We’re feeling completely refreshed after watching episode 2 of the Roxy Refreshments. In this episode you’ll see Team Riders Torah Bright, Erin Comstock, Kjersti Buaas, and Aimee Fuller on an epic team trip to Revelstoke and Retallack Lodge, British Columbia – we’re still at home wishing we could partake in this snowy adventure.  Watch as these girls take a heli-ride, make their own jumps, get warm by the fire and have a few goofy moments along the way. Did we mention the music alone makes us want to get up and ride. Add this to your next pow playlist: Hesta Prynn Le Cox Aux Folles.

Sarah, you inspire us to dream big and follow our hearts. You are a superwoman and a fighter. From everyone here at Roxy, we love you with all our heart! Please join us in sending your love and support to Sarah.

A message to Sarah Burke on behalf of Bob McKnight:

What do you do to keep your face protected on the mountain?
I wear a neck warmer, Roxy makes some really nice ones that you can hide from the cold with style. And I also use SPF 25 sunscreen.

What item do you consider your must-have on the hill?
Music. My phone or a shuffle. I put a good playlist on so I can jam out. Everything from really cruise-y music to upbeat. Music inspires me to try something that I’m scared of.

Tell us something that would surprise us about yourself?
I use a reusable glass coffee mug with a glass straw to protect my teeth from the coffee staining.

@ajuthe asked: What’s your favorite part about snowboarding? and what is your fav trick? i’m going to guess air to fakie in the pipe!
I love air-to-fakies. But now my favorite trick is a backside 5 on a jump, it feels really good in the air.

@adribbby asked: How do you manage to snowboard so long without freezing?!
I wear wool first layers, even wool underwear. Growing up in Norway I learned a lot about this. They even have bras made of wool. Don’t use cotton because that will make you colder. Roxy has a lot of good fleece options. And foot warmers, the ones with the rechargeable batteries are good.

@ibisssx3 asked: Where’s you favorite place to snowboard at?
Wherever there’s good snow. I like the Breckenridge and Keystone parks, and Tahoe and Northstar is great in the spring. Norway has some cools spots, and Japan for powder.

@kiranapiranha asked: If you couldn’t snowboard for a living, what would you be doing instead?
I would be a teach of some sort. I love kids and I like to teach people things. …And if I could choose a talent, I would be a singer or a rockstar…but I don’t have that talent.

@sj4569 asked: Hey what’s your favorite thing to do when your not snowboarding?
I love to watch movies. Old ones and new ones. In the Christmas spirit, Love Actually is a really good one. I also like to shoot photos, edit photos, edit movies, all kinds of media stuff. And I love to play my ukelele. I’m not very good yet, but everyday I’m learning. I’m learning Christmas songs now, on the uke.

Roxy team rider Ty Walker has been named to the US Olympic slopestyle team, joining the ranks of snowboarding’s elite. Ty is the youngest team member (at 14 years old) and also the only girl on the team! We checked in with Ty to see how things are going so far:

Ty Walker here! Hoping everybody is loving the start of the winter season as much as I am! After spending Thanksgiving with my family, I came back to Colorado to ride with the U.S. Snowboard Team. The U.S. Team consists of the riders that the USSA (United States Ski/Snowboard Association) thinks are the most likely candidates to go to the next Olympics (and hopefully medal ). I feel so honored to be on the team, especially since it’s the first U.S. Slopestyle Team ever and I’m the only girl. They’ve given us US Snowboarding Team luggage bags, t-shirts, stickers, and a bunch of other stuff that they give you to rep U.S. Snowboarding. I love the stuff and it makes me super proud to represent my country in that way.

Getting ready for some Surf Denim DIY to kick off the clothing drive!

Robin Van Gyn is a wizard at riding powder in the backcountry. Last winter she buckled down and got to work, snowmobiling out to faraway snowy locales to spin off jumps, drop lines, and slash fresh snow. She’s living the dream up in beautiful British Columbia. While powder may look like marshmallows, it’s not always that forgiving, and Robin paid her dues. But when this girl takes a lickin’ she keeps on ticking, and the results are quite extraordinary. Watch, Ooo and Ahhh, and be inspired.

P.S. We’re kicking off our Clothes 4 Souls clothing drive with a special DIY Decorate Your Denim “Re-Work & Shop” event on Friday December 2 from 3:00PM – 6:00PM at our Roxy Times Square Store.  Come distress, sew, pin, and patch up your denim with ROXY denim designer Mark Wiesmayr, Olympic Gold Medalist and Roxy team rider Torah Bright, and Teen Vogue style expert Jasmin Reate.

Here’s where we will be from 3pm-6pm for the DIY event (mark it in your calendars & bring some friends!):

The Roxy Refreshments are back and better than ever!  Here’s a sneak peak of things to come.  The 2011/12 Refreshments web video series will follow the winter adventures of the Roxy snow team, including Torah Bright, Sarah Burke, Robin Van Gyn, Erin Comstock, and more.  Stayed tuned every other Tuesday for more escapades on ice.

Winter is here; ski hills are opening, flakes are falling, and the Roxy snow team is gearing up for a new season of adventures.  But before jumping full-on into winter travels, Torah Bright, Erin Comstock and Robin Van Gyn took the time to stop in at the Seattle, WA offices of Mervin Manufacturing (where Roxy snowboards are designed) to check out the future snowboard line at the annual Roxy, Gnu, and Lib Tech snowboard summit.  Each of the team riders discussed their brand new snowboards and how they are each involved in the design and construction of the snowboards – pretty cool huh! While at the office they were kind enough to stop by the photo copier and create something for the Roxy/Mervin crew to remember them by!

After hanging out at the office and stirring up a little bit of trouble the  team headed back to the mountains– to their real “day jobs”– where office chairs are chairlifts, board meetings are park laps with friends, and time cards are season’s passes.
