Summer Opening Indoor Snowpark Bispingen

Snowpark Bispingen (Germany) opened the new summer setup last weekend. It’s the biggest we ever had and every single rider was stoked about it! The park is now open for everyone to shred until the end of August. A 5 month ticket is available for 159. This is the cheapest way to shred a nice park during summer in Europe. Our main event will be the Summer Feast which is the only indoor summer camp in Europe....

Annecy Bound

No pressure, no goal, just having fun and trying funky stuff. It’s also pretty fun to edit cuts from the winter. In this edit, I just tried to make it feel real and relatable. To show that home has opportunities for street skiing. Hopefully it worked out and you will have fun watching!

A waiting game: notching a spring first descent in Glacier National Park

To whit: three years of waiting. Three years of looking at one line. Three couloirs connected by lateral bands descending 3000ft or so on the northwest face of Mt. Allen in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park, Montana. In that time since I first spotted this option, I’ve learned. My abilities as a ski mountaineer have grown. Maybe the stars will align. Once home, I scrambled to find a buddy with some free time....

TanSnowMan: Local Legend, Earthly Example

He has the uttermost respect for the Earth, which everyone on Earth can look up to as well. Why did you start Panda Poles? We all used short poles because they work better for mogul skiing (and skiing in general). However, I could never wrap my head around what it would take to manufacture recycled aluminum poles. What things separate Panda Poles, not only from other poles, but from other ski companies in general?...

A season as a Maine ski bum

The thermometer reads -20 when you wake up, -28 for those metric obsessed. It has been 3 days since the upper mountain lifts have run. But you have to get up, exit the warm bed and get after the day. It is mid January in Maine. Hopefully the car runs. Maine mountains are cold and windy, all the time. The mountains in the north are relatively empty this time of the year....

Karl Fostvedt Talks Tamashii Project

Credit: Shannon Skouras The result is the Tamashii Project, shot over a five week period. What made you excited about this project that made you commit to it? How involved and interested are you in expressing yourself through social media? The difference is that the risks in an urban environment are more blatant. In the backcountry everything is very deceptive because it seems so stagnant and peaceful. But before you know it, an entire slope can rip out and with loads of force and energy....

Maad Maude on Girl's Week at COC

Newschoolers had a feel for it and I agreed ! Have you ever instructed a ski camp before? Do you have a specific idea of things you want to focus on with the campers? That is where you lose style. What are you looking forward to most about the week? I am looking forward to gather girls together, work together and progress! Share experiences, strength and feel confident! Why do you think the involvement of women and girls in freeskiing is so important?...
