    Cameron diaz’s mouth is massive! You guys should check out www.jibbingame.com for all your free freestyle gaming needs, shameless plug but its pretty cool. Keep up the good work.

    I have a serious concern that needs your immediate attention. That is I’m concerned that Jools may break away to start a solo career much like Beyonce of Destiny’s Child. She had a glow about her in #52 that leads one to speculate about possible plastic surgery in the offseason. Anyone else get that vibe?

    Keep up the great work. Yesterday, I was under 15 inches of fresh snow here in Vermont. The conditions effected my internet connection so I had to snowshoe 2 miles to the local Wi-Fi spot to get my snowfix. Just couldn’t wait! Glad I did too since I got a glimpse of Jool’s butt (no disrespect Johno- but you know all about it, right?).

    Anyway, cheers all. And what are the chances that I can get the theme song as my ringtone? Have you guys entertained the idea of selling ringtones? If you are, may I suggest a Jools ringtone with her sultry voice. Something I can wake up to in the morning like, “Gooooood Morning, Mountainfreakus…last night made my legs weak. I only have enough energy to massage your !@#$.” Just think about. Later

    hi there guys this is my first post on snowfix but i have been following snowfix from day one i love it cant get enough of it.
    anyway i have a bit of a problem though i have just got a new coat the burton 3l jacket in the colour winter fresh which is like a mint green colour dont get me wrong its a wicked coat but i am not sure on the colour i think it may be a bit girly but im not sure i was wondering your opinion i am a snowboarder of course wearing burton and i am 16 so it is not as if i am 40 wearing this coat lol but what do u think hope you can help.

    thanks owen

    Hey, we here in VA, U.S.A. love your show. We share the podcasts between our crew of snowmonkeys. We would love to see more newcombers.
    Snowmonkeys forever,

    If I may comment on Anonymous Owen’s first post…

    Owen, my friend, welcome. You chose the right jacket. Being a snowboarder at 16, your life should be concerned with three things, 1) Getting Laid (with girls), 2) Perfect Jibbing, and 3) Looking good doing both. So you can see how critical the jacket is in this equation. Now I’m no fashion expert, but I know Burton well. Jake would’nt make a product for guys that he wouldn’t wear himself or something that didn’t command respect from other riders. Despite ‘winter fresh’ sounding more like a breath mint, I feel that as long as Dutchess, Sassafrass, Wunderlust, and Ladies Avenue is not in the name, you’re okay. My advice to you is to worry less about what keeps you warm during the day and more about who is keeping you warm at night. Catch my drift? Besides, your a snowboarder. This means you don’t have to try as hard because you are already cool.

    hey snowfix team i love your show been watching it since the 20th episode. about the americans… i’m from germany and i lived in amerika for 4 years and ive been skiing there allot and they do leave the safety bars up most of the time which i think is not such a good idea but most americans are nice especialy the younger people

    unfortunately i cant ride that much this year because i broke my arm when i fell from my roof^^ hope i’ll be able to ride febuary though

    keep up the great work guys

    Hey! The podcast is sweet, i always enjoy it! I have a question, what was the song in the Verty id, thanks in advance!

    Shred the gnar

  13. muh January 5th, 2008 at 2:04 am

    hey can you tell us some song names you use in the show
    like johno’s clip with the vans team week…what were some of those songs called??

  14. the_flying_potato January 5th, 2008 at 2:25 am

    The “cereal” “cheerios” track was by this guy: http://www.myspace.com/nsgurbanmusic

    But that song doesn’t seem to be available for download. Or maybe I didn’t look hard enough.

  15. Kate January 5th, 2008 at 6:14 am

    HEY

    The west coast is getting SLAMMED right now! We’re getting 6″ of snow an hour!!! We got around 10′ today and are expected to get 12′ tomorrow…its insane. If this storm keeps up, we’ll be all snowed out.

    As for all this “Americans are bad, blah blah” whatever. Jools had it right! Most Americans are greedy and stupid. It’s not that they’re bad people, it’s just that they’ve lost touch with whats really important.I live in Cali and its probably worst here. Funny thing is, if you’re into snowboarding/skiing…you’re probably not that into money - haha.

    And Snowfix team: I’ll probably never get to ride in Europe but IF I could go to just ONE resort where should I go? I’m a pretty good snowboarder and I really like an “active” atmosphere (aka - bars, parties, and young guys). Any suggestions?

  16. Chris January 5th, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    What is this “exclusive TV content, not seen on podcasts” If you don’t start airing in the US we’ll sue your ass!!!!! jk

    I am also on the west coast, Lake Tahoe, I woke up to over 2 feet of fresh pow!

  17. SL10’s!!!! January 5th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    anyone see the snowfix ad on extreme… jools in her pink number showing flesh. one way to pull in the punters!

    hey whoever that was who wrote something about charlie and that he shouldn’t go down to the level of skiing … wtf!! that was the dumbest comment i have ever seen on any snowfix show

  20. phil January 6th, 2008 at 11:50 pm

    does anybody know what the name of the song is which is played in snowfix #51 in the 3rd minute?

    thank you, phil from IL.

  21. Johnny Dee January 7th, 2008 at 6:42 am

    Yo, that was an AWESOME vid from Johno. I’ll probably watch that again a few more times. Keep up the good work! Oh and way to go on showing your booty again Joolz ;) I’m not complaining though. LoL. Before I forget… HAPPY (belated) B-DAY! Ciao…

    - Johnny Dee

    P.S. Where are those SnowFix stickers?

  22. Ben January 7th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    guys, what is up with the email system?
    it keeps breaking

  23. Ami January 7th, 2008 at 9:11 pm

    Hey

    I got given a camel back thingy for christmas and i was wondering what you guys think of them as i have seen a few more of them round this season .. I just think they look a bit Gay when you wear them and you are just skiing on the pistes as your not reli hiking up the pistes are you… Thats my view on then anyways! Hit me back someone!

    Love the show as always

    P.s whats with all the rain recently :P

  24. Anonymous January 7th, 2008 at 10:21 pm

    nothing wrong with them, there useful for keeping hydrated and as for looking gay, whats to look gay, theres only a pipe sticking out and its not exactly like that stands out much. Just make sure you get some insulation for it…or use vodka

  25. harry January 8th, 2008 at 8:12 am

    i had one of those.. but i put hot chocolate in it and melted the bag a little bit and now everything else in it tastes funny… so aword of advise dont put hot chocolate in it

    if there is such place please let me know, as i normally go to meribel but i think that might be to steep now.

    cheers
