In-Depth Review: 2023 Vishnu Wide

As with the Wet the edge wrap is neither full nor 4-piece. Instead, the edge is in two pieces, meeting both in the tip and the tail. On the Wide, the two pieces meet at the point of both the tip and the tail. The rocker profile is also borrowed from the Wet but looks less extreme on a wider ski. In a 183, the turn radius is longer at 20m....

David Wise Breaks Highest Quarterpipe Air World Record

Cover photo: Klaus Polzer It was always on the cards with this year’s Audi Nines setup. In fact, it felt somewhat inevitable. I was just enjoying myself and I started going a little higher each time, said Wise. I never got to the point where I was terrified. I eventually got some butterflies, but butterflies in a good way. We just kept going higher and higher. Well, technically at least....

In-Depth Review: 2023 Vishnu Wet

_ I want to start this review by saying that I am not superfan of all things Vishnu. I love the idea of a small, street-focused brand being successful. They have blown up on NS and I’m stoked for them. And now, on to the actual review. The skis have a full sidewall construction and textured topsheets. The edges are fairly middle of the range, I measure 2x2mm. I asked Emmet for the turn radius, which is 17m on the 177cm model....

WSSF 2019 Was a Celebration of Whistler's Best

The 2019 World Ski and Snowboard Festival is in the books. A common refrain among guests was this: WSSF eh? Still, the most important event for us at Newschoolers was the JP Memorial. This is a cradle of mountain culture. There was high drama as host Micah Abrams weathered an onslaught of yelling about the veracity of certain answers. For the record, the first ever switch backflip was landed by JF Cusson, not Philou Poirier....

Blizzard ZeroG 105 ski review

For review, Blizzard provided the ZeroG 105 ski in 180cms length. To recap, the ZG105’s predecessor (released in 2015) was theZeroG 108touring ski. The ZG108 was an instant cult-classic. People loved the ZG108; it made me a Blizzard fan-boi. The ZG108 made few concessions to user error. SPECIFICATIONS The Blizzard ZeroG 105 is manufactured in lengths of 164, 172, 180 and 188 cms. I am reviewing the 180cms length which has a sidecut of 134-105-120 and a turning radius of 23m....

FREERIDE MOUNTAIN BIKE PHOTOGRAPHER WINS PRO PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWDOWN AT WORLD SKI & SNOWBOARD FESTIVAL

It was about pushing the limits of the sport, like any extreme sport aims to do. The slideshow wove together nine minutes of photos from the past 15 years of Di Lullos career. I cannot even understand right now, he added. Ive been looking at this contest forever. I thought I would never be able to even get invited. For some lucky alignment of planets I got invited in, and I even won it....

Japan // A New Beginning

https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/930981/J-A-P-A-N----A-New-Beginning Within the ski and snowboard world Japan has built an impressive reputation. For decades skiers and film crews have been traveling to Japan for the same reason. The seemingly never ending supply of deep, light, powder. All of these things peaked our interest and motivated our journey to the Land of the Rising Sun. Ive never felt a reason to define what makes those moments so unique, and sometimes surreal....
