But there was one young guy youd see on the glacier every day, always doing things differently. That guy was, of course, Sami Ortlieb. _ As far as skiing goes, hes something of an enigma. Sami is most stoked that it allows him the freedom to travel more. It gives me opportunities and experiences I would never have had without skiing. In that, hes mirroring Garrett, someone hes looked up to since his early days....
Roofbox Reviews: Our no bullshit, in-depth ski reviews, by skiers for skiers. Brands send us the sticks and we spend a solid chunk of our own seasons shredding them. The Prodigy 1.0 is a completely new ski for 18-19 and was more or less designed for Alex Hall. My pair also had significantly more than the 3mm of camber listed in the specs. The new ski has a full Poplar core with full sidewalls underfoot and 2....
Words by Jamie Walter Photos courtesy of D-Structure Freeskiing was a lot different back in the year 2000. But where others saw little potential, they saw an opportunity - especially in Quebec. In turn, D-Structure cemented itself as one of the first core shops to fully embrace the movement. Beyond his skiing and work with D-Structure, Belanger has had a major impact on the sport. Take Jacob Belanger, for example....
The wall of skis in the garage is thick with sheetrock dust from a spring remodel. Objectively Im not ready for winter. Since September, winter has weighed heavy on my mind. Im ready for winter, desperate even. Tonight Ill dig out my boots, wear them around the house while I make dinner. Ill find the last remnants of my wax and plug in the iron. Ill inhale the fluorocarbon fumes and sip a beer while I fiddle with my DINs....

Nestled in the surrounding peaks is SkiBig3; Mt. Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise who together boast almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain. So far, this is all very travel brochure though. Next, the transplant, Alexandra Armstrong, an up-and-coming shredder who moved west and never looked back. The Monod family has deep roots in Banff. Founded by the same grandfather, Monod Sports is one of the oldest ski shops in North America....
He won five consecutive British national championships in slopestyle between 2007 and 2011. Since that first title, hes added X Games and World Cup golds. It just so happened that above that park there was a (dry) ski slope. So why did a young skateboarder choose skiing over snowboarding? The gang set off to Austria and carried on all over Europe. It was the start of something beautiful for Woodsy and he still hasnt really left the mountains....

Save it until things have calmed down. Its up to you sport, but remember,no one really gives a fuck what you wear. Head to the liquor store before you make it to the hill to grab your favorite courage juice. Personally, I can eat at almost any hour of the day. After two runs sans features, youll find yourself wishing there was something, anything to jib. Then you spot it: a rotting log....
Parker White had a pretty carefree childhood, growing up in the town of Dorset, Vermont. But day-to-day I dont really do anything. I just kind of wander around the woods, skateboard, swim and just be outside. Filming with him all year was sick, were such good friends. Hes been my roommate for like six years in Montana. It was just a change of pace and I think we both got re-inspired on skiing and just life....
