Scenes from day 2 in Las Vegas.

Ben Gavelda, the grom who won that ridiculously insane DC/Yamaha sled in the Transworld SNOWboarding contest stopped by the booth to give thanks, or to gloat, or perhaps a bit of both. “Hey Ben, can we take that thing out for a quick spin—to Utah—for the rest of the winter?”

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Technine owner and workaholic Ethan Fortier prepares to blow off some steam late in the day.

There’s something top-secret in JF Pelchat’s man purse over at the Iris booth. We can’t tell you what it is or he’d kill us—but it isn’t sunglasses.

DC Vice President of Communications and PR Kim Dresser with rail killa’ Aaron Biittner.

Erik Leines turned mountain man, or perhaps the long-lost Malloy brother. You know, those earthy surf dudes.

Transworld alum and 686 Director of Marketing Kristin Cusic with Doug Manson, Senior Graphic Designer, holdin’ down the 686 spot.

Bobby Meeks owning the Nike boot program. Nice work Bobbo!

Kurt Wastell is bringing back Solid snowboards along with OG owner Neil Rankin and Breckenridge stalwart Ron Bureta.

Capita owner Blue Montgomery posting up with the food court gangsta’.

Brad Sheuffel, formerly the world’s most limber professional snowboarder, is now dictating current and future global beanie fashion from Coal headquarters.

Three Tahoe kids getting weird on the ’tables at the Technine booth.

Nico Melendez used to bartend at Bricks back in the day and hence, the entire pro snowboard population of Utah owes him a debt of gratitude. Too many free drinks. Now he’s running a new startup called The Levitation Project—they make stylie first layers. Buy some long underwear and get him a drink.
