The other side

We’re halfway through our road trip through several of the Powder Alliance resorts. People say “The grass is always greener on the other side.” Ever since I started skiing I’ve known that nature’s fickle forecast weights any travel decision with risk. My first year skiing the mountain got dumped on while I was taking finals. I spent the next spring break in dry, sunny California watching the snow pile up at home....

NSxPowder Alliance: Stevens Pass

If you like reading things, continue onwards. When we rolled in toStevens Pass(@stevenspass) we were cautiously optimistic. We’d heard Stevens was good, we’d heard it was similar to our home resort, Schweitzer. The bad news was that their season base depth was sitting right around 34 inches. The good news: Stevens Pass wore that 34 inches well. Does this look like 34" total to you? However, actually skiing the mountain they felt very similar....

Andi and Julien brandishing some fresh 15/16 skis before the first day of the shoot. With this in mind, we dropped our plans for the morning and started looking for lines....

A Look Back at Voleurz

I think most companies have caught on to this model and it seems to be working really well. Although the company itself is no longer, the movies, edits and most importantly the attitude remains. The different skiers and snowboarders involved with the company over the years is a long one. As an outsider, the end of Voleurz seemed kind of sudden. Can you take us through it? From the beginning, the company seems like a labor of love....

NSxPowder Alliance: Schweitzer

Its hard to talk about your home ski resort in an unbiased and fair way. Fortunately I have no obligation to be fair or unbiased here. Ive been skiing Schweitzer Mountain Resort in northern Idaho for four years now and it just keeps getting better. Most days the lines are small to non-existant and there are nearly always fresh stashes to be found. This just means that the trees off Snowghost and triple are prime for shredding....

Watch: The Ten Craziest Ski Tricks of 2014

2014 was a big year for freeskiing. At the opposite end of the spectrum, both urban and backcountry skiing hit new heights. But in a completely undemocratic and occasionally tongue in cheek manner, we’ve done it. I’m sure we’ve missed a lot, so check that you let us know. We may even do a crowd-sourced ‘volume two’. But without further ado and in no particular order… The top 10 ski stunts of 2014....
