#138 Evan McEachran Evan McEachran is a Canadian, professional Slopestlye and Big Air skier. We’re glad he did. http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/12128483/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/000000/ Evan loves competition. Enjoying the rush and embracing nerves were actually a reason for many poor results early on in his career. Evan tells us he has now enlisted the help of a sports psychologist.

This is a ski the team had a lot of input into and loves to ski. Shape/Flex/Construction: The Revolt 121 is a big ski. 121mm underfoot and 143 in the tip, with a generous helping of early taper. When you put them on your feet, they look huge. That’s partly because they are big, and particularly because of how tapered they are. They have a lot of rocker too, 46cm in both the tip and tail by my measure....

Level 1 isn’t dead, far from it, in fact. I would suggest that Strictly look best placed to fill that gap. The movie is a perfect, near equal, blend of street, park and backcountry freestyle. Perhaps the true standout here is the unbelievable editing. My take is there’s an increasing amount of over-editing in the industry as technology improves. I want to see the best of the skiing without it being messed with too much....

As already mentioned, Orage came out with new branding this fall. What most people may have missed is that they are also celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. All these riders have two things in common: authenticity and passion. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/943345/Celebrating-our-30th-season--uniquesine89 Orage started out as a passion project.

Alterra Mountain Company has acquired Sugarbush. They now own 14 destinations in the U.S.A and 27 world wide. I skied at Sugarbush for one year. My family rented a condo close to the mountain and we bought season passes. The terrain is top notch, especially for the east coast. One thing, however, makes Sugarbush stand out from other mountains. The second you get to the mountain, you get a skiers feel....

Good thing he was also an award-winning filmmaker who had plenty of downtime to hone his craft. Its an awesome conversation. And regrets 71:00: Inappropriate Questions with Clayton Vila

They are open to all brands, big or small, whether they work with Newschoolers or otherwise. Our editors' picks are exactly the same. But of course, they all excel on the powder side of things. I don’t often need a ton of width when I’m riding in Europe. They are fun in the park, but their float is probably their most impressive attribute. Or those looking for a pow ski that can also be a daily driver....

The in-depth review of the new 2021 Faction Prodigy 3.0 can be found here. Intro: Shape/Flex/Construction: At 104mm the Prodigy 3.0 is a pretty versatile width. The ski shape is pretty freeride oriented with fairly smooth, long rocker lines to match the taper. The flex of the ski is pretty stiff throughout. By the time you get close to and under the binding, its a 9.5/10 situation. The tails follow a similar pattern, the flex feels fairly symmetrical....

Ski graphics have changed a lot over the years. These are my picks for 2020, in no particular order. 1.Faction Skis x Pit Viper Monoski Yes, Faction made a monoski. No, they didn’t teleport to the 80s to retrieve it. Will you be able to stomp dub backies on it like SuperUnknown winnerBlake Wilson? That doesn’t mean this Hotline Miami looking ski is a bad idea to add to the quiver....
