Behind The Scenes"Habit" Premiere In Denver

All photos:Grant Witty Another year, another Level 1 flick to get you hyped for winter. City Hall was turned into a club so it was back to Cervantes! Street legend & Level 1 alum Ahmet Dadali even made an appearance. On to the main event; the movie. Across the board, the movie was really damn tight. I really enjoyed the tag team segments as opposed to standalone parts. Trust me this is one well worth heading out to a showing of or orderinghere....

Is The New Wave Here To Stay?

This is the new wave, at least I think so. Like it or lump it, they have become an established part of the sport. Nowadays, the the hands-down heavy headed rideaway has been traded for mind-bending butters, tweaks, and manuals. Change doesnt come from the mainstream, however. The Olympics will not change skiing. Red Bull will not change skiing. X Games will not change skiing. It is the outskirts and the outsiders that change a scene....

Tanner Hall Announces New Film "Triumph" & Contest Comeback

All Photos: Dan Villaire/Armada Tanner Hall is undoubtedly one of the greatest skiers of all time. We didnt really have any budget, or any companies backing us. He spoke to the way that these films are a vital lifeline of culture and soul in skiing. Without that kind of stuff, I dont know where skiing is heading. So for us this year, it was just kind of taking it back....

HG Skis Keegan Kilbride Stinger 2018 Review

Newschoolers' Review: The Stinger is definitely at home in the park. I would give it a medium flex, and they are very snappy. If you like to ollie and nollie around, these will do it for you. I have yet to wash out or overpower the ski. They carve beautifully out of the box with minimal chatter. If you are looking for a one ski quiver, look elsewhere but these are a great park option....

HG Skis Transfer 2018 Review

Member Review: These skis are the most fun ski I think I have ever ridden on. As a side note, HG is the most costumer friendly business I have ever encountered. Everyone should support small businesses, and HG is in my opinion the best choice possible. The Transfer is the rockered version of our original ski. Pushing through crud or floating through powder is effortless. As with all of our skis, durability remained a key factor in the development of the Transfer....

Manufacturer’s Description: The new Liberty Genesis 96 is an excellent ski for the ladies who are going to be out searching for the deep snow and sending the occasional cliff.

Liberty’s Xcore Carbon gets power from two Carbon Strips that initiate the entire length of the ski, while vertical strips of Bamboo and Poplar wood add a lightweight and snappy feel....
