Meet Danny Toumarkine, Think about Wearing a Helmet



Straight up DANNY IS THE BOMB... He's an absolute shredder and as genuine as they get. Danny got worked last year and ended up fighting for his life but in true warrior status Danny survived and is back stronger and more positive than ever! I had the pleasure of spending a day hiking in the white talking with Danny about life in general and his accident. Danny wasn't riding that day but he was hiking and getting stronger. His doctors told him he might never ride again, Danny will be riding this winter!!! This is his story summed up in a 3 minute video, please enjoy it, please share it.



I've been riding a snowboard for about 17 years. I've never worn a helmet, from now on I will...

Let's face it, when snowboard helmets first started appearing on the the market they SUCKED!!! Well like everything they've gotten so much better. Lighter, more compact, warmer, more comfortable, more accepted.... At Pioneers we proudly stock and sell RED helmets made and produced by Burton. We've got them in every size and we've got them in lots of colors for men, women, and children. I encourage to hunt around RED's website and get a feel for the technology that goes into these brain savers. If you think you're ready for a helmet upgrade or you're like me and ready for your first helmet ever come by the shop, check out our stock, get fitted, and get one.

Here are just a few of the RED helmets we have in stock.


The Theory brings full protection plus the micro-adjustability of our Air Band™ 270 Fit System, ultra lightweight design, and a snow-blocking brim. All the performance you need; nothing to hold you back.


The women’s team choice dialed with all the HI-FI features and designed with a women’s specific profile. Refine your fit with our Air Band™ 180 Fit System, or make room for a beanie by removing the ear pads and internal padding.


Made for the preschool ripper that puts you to shame, the Trace Grom offers maximum durability and easy customization.


Leave your mark, and make it back for more. The RED youth team backs the Defy’s brim design and versatility for year-round, snow, skate and bike protection.
