Jon Olsson’s videoblog isn’t anything new anymore.

But it seems like a couple of other pro skiers have joined the ranks of bloggers too. And why shouldn’t they - I guess blogging is a pretty effective way to do some (quite clever) DIY-marketing…not to mention the fact that it can be fun and rewarding to the writer at the same time. Of course this all is good for the fans of the particular skier/snowboarder too. And, in general, it’s a great way to keep in touch with what’s happening in the ski world, as the blogs offer perhaps a bit more “grassroot” view into the life of a professional athlete.

Here are links to a couple such blogs I recently discovered:

Pro skier / B.A.S.E Jumper Erik Roner’s Blog

http://www.erikroner.com/blog/

Rossignol’s Sage Cattabriga-Alosa has a blog too

http://sagecattabriga-alosa.com/

(Gotta say I  really dig Sage’s blog - skiing and mountain biking, great pictures and a bit “hippy” vibe…nice!)

Cody Townsend’s blog

Cody is a Californian pro skier (and a kite surfer) who actually posts quite a lot on the Teton Gravity Research’s forum

http://www.codytownsend.com/

- check out e.g. this nice little bit of Chilean travel info.

Big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones has a cool site

http://jeremyjones.net/

This story about the origins of snowboarding is something really worth reading - would you believe they (kind of) snowboarded in Turkey(!) already some 150 years ago? Very beautiful story (almost hard to believe!)…and remains me of a story about ancient skiing in the Altai Mountains that Marko posted last winter.

Talking about snowboarder’s  - TJ Schneider has his own site

(This is not a blog though)

http://www.tjschneider.com/

Even though this is not a blog, check it out. Pretty interesting content anyway.

Jon’s buddy Jacob Wester has an interesting blog too

http://jacobwester.com

- Check out e.g. the cool Swedish surf pics posted recently

American Kristen Ulmer’s blog

http://kristenulmerblog.blogspot.com/

And a couple of random ones that are more community-based
