Micro-Meditation + 5 Other Tools For Instant Grounding
Grounding routines and rituals have profound effects on our overall well-being. Finding peace throughout busy days is imperative to regulating stress and anxiety so we can operate at our highest level.
Giving so much of our energy outward requires us to go inward on a daily, hourly basis. Coming back to the present becomes easier when you take time for pauses, micro-meditations, and mini breathing sessions. These simple tools and grounding routines will help you reconnect to your inherent state of calm.

This contest, this race, is like no other. Running for 31 years now (since 1985), its been a gift to our snowboard community, and continues to inspire us on who we are, and where we have come from.

Pomegranates, berries and avocados blended together!? Smoothies are the ultimate way to combine multiple servings of those ultra tastey fruits and veggies that you need throughout the day. We reckon that you combine this list of cancer fighting foods into the best breakfast since sliced bread.

After patiently waiting over 6 months for the return of cold weather and snowboarding, B4BC is stoked to finally make our return to the mountains! Throughout the 2016-2017 season, B4BC will be traveling to over 8 mountain resorts for our winter fundraising series, Shred the Love.

‘SHROOM BOOM’: MEET THE GUY BEHIND FOUR SIGMATIC FOODS
WE’RE OBSESSING OVER just about every mushroom, tonic and superfood the guys over at Four Sigma Foods have to offer. Four Sigma is truly on the forefront of the mushroom “movement”, bringing a few traditional and powerful superfoods and fungis into the spotlight in a super-accessible way. Recently we got a chance to sit down and…
Top Three with B
For those of you who don’t know Barrett Christy-Cummins, she throws down. On snowy booters, willow to pillow lines, in the office and on dance floors. BUT, you probably already know her. She not only was a part of our original Olympic snowboard team that went to Japan, but she now mentors and advocates for young female up and comers to chase their snowboard dreams. Being my best friend, its pretty easy to sit here and praise away, but Barrett is beyond the athlete turned team manager, she holds a special place in the snowboard worlds heart, and yes, she has graced the covers of Pop-Tart boxes, and various snowboard media magazines, is an all time record holder for X-Games medals, and probably Banked Slalom Pendleton blankets, but my favorite element to witness her in, is being a mother to her two kids and partner/wife to the infamous @TubeSteakFace, Temple Cummins.
KIMMY FASANI ON WHY YOU SHOULD TRY ROCK CLIMBING (AND HOW TO GET STARTED)
Spending time in the mountains year-round and staying in shape are essential parts of my life. Now that I’m back from filming my part with Absinthe Films in Haines, Alaska—safe and healthy!—I’m getting back into my off-season activities, like biking, triathlons, and rock climbing. Rock climbing, in particular, has become a crucial element of my season. In Alaska, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the massive mountains and steep terrain, but when I arrived there this season I felt way more comfortable than I had expected. I credit this to all the time I spent rock climbing over the past few years.
