Here are some season long cuts highlights from a winter cut short. (Spoiler alert.) PARK Unprecedented - Camden Williams |19-20|@Cami.Will 961837The midwest breeds psychopaths. Park feature eating maniacs like Camden Williams are no exception. The creativity is truly “unprecedented.” How about sliding a rainbow rail with your knees? Somersault off a chair lift? Switch frontflip/aerial thing onto a pvc rail? I won’t ruin anymore of it - watch it yourself if by some miracle you haven’t already....

Thank You, Powder Magazine

The length of the hiatus is unknown, and the future of all the titles is uncertain. Newschoolers, which is also owned by A360 Media, will not be impacted by the changes. The news comes during a particularly rough year for all of us. COVID-19 hampered the ski industry back in March when it forced resort closures worldwide. Established in 1972, Powder has released 49 volumes of The Skiers Magazine. Using their own words, we still have work to do, in these areas and others....

Backcountry Boom& Crowding Out of Bounds

This winter skiing will fill this role perhaps more than ever. The simple fact is that the pandemic has brought more people outside than ever before. No one expects winter to buck this trend. So there are going to be more people backcountry skiing. What does that mean for safety? I asked the big question first: Will this backcountry boom mean more avalanche accidents? Retailers have already seen a huge uptick in backcountry gear sales....

Tom Wallisch Forum AMA Interview: The Highlights

Tom Wallisch is arguably Newschoolers' prodigal son, a long-time community member turned super-pro. 7Springs seems to claim it pretty hard but I’m pretty sure its Wisp. I grew up in Pittsburgh. Skiing at both resorts. Back then I would spend weekends at Wisp. And visit Springs for night shred maybe once a week. I now only come home to go shred at Seven Springs because they support park skiing. Wisp couldn’t care less about it....

In-Depth Review: 2023 Faction Prodigy 3.0

I was somewhat surprised to see Faction change what felt like such a winning formula to me. Shape/Flex/Construction: The new Prodigy 3.0 is quite significantly different from its predecessor. The old ski was basically shaped like a powder ski that had been put on a diet. Long rocker lines, minimal camber, and plenty of taper. The ski now has much more camber and significantly less rocker at both ends. In short, it is shaped more traditionally for all-mountain performance....

So Covid Made You Into a Backcountry Skier (Part One)

So I wont go too in-depth on gear here, other than to make a few observations. (Stay tuned for an awesome piece from Sklar on the pandemics wide-ranging impact on the industry.) Buy now or prepare for gear to be out of stock later. Do your research well and be careful with older gear. Used Dynafit Beasts are never worth more than $150. You will break them, and replacement parts will probably not be available....

A review of Nothing

Parker White is an infuriatingly talented individual. Watching Nothing was not the first time in life Ive had that thought. The first time I met him was quite early on in my career at Newschoolers. It was at that point that I learned how truly unbelievable at skiing most pro skiers are. My legs were jelly for the rest of the trip. To this day, I think of him as one of the best skiers to watch of all time....

In-Depth Review: 2023 Line Blend

Our review was conducted on the 2021 Blend, which is unchanged for 2022 and 2023. Its also one of Lines biggest sellers, with a devoted following that wont ski anything else. The Line team has been rebuffing any proposed changes to the ski for years too. So to modify it at all, is kind of a big deal. The main changes come to the sidecut and contact points, both of which are pushed forward....
