Hey you guys looking for a new car to take you up to the mountains in 2010?
Mitsubishi has the car!!!
All wheel drive sports car that is built to be driven on snow.
This car comes with a turbo and is somewhat fuel efficient!
The Lancer Ralliart is built not to only drive on snow or ice but to race!
The best thing is in 2010 Mitsubishi is releasing its new model the sportback.
This as seen below is built with extra room and folding seats to hold more equipment.
Perfect size for your boards and equipment! No need to worry about fitting everything. You can take 3 people comfortably with one seat folded down for the boards and equipment. I have even seen the regular Lancers with snowboarding racks so you can take on more passengers!

This is what snowboarding is about! People really loving the sport! The good the bad and the ugly of snowboarding

Tall or big riders out there!!

For those riders who have large feet and need a larger board, GNU offers the solution, wide boards that are of good quality!!! They make boards that are fit for the pros, tricks, racing, and just cruising. I am a casual snowboarder. I just like to kick back relax and maybe go back trailing. My Gnu board fits my riding style perfectly and is able to hold my size 13 boot. My flow step in bindings finish the kick back style i have.





Gnu has something for everybody! Even tie-dye!

If you are looking for some good bindings the Flow NXT bindings are perfect! They are easy to use and never fail. Of the five years i have had these bindings i have never had them pop off on me; which i have experienced with other bindings.
