Largely crowdfunded, the movie is shot in and around Laurent DeMartin’s home region, Dents Du Midi. Designed to be a celebration of Swiss skiing, it aims to show what the region has to offer. Except that they shot it in a seriously trying winter, which made the task even harder. I know, because I was there. That makes the half-hour runtime and the quality of snow they found throughout all the more impressive....
A seemingly quieter time in the industry this week, but still, we have content! Our mountain here opens on Monday, with 3 trails of man-made snow… but it counts! Tuesday came in big and delivered upon us back to back banger flicks. RESILIENCEseeks to outline just that trait in Sammy, displaying the highs and lows throughout his career. This is what having fun looks like. @cydwhitgave us some great insight onhow to ACTUALLY save weightwhen heading out into the backcountry....
Great minds must think alike. While Lonely was cooking upthis gem,I was busy drawing ski cars. So which one are you? Do you feel seen? Or am I just picking on you? And comment with what you think I missed. I’ve got another batch on deck for next week. I’m a shuttle addict myself. Nothing beats getting dropped at the lift without having to stress about parking or driving icy roads....
), on what seemed like a fun early season setup with two jumps and three banks of rails. We hope neither is too seriously injured. Johanne Killi also stomped a sw dub 10 along with a slightly sketchy but flowy line through the rails. Johanne Killi made it to the second jump but came up short on her switch dub 10. The top three remained Ledeux, Killi, Gu. A slight bobble on the second rail feature switch 4 on seemed to hurt his score a little though....

What your skis say about you Alright, before we get into this, I have a disclaimer. But thats the point. Here are four general groups of skis that may describe you as a skier. _ “I like them FAT” Ahhh man. This is a touchy subject for me. There are a lot of wide skis out there. The people who ski these phat skis tend to fall into two different groups....
Backcountry skiers are obsessed with saving weight. Ive written plenty in the past about how I go about saving weight in my backcountry setup. And plenty of other folks have chimed in with their good, or not so good, ideas. We missed the point. We tried to make small marginal changes in weight distribution, instead of looking for a paradigm shift. I offered a Joe Biden solution to a problem that needed a Liz Warren....
To put it simply; you cant ski without a pair of skis. So if skiing really wants to be environmentally friendly, finding a sustainable way to make them is vital. There arent many teams more stacked with talent thanFaction Skis, they also have a big focus on sustainability. And if you want a pair of homegrown skis, thenGrown Skis,are a company actually doing that! _ WNDR ALPINE WNDR Alpine is Matt Sterbenz’s (formerly of4FRNT) new ski brand....
Meeks is that skier. After sending it to flat, his right ACL was cleanly torn. What ON3P does for their team is give them support and creative control for their vision. The result has been nothing short of magic. Creating something with those dudes has been the highlight of my career. Your vision is your biggest asset. I want to put stuff out with Oscar Weary, B-rud, more ON3P stuff....
Its quiet on Hero Rock in the summer. Hero Rock didnt always have a name. It was deposited here eons ago as the glaciers receded. Most of its history is monotonous, with a few snippets of excitement. The bear was fine, but it lived out its days with a limp. Their lives were short though, and the rock never really changed. His skis were long and heavy, bent alder, and his boots were leather....
Great vibes and insane ski stunting, set at everyones favorite volcanic vacation destination. A passion project with no expectations and mind-blowing results. And now we have Magma II, dropping Friday 13th November. This time around there are undoubtedly expectations. In fact, theyre sky-high. You cant make something as good as Magma without setting the bar almost too high. With Magma, they won awards and made the top-rated of all time list right here on Newschoolers....
Doing a lot with very little Let’s be honest with ourselves here. The midwest doesn’t have a whole lot to offer besides 300 ft hills and mud. We don’t get blower pow or thousands of feet of vert. We get rails and rad parks. How long have you been the park manager at Pine Knob? Skier:Brendan Mclean -Your park is obviously very unique- what approach do you take to building a park?...
I received the message one sunny September afternoon from my friend and long-time ski-partner, Camilla Edwards. He has dedicated ample amounts of time into developing some of the most unique adventures in the world. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE The plan seemed too good to be true. Aurora-Arktika would provide a private charter at a fraction of normal operating cost. A core group of individuals quickly established. Our minds ran wild with ways to come up with the remaining funding needed to cover the trip costs....
