By the time you're reading this, the votes have begun to come in and the fate of America is in limbo between good vs. evil (just our opinion, maaan.) Now one thing is for sure, we aren't thrilled with this old head Biden, but here at Torment we stand for science, climate change prevention, and LGBTQ+ rights. A woman is to make her own choice on her body, and our public lands are to be protected and available to–you know–the fucking public. Anyway, tensions are high, businesses are boarded and by this time next week we hope we aren't surrounded by civil unrest. If you're at all worried and want to take your mind off it, we have the perfect amount of now seemingly less important snowboard news below. Enjoy.

And here is Baden again, bigger and better:
