Only feels right to be wedged above a Vans sticker. Hopefully that's all the context you needed, but we wouldn't blame you if your eyes still had some trouble tracking us down. Another hefty week, let's get into it.

Torment Weather Report: Northern Utah braces for more flooding as Salt Lake declares state of emergency. Can't say we're surprised. This was definitely on the back burner of our minds after witnessing this years snowfall. An often overlooked residual of spring warming.

With imminent flooding, it's hard not to be brought back to the floods of 1983. A comparable winter where State Street turned into a river. Probably one of the only other times that the Salt Lake City Public Works Department felt this concerned.

The Trifiro brothers have been biking around the greater Quebec area for years now, and their past projects (A Bicycle Tempo + The Bicycle Project) are a testament to the accessibility a bicycle can provide. Sometimes a van and generator isn't the answer...clips can also be the product of a day well spent on two wheels.

Their latest endeavor is another testament to their creativity, with a new YouTube channel dedicated to their transition from snowboarding to music due to multiple head injuries. The band, "Pas Si Vite", just dropped a music video for their latest song, Why Not NOW, while also offering up some snowboard clips to compliment another tune, PREF À MAMAN.

2023 Snow Globes shipping update. An eventful end to the day at the warehouse, but it adds to the mystery of what winner will be inconvenienced. The rest of the awards will be announced throughout the week, with Parts of the Year on Wednesday, Videos of the Year on Thursday, and Photograph/Advocate of the Year on Friday.

Two events went down last weekend, both of which catered to an overwhelmingly amount of tricks, sunny skies, and friendship. Dustbox's Be Somebody event + The Uninvited Invitational.
