Burton Snowboards has just launched a website “where girls can discover fun, unique and diverse content around the lifestyle and culture of our sport.

Starting December 5, the Valentino archive will be available to the public as a downloadable desktop app and will showcase the designers work from the last five decades. The virtual tour mimics a 100,000 square foot museum with an interior inspired by Roman architecture. The exhibit displays over 300 dresses, sketches, ad campaigns, editorials, red carpet moments, and more.

686, Scion Racing, and Spin Imaging have collaborated in an attempt create the ultimate mountain vehicle.

“The exterior is bundled head-to-toe in custom features, from the New Balance tires to the Bern carbon fiber helmet roof. The xB is completely wrapped in 686 waterproof/breathable fabric, with waterproof YKK zipper pockets and Dragon APX mirrored frameless windows.”

“The interior has no shortage of fun and functional sporting gear. The Union binding swivel seats, Freewaters heated floor mats and Cadence steering wheel wrap are only a few of the many mountain-ready features. 686 did plenty of their own custom creation with the gear hangers, snowboard rack, boot rack and roll cage all stuffed comfortably inside.”

I have to say I think it’s a smart concept, but the execution is questionable.
