What a way to start the new decade! On new year's day Oakley sent their female snowboard team, Anne Flore Marxer, Marie France Roy and Jenny Jones, plus skier Grete Eliassen, to the backcountry heaven that is Retallack, British Columbia, to shred trees and fresh snow for a week, via their own personal cat.

In what both Jenny and Marie-France have described as 'the best trip ever,' the girls were filming and shooting pictures with John Roderick of Neu Productions, producer/film maker behind Uniquely, for an as-yet unknown upcoming video project.

[Be warned: if you're stuck at work, dreaming of snowboarding powder before winter vanishes this rest of this post could make you a little sick with envy...]

superpost: Quiksilver for Women Spring Summer 2009 in shops now!

Quiksilver for Women's Spring Summer 2009 collection in shops now!

There was a huge buzz when Quik launched their stand alone women's collection - dubbed more Zara than TopShop - this time last year. Up market and quality, it was something that ladies in the shred industry (like moi) had been crying out for. A brand that reflected our outlook on life - inspired by action sports culture but also aware of bigger trends and designers - and wanted to look like a lady, not a pre-pubescent girl.

Launched with the successful creative hub of Site LA and it's ambassadors in the US, us Euro's were represented by a trio of singer-songwriters. Personally I found their music dull (but, as a Slayer fan, I'm not exactly their percieved market), but now beautiful Swiss snowboard mag intern Ela is on the roster.

Thank goodness that after all the marketing hype the clothes stand up: the new Spring / Summer collection is looking fierce but uber feminine, in muted shades with dashes of lemon and turqouise. Personally I'm lusting after all the dresses, tunics and manly-peacoat.

Check out more pics and videos after the jump...

Nikita turn 10 & celebrate with coffee table book 'Sideways Sistas' on girls who ride

Iceland's Nikita clothing celebrate 10 years with a coffee table book on girls who ride

Iceland streetwear brand Nikita are celebrating their tenth anniversary in 2010 with another original marketing idea: a 200 page coffee table style book on girls who ride dubbed Sideways Sistas by local designer and editor Thordis Claessen (who created Icepick). But, in addition to the pictures and articles from Nikita's first decade, girls from across the globe are asked to submit editorial ideas - i.e. you.

You've got until April 30 to submit pictures, photos, words, drawings or anything else you want to share with fellow female riders - and the shred industry as a whole. This is also a chance to get your talent spotted.

Keep reading for further details on the project and inspiration after the jump...
