Jesse Fox, associate editor of Snowboard Canada said, Snowboard parks are a labour of love. If theyre shown love theyll return it. 2012 also sees the opening of the new Mystery Peak Express chairlift.
Interview by Dylan Anderson Who’s the craziest person you ever encountered on an urban mission? A couple times we’ve been called “crazy white n*ggas” at gas stations.

The crew is always the same, but this year, everybody got a part. The crew during the premiere in Montreux, Switzerland. Photo by Maxime Genoud The opening segment goes to Alex Neurohr, who absolutely slayed the backcountry. We had a very snowy year in Switzerland, so we were able to film a lot of powder. We mainly just cruise to stations in middle Switzerland and hike, build kickers or just make some turns....
Interview by Dylan Anderson So any big plans for this upcoming winter? That will be my main focus all year. So, in your opinion, what makes a skier? Getting podium or releasing the craziest video seg? But I would say releasing segments have a longer lasting impact on people. Photo by Stept Productions Do you feel like style is subjective? Or is there a time when you feel like someone has a much better style than the other?...
Natural jumps, spines, and a quick storm ski packed into three days of skiing. Touring out to our favorite zone in Alaska, I mean Austria. This kind of terrain has so many options, features everywhere. Pep Fujas 360 spine transfer. Our amazing cars for the trip, BMW X1. Yes, we had 3 BMW X1 cars to drive around the Vorarlberg region. A bit of wet gear in a European size room with 5 adults and camera gear, no problem....
Skiers and Snowboarders were mixed together during heats to speed up the process of judging. There were three heats to get into the finals consisting of riders with mixed age groups and abilities. Terrain Park Designer Marc Moline’s CAD drawing of the course. With nearly 15 tons of snow the Park Crew had their work cut out for them. 12 o’clock signaled the start of the rail jam. Riders were told to make their way to the drop-ins to get their first hits in....
Tickets are counted and money is raised. This year I partnered with PYP Productions to premier their new movie, Part Time. The seats starting to fill up before the event.

So I guess I accomplished what I set out to do! Shout out to Laura Blonski on winning her choice of Surface Skis!...
Make videos. Get paid. That’s the model of the NSTV Producer Program, which we’ve had rampant success with over the course of the last year.

To apply to be a part of the NSTV Producer Program, go toproducers....

Forever, NS has been about having conversations. When we break it down, NS is good at four things: Taken from our whiteboard planning session. Photos, Videos and Discussion, you already know how to use. Each of these sections will remain exactly the same as they were before. If you have a story you feel needs telling, dive in there and tell it. These buttons allow you to change your view....
My first installment will be short and sweet for you guys. I decided to do this photo blog after I was finished shooting. the story will be lacking, but the views will be epic.
