanned drawing, etc) that would be great.

Email all designs to me at jason@roundtopriders.com

Deadline: All submissions are due by November 1st. 

Come by our brand new office this week to pay dues, hand in forms, or just hang out.

319 HUB

8:30 - 9:30

Wednesday & Thursday 9/26 & 27 

Just wanted to remind everyone that Thursday 9/13 will be our first big meeting of the year. Make sure you come out at 8:30pm tomorrow to 119 Osmond to hear about the events we have planned.

As stated before, this meeting will be your opportunity to meet the officers, find out about club events/trips for this upcoming season, and learn more about the club. We'll cover things like club dues, what you get when you join, how often we ride, and much more.

It's always the best meeting of the year, so make sure you get off the couch and show up! You won't want to miss it..

See you all tomorrow! 

We've all seen the emergence of many snowboarding trends.  Lift lines are waist deep in over sized pants and basketball jerseys.  Tall T's are literally flying off the rack at Wal-Mart.  Girls are knitting their friends tons of colorful hats.  Pants are getting so tight that they're cutting off circulation to the brain.  And iRide playlists are killing the art of chairlift conversation. <some of the populars 

As we approach  the upcoming season, i can't help but wonder what sort of self expression will next materialize into some form of riding gear.  

Hi! Most of you probably stopped by our booth at the Involvement Fair today in the Hub. Thanks for everyone who stopped by and signed up for our listserv. We will be emailing you, as well as posting the information on this website, as soon as we get a date for the first meeting. It should be within a week or two.

Also, please sign up with our website and fill out your contact information and your profile. You will be able to specify if your contact information is public or private, so please fill out all information so the club has it on file. It's important that you register with our website because we will be using the site to sign up for trips and events this season.

Thanks again for stopping by, and we can guarantee you'll have SO much fun with the club. See ya! 

First, I would like to thank everyone who voted me for president last year.  However, I have resigned my position to Art McNulty.  The decision was thoughtfully made by the current officers and chairs.  Help me congratulate Art as the new PSSC pres!

I am sure some of you have questions about my resignation...  which stems from my goal to search for a new career.  I loved the position last year, and I had a ton of fun learning about the organization and how it worked.  I was lucky to have a great 'round-table' of  enthusiastic officers last year who were happy to throw a bunch of events.  I was even more stoked to run the club this year, but in fear of pro ski-blading being my most legitimate career choice, I have decided to step down.

So I am kinda eavesdropping on Jason's new feature, and not allowing him room to take credit, but I wanted to try and move our healthy conversations over to the Officer's Forum.  The forum will be more secure and will keep a good long term record.

If Jason is upset with my claim of his own feature, I am sure he could p3wn me like a n00b by deleting this post quick, and replace it with a l3git claim of his own...quick. 

Stadium clean-up is on the Sunday morning after the football games. I've done it before and I think we had to report to the stadium around 7am and were done at 11ish? I kind of forget, but that at least gives you an idea.

Any word on if we'll be able to do the ticket scanning job again? That was pretty sweet... since it doesn't involve soggy nachos.

Hey Everyone,

I'm so stoked to see that you have all begun using the site so heavily over the past week or two. It's amazing to see how quickly it picked up! I wanted to let you know of a few features that I have rolled out over the past 2 days. I think you have probably seen a few of them, but I wanted to point them out in case you missed them. I have added a more robust profile/contact information system. There is now 2 parts to the "profile". The actual profile, which has information that everyone can see, and then there is the contact information. This contact information is designed primarily for club use and for our records. However, I have made the option of making ur contact information "public" so that others on the site can see. I have also added the ability to have icons, which will eventually be used in the new forums that I hope to build shortly. You can upload your own icon from your My PSSC page. 

    I have also added the headlines archive, where you can view all of the old news entries. I have added the Message History area where you can see a history of all your messages (sent and received) since you created your account. I will be enhancing this area shortly so that you can do sorting and filtering on your messages.

    Lastly, i have added a Club Members page which lists all of hte members currently enrolled on our site. You can view this by checking out the  bottom of the online list (Under Newest Members) you should see a "See All" link. Click that.

    As always, please try to use firefox when browsing the site for the time being. I have been working hard to get better support for IE7 and IE6 but it's not really there yet. 

    Thanks for everything and I hope you guys and girls are enjoying the new site so far!

LATEEE 

Help me come up with some ideas for stuff to do this year.

shall we start making some concrete plans for the involvement fair since its the 1st week of classes?  some of the ideas thrown around earlier in the summer sounded pretty good.

and are we still having doing the picnic thingy with the wakeboard club?  are they organizing & we're just inviting or should we take the responsible & proactive role?

What do you all think so far? Let's hear it!
