Not a whole lot of new from Atomic honestly but to me at least, the line looks pretty damn good. Punx and Infamous are back again unchanged, as is the Bentchetler but it has a fucking awesome graphic, I want a pair for my wall but know I could never resist skiing them. The Automatics are gone, replaced by a backland range, which from memory, all feature the Bentchetler style horizontal rocker tip....

2016 is the second time the SWATCH FREERIDE WORLD TOUR has made an appearance in Vallnord-Arcalis. Riders made their way to Basser Negre zone after a short climb from the Basera chairlift. Ski Women Jaclyn Paaso (USA) always sends it big and today was no exception. Third on the podium was rookie Evelina Nilsson (SWE) who demonstrated excellent control and solid riding. With a risky but technically difficult line with big airs, Ivan Malahkov came in very close behind Heitz....

Gone are the Domain, the Shreditor 92, the Shreditor 102 and the Shreditor 112. In the place of those 4 skis are two new ones, the Marksman and the Poacher. I can really only say that both look banging. The Poacher is 96 underfoot, fairly stiff and with more rocker than the Shreditor 92. The Marksman is beautiful, featuring and asymmetric tip profiles and also fat edges (thank you K2)....

For me, my livelihood has always been based in the outdoors. Were seated near the back of the Last Drop, one of Revelstokes preferred watering holes. His girlfriends parents are sweet, and they let him stay at theirs. | Photo: Jordan Sullivan Its a self-sustaining lifestyle. They have the blueprints to their lives all laid out, the same story as any corporate-minded faculty. Jay moves among them but avoids the kool aid....

Thats right, a ski press confiscated from a weed growing producer of hemp snowboards. 7 Mile emphasizes sustainability in their practices, and a community approach to building and selling skis. Not a big hucker, but I like to ski fast and make some slashes here and there. I have been skiing on a 191 ON3P Billy Goat. What they say: With the Floaties on your feet you will be ready for the deep days....
