Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I present to you the coolest new project in snowboarding, Sofa King New England.

Tired of hiking that rail jam or planning your slopestyle run? Contests these days are always the same thing; do your trick and receive a score. This format unfortunately does not work for those who'd rather just hang out with friends and film a video part. There's always been that defining line between a contest-jock and the video-kid, you're usually one or the other.

Well that's what we're here to fix. We're taking the laid back approach of filming and combining it with the competitive aspects of a contest. No more pressure to stomp that trick first try. What we've produced is snowboarding's first video scavenger hunt.

Here's the break down:
  • Gather five of your friends to form your team. Each team will consist of four riders, one photographer, and one cinematographer. Twelve teams total.
  • Attend our kick off party January 10, 2009 at Crotched Mountain hosted by Playboy Energy Drink.
  • Take your FREE LIFT TICKETS and travel to Crotched Mountain, Mount Snow, Wachusett, Loon, and Waterville Valley anytime within our thirty day period to find and complete your secret list of objectives. Once you have received your list you have all day to complete as many objectives as possible. On this list you'll find missions such as frontboard the secret wood rail in the glades at Mount Snow, locate the hidden couch atop Loon, and jib an ancient t-bar from the old Crotched Mountain. In between mountains you will also have optional urban adventures to score even more points.
  • Once the thirty days are complete you will have a few weeks to edit all of your footage down to a thirty minute video to present to us. Each team must also present thirty of their best photos from that month.
  • A few more weeks will pass where we'll take all twelve videos and combine and compress them down into our own video which will be shown during the awards party at Loon Mountain.


MORE DETAILS TO COME SOON.
