The snow has arrived and our Try Me program is back again this year. Have you heard of it?
We decided to invest in a few boards to delight our customers who were thinking about buying a second board for powder.
With Try me we introduce you to quiver boards, you can take a model to try out the feeling directly on the mountain.
To rent, go to the Chicoutimi store and an advisor will help you fill out the reservation form.
When you skate often, you quickly understand that a good shoe can make all the difference. Boardfeel, durability, grip, comfort, impact protection… each brand has its recipe, and each skater has their preferences. In 2026, skate shoes are more technical than ever, but also more fashionable. Whether you're into big stair sets, downtown curb sessions, or simply looking for a clean everyday shoe, here's a little guide to help you find the right pair. What to look for in a skate shoe The sole This is probably the most important point. Vulcanized (vulc): more flexible, better boardfeel, more classic look.Perfect if you want to really feel your board and have a lightweight shoe. Cupsole: more support and impact protection.Often preferred for big gaps, rails, or long sessions. Some brands are now managing to combine both vibes: boardfeel + protection. Vans: the classic that never dies Vans has been a skateboarding staple for decades, and honestly for good reason. Models like the Skate Old Skool, Skate Half Cab, or Skate Slip-On remain essentials at the shop. For several years, the Skate Classics line has been much better in terms of durability: better materials, reinforced soles, improved cushioning. Why people love Vans: Excellent boardfeel Timeless style Easy to wear even off the board Many vulc models Bestsellers at the shop: Skate Old Skool Skate Half Cab Skate Curren Caples Nike SB: comfort and technology Nike SB blends modern performance with a clean look. If you want something super comfortable right out of the box, this is often where people turn. Zoom Air soles, premium materials, and more technical fits make several models really solid for long skating sessions. Why people love Nike SB: Very good cushioning Excellent support Durable Many collabs and colorways Bestsellers at the shop: Nyjah Janoski Ishod Adidas Skateboarding: the perfect mix of skate and lifestyle Adidas continues to release super popular models for both skating and everyday wear. Models like the Busenitz or Tyshawn offer a good balance of stability, comfort, and a more "sport/skate" look.

The highlights, the stars, and the vibe that got us stoked Let's just say it right off the bat: the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, as far as snowboarding is concerned, was a good show. Clutch runs, young guns showing up fearlessly, and legends proving they still got it. In short, if you love snowboarding, you were well served. MILAN-CORTINA 2026 The snowboard events at the 2026 Winter Olympics took place in a completely insane setting, between the Italian Alps and modernized infrastructure ready to welcome the athletes. Slopestyle, Big Air, Halfpipe, Snowboard Cross, Parallel Giant Slalom... all disciplines were present — and honestly, the technical level really stepped up a notch. We're talking about: ultra-clean technical combos in slopestyle 1620° rotations almost "normal" in big air next-level amplitude and fluidity in halfpipe photo-finish finals in boardercross THE STARS WHO SHONE (AND GAVE US CHILLS) 🇨🇦 Canadians on Fire In snowboard cross, Eliot Grondin fought a fierce battle all the way to the grand final and took home the silver medal — the only Canadian snowboarding medal at Milan-Cortina 2026. Explosive starts, smart lines, daring overtakes: Eliot proved he's among the world's elite and performs when it truly matters. Even without a podium, Mark McMorris proved he's still one of the clutchest riders on the planet. Mastered style, insane amplitude, and unwavering mental strength — a veteran who continues to inspire an entire generation. On the women's side, Laurie Blouin delivered a solid, technical, and committed performance. She remains a benchmark in slopestyle, with riding as precise as it is aggressive. 🇺🇸 The New American Wave The Americans arrived with a hungry new generation. Chloe Kim, already a halfpipe icon, once again demonstrated why she is one of the best of all time. Perfect flow, ridiculous amplitude, and total confidence earned her the silver medal. It's beautiful to watch her ride. 🌏 The International Rise Japan continues to dominate technically, especially in freestyle. Young Japanese riders are pushing the limits in rotations and creativity. Clearly, the future of snowboarding also lies there. Japan is the country that won the most medals in snowboarding, with a total of 9, including 4 gold medals. Austria and South Korea ranked not far behind. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MILAN 2026 OLYMPICS 1. The "last trick or nothing" runs We saw several finals decided on the last jump. Riders who had everything to lose and still pulled off huge tricks to reach the podium. That's the kind of snowboarding we love. 2. Exploding technical level What was a winning trick in 2018 or 2022 is now a "safe" trick. Double and triple corks are now standard. The sport is evolving fast — really fast. 3. The riders' energy Despite the Olympic pressure, we felt the respect and vibe among the athletes. High fives, hugs in the finish area, support between competitors. It's still a family. SNOWBOARDING AT THE OLYMPICS: MORE THAN A MEDAL What we love about snowboarding at the Olympics is that despite the ultra-official structure, the sport maintains its identity. Its creative side. Its "do it your way" side. Since its arrival at the Olympics (Nagano 1998), snowboarding has always brought something different: style, character, a culture. And in 2026, it was confirmed: snowboarding is no longer "the alternative sport" of the Games. It's one of the highlights. At Homies, we get super stoked when we see our sport shine like this on the world stage. The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina reminded us why we love snowboarding: pushing limits, style, respect, and fun!!!
