White Noise – Crystal Castles

Toronto based experimental electronic duo Crystal Castles got a big break when a recording of a studio microphone test ended up online. The recording ended up being their debut single Alice Practice and was released back in 2006 on Merok Records. They’ve had much more success in Europe and the UK than back home.

The first single show the chaotic glitch/chip tune/sampling side of the band with lead singer Alice’s much more aggressive vocals. Other songs tend to be much tamer, but still use a high level of sampling and low-fi sound an vocals.

Its easy to be turned off when you first hear this band, especially if you are not into electronic or experimental music. If you do end up liking this band, you may follow them like a cult.

Peak Profiles – Mount Snow

Located in southern Vermont and boasting 80 trails and 520m of vertical drop, Mount Snow operates inside the Green Mountain National Forest.

Mount Snow has been good to skiboarding in the past and present, especially to those who focus their riding on the terrain parks. Some of you may have seen some crazy high flying Revel8 riders clearing huge jumps last season, well that was shot in one of their 12 parks located on the Carinthia slope side, totally dedicated to freestyle terrain parks since 2008.

Most of their 588 acres of skiable terrain is made up of intermediate runs, with most black runs on the north face. One day at Mount Snow will cost you about $70 in lift tickets, but it may well be worth the penny pinching.
