A small crew called Emzy that we hadn’t heard of recently sent us an Afton late-season edit. Low and behold it featured the riding of local-legend Ryan Paul plus the rest of the Emzy crew. Definitely a fun edit once you make it past the scary beginning. Just kidding guys, be sure to check out the rest of the Emzy blog after you get Gaga.
Finally, the Twin Cities area has had some decent enough weather (and even a little natural snow) for local resorts to make some white stuff. This weekend seems to be “the weekend” for local resorts such as Afton, Welch and Buck Hill to open, and a lot of people are excited. This weekend will be many rider’s first time out this season.
Other resorts that have been open, like Wild and Trollhaugen, will have more runs opening. A couple of the rideMinnesota guys are headed to late night Trollhaugen tonight for their 10pm to 3am session for $15.

Well it’s about that time of the year that the snowboarding buzz starts. You really know it’s almost time when the ski resorts start having their annual fall fairs. Afton’s fair and gear swap will be in early october this year.
