Mother of all hybrid sports
What do you get when you mix up paragliding, mountain biking and snowboarding? The...ummm... hangboard. If looking like a quadriplegic wasn't enough, this contraption may actually make you one. Something about going down a mountain head first just doesn't sit well with me.
"The Lamborghini of Snowboards"
The limited production Cheetah Ultra Sports Whip FR-117 clearly derived its styling from the F-117 Nighthawk. Even if this thing rides like a POS, you can always stand there and look like a top gun of the mountain. Available here.
Talk to the Hand
If tele-conferencing & boarding at the same time is something you plan to do, Swany made a glove for you.
Swany® g.cell Cellphone Ski/Snowboard Glove
Wearable technology is the latest story in the ski, snowboard and winter sports glove business.
Swany has developed the first hands-free cellphone ski and snowboard glove.
The g.cell glove has a fully-integrated Bluetooth adaptable cell phone in a totally functional ski and winter sports glove.
Features:
• Incoming calls detected by vibrating wrist action — push on back of hand to receive call
• Recharger included — phone will last for 12 hours on standby; 4 hours talk time
• Insulated water-repellent outer shell for hours of warm dry use
• Speaker and microphone integrated into palm and thumb
• Call-out voice command dial system
We all live in a yellow submarine
This gas powered contraction looks more yellow submarine than snowboard. Powered by a 6.5 hp engine with a claimed max speed of 18 mph. Available here.
Freaky Freezies
While the 80's may have spawned a whole bunch of really bad fads like spandex, legwarmers, feathered hair and Miami vice fashion, I'm still hoping they bring these back.
Burton X8
Burton X8. "Twin-tipped and buttery with all the premium tech, the X8™ unites skate-style fun with the speed, precision, and weight-savings expected of our highest-end decks. The Living Color graphics transform as temps drop, while the Channel opens your mind to unlimited stance possibilities."

Put on your shit kickers and kick some shit
2009 Burton Ion Boot. NEW EST™ midsole lowers your center of gravity for a closer connection with your board, while NEW RX Adjustable Cushioning lets you switch your suspension between the cush of gel or the responsiveness of air. Burton even shrunk the boot’s footprint by one full size, eliminating overhang forever. The bar’s been officially raised.
Keepin' up with the Jones'
This is one bad ass truck to put your winter gear in.
Powered by an enhanced version of the Cayenne S's 4.8-liter V-8 with 400 ponies, the GTS is a distinctly sport-flavored model with a tightened chassis, electronic dampers, an air suspension and stability-control system as standard. Other features separating this truck from that plain ole' vanilla Cayenne S are multispoke 21-inch wheels, rear spoiler, sporty bodywork and cool quad tailpipes.

Can't find enough time to watch your porn and hit the slopes? Burton solved your woes with the 2009 Burton Love described by Burton as a deck on the market for someone who’s looking to score serious action, no matter where they like to stick it, enjoys laps through the park and long, hard grinds on meaty Park Edges followed by a good, hot waxing.
Finishing Touches
What wood cabin would be complete without a mounted moose head? I always wondered how much a moose head cost. Now I know...a cool $5,500. Before all you PETA freaks out there jump on me, you can relax: I don't own a cabin.

2009 Burton Vapor
For all the haters that heckle this deck as all tech and hype, stop lying to yourself. If you had the bank, you'd get one too. MSRP $999.
Burton. "Designers and engineers stayed up late sweating every detail of the Vapor™—arguing over grams, literally peeling apart countless proto decks to fight for every ounce of untapped performance. The result is a smoke-weight snowboard so technologically refined it erases the line between mind and mountain."
This is what you get for some serious coin.
