It's February folks. We're in the thick of it, and, while we should've expected it by now, here at Torment it's been none stop traveling. Mostly east coast, some west coast, and maybe some Euro love if we're lucky? Nonetheless, we're taking some time out of this packed month to give you some updates in our eventful snowboard world.

SPOTHEADS' esteemed female counterpart had a hell of a season. This was particularly evident through her standout part in the Uninvited 3, where she embodied the blood, sweat, and tears that the movie was founded on—Jess is surely proud. But, just in case you missed it, her loving brother decided to remix her clips for our viewing pleasure. Thanks for that, Joey. Now we can watch her terrorize iconic spots like the Burlington High DFD.

Salomon kept it low key, but today they revealed the ins and outs of their prototyping process through an audio-visual gift titled 2021 Hillside Projects.

The 14-minute doc follows Wolle Nyvelt's creative approach to board design over the years, where he brings in Josh Dirksen, Victor Daviet, and Max Buri to test his shapes in various conditions.

Simply put, "The Hillside Project Series is a continuous pursuit in the development of authentic powder shapes, designed to reflect diversity in terrain, snow, and riding style. This is our vision of powder riding."

From the looks of it, Denver and the Mid West might be in for some snow. Looking like rain for the east coast. Kudos to the Dust Box for already being in Ohio...it's almost like they're prophetic or something.

Europe will hopefully reap the benefits of this storm too, as it looks like this snowfall will continue into the outskirts of Western Europe.

Vintage Sponsor's winter drop has hit the web. Don't all rush to the site at once...Here's a few of our favorite pieces.
