Celtek!!!

Finally! We have Celtek Gloves and Mittens on Rosa Snow!!! Truly stylin' ~ ya gotta see 'em!

Back in 2002 Bjorn and Erik Leines set out on a mission. One to deliver something to snowboarding directly from the source of pro snowboarding, passionately representing what they think and feel about the lifestyle they embrace.

With the help of like-minded individuals, artists, musicians, and fellow shredders, Celtek was created. Recently, the Celtek team has been expanded to include some of today's top female pros, and they bring a unique perspective to the girls' designs.

Gathering inspiration from our favorite female artists and team, we have created something truly unique and inspiring for any female rider as Celtek progresses into 2010. Blending creativity and technology to produce products that will not just perform well but help us all make the invisible visible.

"The invisible world is always where the visible originates."

International Ladies Shred Day

Coming to a city near you? We will have more information on this event... consider this a sneak peak and keep an eye out for an event in your state (or country!) To date events are confirmed in Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Colorado (Summit County), Washington (multiple locations), and Germany with more cities being added...

What started as “Girls Can Shred Too” day in the Midwest has evolved into an International event. Last year, over 75 women came out and became addicted to the sport and bought full snowboard set-ups before the season's end. This year, with one of the organizers moving to Germany, it seemed only natural to expand the event to a global scale. Organized by passionate snowboarders, the grass-roots event has gained the support of sponsors, shops and resorts in the U.S.A. and abroad. The event will be held on Saturday, January, 23, 2010 across the globe.

Ladies Shred Day is a non-competitive, day-long event focused on camaraderie and learning in a fun, supportive environment. The event invites women of all ages and all skill levels to participate, providing free female-friendly lessons, discounted lift-tickets and rentals, and the opportunity to meet other riders and learn more about snowboarding.

Head organizer, Kassandra Cassily, who has taught snowboard lessons in China, Michigan, and California started the event last season after noticing one consistent trend: guys always outnumber girls on the slopes. It seemed that most females couldn’t get past the first hard day on the slopes and were too self-conscious to learn with guys around. Kassandra noted, “Girls liked physic breakdowns of how the sport works and learned fastest when able to do flatland statics before trying things on slope, but most guys were pretty fine with more of a ‘monkey-see-monkey-do’ teaching technique.” Thus came the idea for the ideal girls only beginner snowboard day: “Our goal is to make the perfect day for girls to learn how to ride. We use the best teaching techniques and leverage off the girls’ energy and camaraderie to help them succeed.”

Holden Outerwear: An Eco-Friendlier Option on Rosa Snow

Now available and new to RosaSnow.com is Holden Outerwear. It was a no-brainer for us to carry Holden because not only do they put out a stellar product, the are eco-friendly, which is a huge deal for us at Rosa Snow. We absolutely adore their style and think the jackets make a great transition into streetwear, too!
Here's a little snippet about Holden's commitment to being an "eco-friendlier" company:

Evolving Our Environmental Commitment

Since its inception, Holden has operated from the inside out with environmental consciousness. From creating to improving upon the original "eco-friendlier" performance hemp-fiber to using the environmentally minded Schoeller C_Change 3-layer technology, we are 100% devoted to evolving the eco niche we helped pioneer.

Over the years, Holden has done more than simply establish a token "green collection" in our line - we've committed to making every single product possible with sustainability in mind. In fact, for 09/10 we've expanded our eco-minded technologies to 90% of the product line, including the lower price Holden Classics range. We make improvements absolutely anywhere we can, from implementing recycled zippers and insulation to automatically offering a DWR (a water-repellant fabric coating) that's PFOA-free (PFOA is a toxic byproduct of waterproofing materials). We even package our products in fully biodegradable, acetate ethylene bags.

However, we know producing anything creates some sort of waste along the way. All we can do is keep striving to be "eco friendlier" and partnering with vendors and retailers who are doing the same. Our consumers can still trust that when they buy Holden, they're getting real quality and supporting people who're doing the best they can to keep our environment a happy, healthy place.
