Winter Blend, January 2018

January 31, 2018

Damn, you guys are seriously staying busy.  

This month, we had to up our Winter Blend entries just to attempt to account for all the activities you’ve gotten into (you’ve apparently had a lot of room for them… it’s making our heads spin.)

But yeah, no time to screw around—let’s dive in.

1. wokeandheard | Lion’s Head Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa

If you’re able to conquer Lion’s Head Mountain in South Africa, this seems an appropriate celebration.

3. jessikajenson | Park City Mountain, Utah

Professional snowboarder and Olympian out of Rigby, ID, Jessika Jenson, literally looking ahead to the new year and its many opportunities.

4. jessikajenson | Park City Mountain, Utah

When we said “opportunities” above, we were being pretty pointed when it came to Jessika. This week, she officially qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympic games. Congrats, Jessika! We’ll feature her caption so you can hear it in her own words:

“I am so honored and privileged to be able to represent Team USA in Pyeongchang, South Korea for Snowboard Slopestyle and Big Air! I want to thank my family, friends, fans, sponsors, and community for your support in my journey to making the Olympics!”

Jessika is a Blenders-sponsored athlete and we couldn’t be more thrilled for her!

11. chrisbrownies29 | Mission Beach, San Diego, CA

Chris with an important #LifeHack; check it out:

“Turns out if you take a camera or selfie pole on the Mission Beach Coaster, they will confiscate your prohibited item and hold it while you go on the ride 2 more times for free. Don't worry, it still doesn't make any sense to me either.”

Shades: Beachcat

12. jordini_94 | Hamilton Pool Preserve, Texas

Jordann with some wise words:

“You always hear that life is short, but it is the longest thing that you will ever know. Why should you be anything other than happy?"
