What magazine makes cows stampede to the newsstand? Cows-mopolitan! Another week, let's get into it.

Torment Weather Report: Consistent storm patterns have ended a five year drought in most reservoirs throughout Northern California. Now, "just 9% of California is still experiencing 'severe drought' conditions, down from almost 33% a month ago."

Also worth noting this before/after photo from an a condo complex in Kirkwood, CA. 648" of snowfall this season with a 200" base.

"Do you think we’ll break 800 this season?" Such a question only makes sense in the context of a Brighton Resort Instagram post celebrating 703" and counting.

Raw clips are the gift that keeps on giving. King Snow Mag has been repurposing footage from View From Nowhere over the last 3 weeks. At first it was just with Seb Picard, now it's Phil Carpentier + 8 others.

Couldn't have said it better ourselves. 90% sure this is a comment from Loser Lap, but go rewatch to make sure. 

Mark McMorris' full part from ARK has landed on his YouTube. Another heavy backcountry part from Sparky, with some A$AP Ferg to accompany all the BC footage.

Hypebeast just released the 2023 World Happiness Report. "This year, Finland topped the list as the happiest country for the sixth consecutive year, while several Nordic countries followed closely behind, including Denmark (second place) and Iceland (third place)." We like to think this is largely in part to Helsinki's snowboard scene.

Dustbox update via Kaishu Hirano. Seemingly all-around good times in Japan.

Red Bull Slide in Tour hit Boreal in full effect, as seen through Grace Warner's Instagram story. The perfect compliment to her footage in the new Day In, Day Out from Heavy Metal.

"$40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!!" Jess Kimura and the rest of the Uninvited crew announced the dates for the first ever Uninvited Invitational. April 13-16 at Woodward Tahoe.
