Best Contests And Events Over The Years

In these dark and trying times we need heroes. Here are some of the most consistent, creative, and downright wild contests and setups over the years. An event most of us(other than a few sick fucks) wish still continued. This is definitely worth a spot in this list. Killer attention to detail, gorgeous jumps, and the athletes always delivered. Bummed it’s done but glad it ran for a while. It was a good one....

When the Gang Goes to Ski

It’s not even a question. But as with all things in life, temptation awaits, just around the corner. Think of it as a hall pass from your home resort to one of the neighbors. Is the snow better? Are the moguls softer? Is the terrain steeper? Maybe that Brighton has some killer weed to smoke. Her cute older sister, Solitude might have some cool new things to show you in her room....

The People VS: Skiing

Bob when asked about the suit. Last I checked this was America, the land of freedom and spring instagram selfies. “Wut?!?!?!? you’re able to’t tell me I can’t fly from Florida to ski that! You don’t friggin own it! Plenty of skier dads are shaking their fist at the sky with you. We’ve also established a hotline for agro skiers who feel the world has wronged them. Call toll free at 1-800-QUITCHER-BITCHIN....

Adopt A Ski Bum

These are trying times in the ski industry. 9/10 ski bums are currently homeless. Sure they might have been homeless before Corona, but still, have a friggin heart. Sara McLachlan has teamed up to help provide relief. 8% of ski bums are risking sobriety right now during this economic shutdown. At least 50% will go without enough booze to get properly fucked up. Skiing was bred and developed around beer....

Lawson's Finest Super Sessions

Being the first Super Sessions, things did not always go according to plan. This gave the event a homie feel which complimented the crew nicely. Bobby Sullivan and Chris Bechtold stood out the most from when I was there. Im not a ramp guy but it was wild watching the jump hits logged throughout the week. Bush is known for its rails, and the setup did not disappoint. Skiing between the features is equally important as skiing the features....

Social Distancing

Juho Kilkki has long been one of skiing’s outliers. I first met Juho a few years later, at the legendary Backyard Park in Savitaipale. He can do just about anything, first try. But while his technical talent is undeniable, it’s his mind that is truly unique. It’s a cliche to say that creative skiers are ‘artists’, who see things differently. In Juho’s case, that doesn’t go far enough. He’s playing with a whole different deck of cards, as much mad scientist as an artist....

The Season Is Done But Skiing Isn't!

The abrupt end to the season sucks pretty hard. The important thing is that there will be other seasons, other chances, other sunny park laps. Not everyone can ski every day, not everyone wants to. Honestly trying too hard to take advantage of every second of every day sounds friggin exhausting. Sure the season ended early, suddenly, and sort of painfully, but we had a season. I don’t want to preach, even though I’m preaching....
