Hi, Core Girl (Team Rider) Erin here….
The winter season officially kicked off the year with an early opening at Arapahoe Basin, Colorado and since then, resorts around the West have opened their lifts,trails, and terrain parks to many avid skiers and riders. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Despite some of the earliest openings for Colorado resorts, the Rocky Mountains have been void of snow for a month now. Major resorts such as Vail, Park City, and Deer Valley have delayed their openings due to a lack of that fluffy white stuff. This La Nina year (or the impact of Global warming - depending on your views) is certainly causing many ski and ride activists to go a little stir crazy.
Yessssah….. the Winter Fashion Flurry is so near!! YAH… Pro women’s skate exhibition by Cara Beth Burnside and Mimi Knoop , Runway Fashion show featuring the amazing upcoming lines for the ‘07-’08 Winter, and Concert by Dressy Bessy!! Wahhhhhh! It is going to be so amazing. We are so excited about the event and about the fact that all proceeds go to benefit non-profits. Pachaaaa! that is super — we are praising ULLR and in the mean time getting jazzed for winter with our Winter Fashion Flurry - get excited!!!!!! 
And see everyone there!
So there’s a lot of hype out there about this season’s upcoming outerwear - all the brands have stepped it up a level for both skiers and snowboarders alike. Some brands are offering over-the-top loud prints in retro colors and some brands are offering pieces that look straight off the winter-wear catwalks in NY or Paris.

So we Core girls went to Boardfest to check out the scene and the all-girls action sports and empowerment festival - over labor day weekend on the Huntington Beach Pier. With clinics, contests, concerts and exhibitions, we figured it was going to be a great, fun-filled and exciting fest! While the theory and philosophy behind the event is amazing - we were a bit disappointed at the turn out of people and the quality of the exhibitions.
What an amazing, fun day at Denver Skate Park… about 30 girls showed up to Core’s first all girls event! It was so awesome to see girls of all ages and all abilities out there skating together! So thanks to everyone who came out. Can’t wait until next time!!
With the biggest prize purse ever in women’s skate - $20k for 1st, $15k for 2nd, and $10k for 3rd, the ladies brought it at women’s street comp at the X-Games!! So stoked about such a showing - finally much of the Alliance’s work is paying off - in getting girls recognized and seen out there skating - though not all televised - :(. Still there is much progress and our hats go off to the ladies of the Alliance, and to the up-and-comers ripping it up… RAH!!
So, here’s the official results…

Just a little something on my mind. Lis and I were at a skateshop (that will remain nameless) the other day - and I went up to the counter to ask the guy something. He looked at me, paused, and five seconds later said - “Ummm…You Skate?” Like I was in the wrong country, speaking the wrong language. Continue reading ‘You Skate?’
