MGT Snowboard Camp for Girls

Heyo!
Just a lil’ update from Mt. Hood! Last week was my signature session at High Cascade, as well as the women’s k2 alliance product testing week. It was awesome to check out the new line for 2011. There’s definitely some sick product that I can’t wait to get on! We’ll be shooting the catalog with the K2 team in Chile coming up in August…so not too many sleeps to go and we’ll be shredding some deep pow and getting some soul turns in. Yes!

So back to HCSC…one of my favorite features at high cascade was the airbag. I was pretty skeptical of the whole idea when it came out because I’d heard of so many people getting hurt. I passed by a bunch of campers so unbelievably stoked that they’d gotten all these tricks they’d been working on, so I figured I might as well give it a go. It didn’t seem like many people were getting hurt, and I saw some carnage go down! One of my first tries I rotated a backflip so slowly that I had time to visualize everything possible that was going to go wrong before my face hit the bag. And all I got was a bruised ego. So…from there, I decided that this was a good thing for my snowboarding. I’m getting to work on some tricks that I haven’t had the chance to try in awhile.

Check out what I've been up to in January!

Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes With Cranberry Maple Syrup

These dense and delicious pancakes are topped with a sweet and tangy sauce made by simmering cranberries in maple syrup.

Coming off a strong 2008-09 winter season with ender in the latest chick flick Stance,  Raewyn Reid is looking to the stars.  In fact, we have a picture below with her favorite Hollywood Star, Paula Abdul.  

1. The book of awesome. I got this as a present and for every book purchased, another book is donated to schools, libraries, hospitals, shelters and camps worldwide.  It's a read for all ages and gives some inspirational thoughts to our dreams. Check it:  http://www.veryawesomeworld.com/

2. Holiday Baking. So good for friends and family when funds are low. You can get the clear wrapping paper and some cardboard to wrap it up nicely.  Here's a good recipe to my favorite Shortbread cookies. I like to dip them in chocolate! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Shortbread-Cookies-II/Detail.aspx  Another one is Chocolate Truffles: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chocolate-truffles-recipe/index.html

Recipe 1:
So I decided to make dinner for some friends and found a great recipe online.  This is by far the best Indian Curry dish I've cooked so far.

I went to an indian grocery to get all the authentic spices, which is really important.  Especially the star anise, which I used in powdered form, and the cinnamon stick.  These two ingredients make it a bit more sweet, and oh so delightful. Get the entire recipe here.

I thought opening day was sick, but I guess another 3 feet won't be bad either! Check it!
