This isn’t the first bikini skiing world record set at Sheregesh. Back in 2013, about 500 similarly barely-dressed riders went down the slope, setting the previous best. This year, the target number of 1,000 was almost doubled.

Building is every bit as much of the experience as is riding. Today was a building day. Instead of giving the play-by-play, we want to change things up a bit. The fact of Superunknown is that its made up of the riders here. Gabe Taube Q: What’s been your favorite session so far this week ? A: I enjoyed the jump except for when Veg got hurt. It was a huge jump, it was super fun, so much air time....

Evan(Shredched) was given the name “Titty Boy” after expressing his love for breasts. Until Evan created an actual date and started formulating the event and prizes. Because of them almost everyone who attended went home with some sort of prize making it even more memorable. Everyone was stoked as we all hiked this down rail trying new tricks and throwing out prizes to everyone! This event was extremely vital to have due to the nature of this season at Hood....

The early release was timed to encourage backcountry skiing after the ski resorts closed. The new backcountry skis feature a hybrid construction of fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is roughly twice as strong as steal, and 14 the weight. Seneca started development of their carbon skis nearly two seasons ago. Working with it required working closely with their epoxy supplier to develop new heating and curing cycles. The result is a ski that is livelier, stronger, and up to 1....

Skiing is full of brands that seem to just exist. They pump out their products and marketing but never really do anything to set themselves apart.

Who are the people behind the brand, the shredders making it happen? We all bring our own experiences, skill sets, ideas & industry specific knowledge to the table....

Photos: Jamie Walter Day one of Level 1s Superunknown XII is in the books. Or maybe its more like day one-and-a-half. After all, we arrived last night. Descended might be a better word from as far away as Olso and Moscow; from Fernie, B.C. and Salt Lake City. They got Dunkin Donuts four separate times, for the record. Interestingly, there are no Quebeckers in this years superunknown. So today, we learned a few things....

Ive wanted to visit California for years. Ive always had this idea that skiing and surfing in the same day would be a dream come true. So my brother and I would finally make that trip to southern California happen early this April. There was just one problem… Bear closed before our trip even started. So, we quickly made a plan B: drive up to Mammoth. Not a bad plan B by any means; in fact, it got me even more excited....

Revision Skis must be doing something right. Everyone was stoked to get in some pow skiing and remained cautiously optimistic. We Arrived to the Fernie Wilderness Adventures Lodge in pouring rain and no snow on the ground. We woke up to this. Most of our runs started off of this ridgeline, the highest point in FWA’s Terrain. Bottom line: its a lot of fun. Every day would start off with a fun run, no cameras, just ripping around with the crew....

Well, our time here at WSI has finally wrapped up. -Media Brunch at the GLC. Mr. Bishop is skeptical and tells me not to get my hopes up. I get my hopes up -My expectations are fully realized. There is a “Caesar Bar” and a lot of bacon -I eat two large plates of food. Doug makes me eat another. In this case peer pressure is a good thing This is plate 1 of 3...

Luckily, I had a window seat in row 33 without anyone next to me. Lucas (LSM) joined us in the city and the hours went by faster than Cole’s drinks. Although we are over 6,000km away from home there are still some commonalities that we encountered. https://vimeo.com/121885806Recent edit featuring our Stockholm tour guides Easter Sunday was our first full day in Sweden. These guys can’t stand not skiing for more than a few days....
