Hood fully above the clouds! Session 3 truly went off! Our Takeover Pros were Maggie Voisin, Alex Hall and Khai Krepela. Even a Backie and Switch Frontie Clinic with A-Hall, there was an activity for every camper! Maggie spent her days on hill going hard our Two Pack Jumpline. Khai in classic form, got down all the metal in our parks. Ethan Swadburg is still going strong attempting to break the sound barrier, hes getting close....
Fast forward to mid session, these grinning faces were linking hero lines all through park. Crazy Karl in classic fashion was finding burley lines that required a pair to say the least. Wachs truly was on another level, ripping surf inspired lines The Wave all session. From burley airs to swevery slashes Wachs was one with The Wave. Campers could not resist the firing swells of The Wave. After lunch campers were getting theirs in, pulling countless tow rope laps and getting barreled with Wachs....
Big shout out to our Digger Squad for creating and maintaining this masterpiece. From Midday Jib Sessions hosted Magnus and Alex where pairs of ON3Ps were up for grabs. Taylor Lundquist had something up her sleeve for the ladies, hosting a girls only Ski Then Skate. Campers had nothing short of an action packed session. Creative mind Jake Mageau is constantly innovating, we will call this one a Safety Blunt Slide....
https://www.instagram.com/p/BkTmuYxA1oW/?hl=en&taken-by=hgskis It’s hard to believe that it’s been 8 years since the HG Skis brand was founded, following four years of prototyping. It’s always sad to see any ski brand go out of business, but given the quality of their movies year after year, the announcement that HG are shutting up shop is a particularly bitter pill to swallow. One can only assume that the incredible videos they put out never translated in to sales, but one thing is for certain, those videos will ensure the brand is never forgotten....

What can you say when somebody as well written and traveled as Anthony Bourdain passes on? It was a shock. I came home from a long introspective drive from New Hampshire, and sat in the car. I was listening to music and thinking about all the bullshit in life. I hatched a plan to get away from it all. I pulled up a ticket to head to Bali, Indonesia and planned to leave as soon as tomorrow....
Bull Mountain was created and run for many decades by Herbert “Papa” Muntz. Alterra Mountain Company’s John Major plans to purchase the mountain to add to the Ikon pass. Major announced that should the sale go through, Rock Rambis will be taking over as mountain manager. Alterra also plans on adopting employee uniforms to match their other resorts. Locals protested outside the south lot shortly after the news broke. “I was bummin' in a hole in the wall town in what is now called Utah....
There’s no rush to find fresh powder or frozen toes in ski boots. Apres doesn’t have a beginning or end. Cheers to everyone who got after it this year. See you all at Beartooth.
ReadPart 1 of this reviewto see a blood and guts technical dork-fest about the SHIFT. In this part 2 we’ll offer our impressions about the SHIFT. I say “we” because this review shares three perspectives. Tom is also bigger and a park and inbounds skier who occasionally tours. Some people will approach this from the perspective of powder-snob dorks who are used to Dyna-fiddling. Some will be the HULK- SMASH camp....
All quotes from the committee are rough translations. Ski or Die was judged as a whole from event concept to visual identity and social media presence. Having beaten over 1000 entries in their category, this award is no joke to win. The 11 finalists are selected by a jury that includes the biggest names from the creative business in Finland. Everything from social media, videos, event reach, and more were submitted as part of the contest....

So what/where/who are the Henry Mountains? The Henry Mountains are the last mapped mountains of the lower 48. Its overlooked by most locals and tourists because nearby destinations offer world-class versions of the same outdoor activities. Theressomehiking andsomeclimbing and if you arrive at the right timesomeskiing too. Just, literally anywhere else would offer better options. As a self-proclaimed expert at laccoliths, my goal was to ski them. Thus began our five-hour drive south on the eve of my birthday....
Earlier today, the X Games Norway jump played host to Men’s Qualification. 8 guys had to compete for just 2 spots, with the other 6 finalists pre-qualified. It seems super harsh to have that high a percentage of spots pre-qualified but it is what it is. No jam session this year either, with a more standard 3 run, best two count format. Bitching aside, the finals were a great show of how insane big air skiing has become....
