Lemuel's Top 5 of SIA: Skis

The tips and tails are decently soft with a mid / not quite stiff flex underfoot. The skis felt very solid and construction looked on point. Definitely a ski that I want to get on and try out. Looks like a great option for someone who wants to kick it in the park on a wide ski. It is a bit on the stiffer side and fairly snappy. Line Tigersnake...

Full Review

Waymaker Carbon 130 - Full Review There has been a big change in freeride boots in recent times. The Atomic Waymaker Carbon 130 certainly falls into the second category. This is a serious boot. One thing I do want to touch on here is the larger fit. Some people I know complain about this, but personally I think what Atomic have done is quite clever. Traditionally, high performance boots have basically been close relations to full on race boots....

PARRY PIZZA PARTY PT. 3 (TAFT)

Shredders of every age were there to shred with all the Line riders. They took their turns trying new tricks for Andy and upon landing them lined up for swag giveaways. I even got a close-up look at Krotch’s beard. (Disclaimer I found grey hairs)…. Prize of the day (trip?) = Andy Parry’s stinky boot liners.

PARRY PIZZA PARTY PT. 2 (TAFT- WILD MTN)

Starting at 4 in the afternoon, the sun soon went down and an under the lights session began. We lucked out with weather and didn’t have to deal with low, ice bearing temperatures. Once inside, skiers gathered in the chalet and eagerly anticipated the pizza as the raffle gear was displayed. Every individual was lucky enough to leave with a new ski item to add to their collection. Even better yet, a belly that was full of warm, cheesy pizza....

In The Streets With The Tabarnak Pack

The snowbanks are relaxed by last nights thaw, dividing street from sidewalk like frozen hedgerows. A Sunday in January, the streets are empty. Winter stretches out before the scene in four long months. We pull into the parking lot across the street from the Olympic plaza. The mornings haze is lifting, and the pale blue sky presses through. The process is automated: we grab skis and shovels from the trunk and sling them over our shoulders....

Price Foulger And The Sabek Outerwear Story

As freestyle skiers, we devote a lot of time to the outwear buying process. It’s just part of the game. Price Foulger knows this very well. In high school, almost all of his money went into buying new jackets. At only a year and a half old, Sabek Outerwear is still a baby. But it’s growing up fast. Along with running Sabek, Price spends his time killing it in the backcountry....

Solid 7: Eating Shit

Sometimes you go for something new and exciting. It may go really well and you ride away like a G. Other times, you eat shit. These are those times.

PARRY PIZZA PARTY (TAFT- TROLLHAUGEN)

Many of the skiers did in fact tell their friends because it ended up drawing quite the crowd. Andy even wore his nicest outfit… One kid even gets to claim that ‘Andy Parry taught me how to rodeo 5’.
