Thats equally great for filming your buddies but also translates to far smoother POV shots. All with less to charge, carry and inevitably break/drop off the lift. HyperSmooth is also applied to timelapse video in a new feature called TimeWarp. It allows you to capture stabilized timelapse videos even while moving about. Its all handled within the camera, something made possible by increasing the internal memory to 2GB. GoPros UI has always been one of the best, but the Hero7s is even more intuitive....

The surrounding villages are small and remote, and the lifts run from 9 to 7. This is Ruka, the home to some of the hottest skiing talents on the planet. It also played host most recent Slvsh Cup featuring the local talent in a Finland vs The World format. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3GGZcArIU/ First things first, what makes the skiers from Ruka so damn good? I asked Joss, and his answer wasnt about something in the drinking water....

From contests wins to video parts, Tanner has continued to re-invent his game for over 20 years.

Cover: Fabian Boesch shot by Jamie Walter Skiing is insane right now. Teale and Woodsy also put down clean putting respectable scores on the board. Woodsy also cleaned things up a tad, though his grab on the dub 16 is confusing. Gus put down his cleanest run of the day, but could still only manage an 84. ABM put down the first mindfuck of a rail run with four super technical tricks....

Around 300 spectators got to watch skiers and snowboarders throw down on 3 features built specifically for the event. Every year we have a go at make it more creative. With every heat being heavier than the last, judges had quite the task of selecting the worthy finalists. If you have an opportunity to bring people together its definitely worth it. The community cant grow without everyone getting involved added Sudermann....

Boesch also cleaned things up, and again, took over first place with a 94.00. Colby Stevenson kept it tech but unfortunately came off the last rail early. Jesper did Jesper things, ending his run with a switch backie off the bottom donkey over the can. Henrik brought the steeze with a switch lip safety slide back 2 out but crashed on his final trick. Alex Hall then raised the bar with probably the most tech contest rail run I’ve ever seen....

Cover Photo: Giulia Tanno flying high. Kelly Sildaru, Tess Ledeux, Maggie Voisin and more threw down hard in both sections. Still good enough for second with an 82 though. Sarah H sent a switch right 10 to the moon and went down hard because of impact. Run three saw Kelly go three for three on stomps, but couldn’t improve her score. She actually finished second in the jib section but unfortunately her jump score held her back in fourth overall....

Khai Krepela, crowd pleaser at Dew Tour Streetstyle 2017. Streetstyle is located in downtown Breckenridge, drawing energetic crowds and creative approaches to a unique course. However, Dew Tour Streetstyle was an event that only included a mens category until this year. Lupe Hagearty gettin' low on course last year. Taking inspiration from their Girls Who Ride, (G.W.R. ), events, Nikita approached Dew Tour on including a womens category in Streetstyle....

For some, it means a 78 underfoot directional carver with a little tip rocker for ‘float’. For others, it means skis like the Volkl Mantra, which allow you to charge in all conditions. For most of us, these are the skis that became our actual daily drivers. The Chronic is our pick for a harder snow focused all-mountain ski that still keeps it fun. That camber makes them a capable carving tool too despite a fairly soft, buttery flex pattern....

#1 Trollhaugen Dresser, Wisconsin Coming in at number one on the list is Trollhaugen. Troll is located 50 minutes northeast of the Twin Cities in Dresser, Wisconsin. Known for its fun and creative set ups, Troll attracts pros from around the world. Spirit has a whopping 70 acres of terrain park area and usually has about 75 features. However, this is a must hit park due to its size and versatility....

Cassie Sharpe is the reigning Olympic Champion in Women’s Halfpipe Skiing. She won gold in Pyeongchang, Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics. That’s a very significant, life altering accomplishment. Its one that brings seemingly limitless accolades and praise but can also be very taxing. She tells us how things have changed for her and also how she deals with all the challenges. http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/7827479/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/87A93A/stats-code/115CassieSharpeNS/ Cassie is always striving to improve. Throughout the conversation the humorous Sharpe regales with great stories....

Each shot taken feels better than the last, and excitement grows exponentially because of it. Clouds swelled and collapsed in the neighboring valleys, only adding to the stoke for such an insane setting. It is hard to maintain any emotion other than gratitude for being in a part of those surroundings. Competition skiing is a controversial topic for many people. There is often very little conversation unless it occurs between team members or coaches....

As is normal for her in slopestyle, she dominated proceedings with perfect technique. _ Men: T-Sizzle came out of the blocks swinging with a great score of 86. His use of multiple axes and directions (and fewer doubles) always makes him a standout to watch. On run number two pretty much everyone crashed. Shoutout Nico Porteous for the all zero spin run after throwing his second run away. Nobody else managed to change up the order, leaving Blunck, Miguel P and David Wise as 1,2,3....
