Renowned for its light dry powder, Utah attracts skiers and snowboarders from around the world. What is your local resort? I grew up at Ski Roundtop, Pennsylvania. For the last 5 years, I’ve been skiing Park City, Utah. For the sake of this interview, I’ll use Park City. Why does the resort hold a special place in your heart? This resort is special because i grew up watching pros like Tanner Hall shred it....
Practice is about to start here in Storlien with riders-meeting. 20-30 competitors in the field, and 10 moves on to the finals tomorrow.
USASA is one of our favorite events each year, because it is a big reunion. Jeanette and Angela have been hanging out in the tent getting everyone stoked for summer 2012! We have new stickers, too! Sean from Wisconsin and his family came by and we added some new stickers to his helmet. The weather in Colorado can be pretty variable. Mary and Angela have been enjoying the sun whenever it is out....
So, day one of Jacob Wester’s TrickBagChallenge went down today with practice. 20-25 riders sessioned the slopestyle-course and railpark all day in mixed-weather conditions. First feature; Downbar og Flatdown Railbox. The jumps had to be slightly adjusted throughout the day, but I think they are pretty sick. Floaty jumps with plenty hangtime. Most skiers spent the afternoon in the railyard, which is REALLY fun! Can’t wait for tomorrows qualifiers with everyone on the startlist....
Amplid HQ was sent this gnarly snap of Austrian Ambush rider Fabian Sandholzer attacking what looks like an impossible 9 kink wooden hand rail, designed exclusively to damage snowboarders foolish enough to give it a go. Well we haven’t heard from Austrian Ambush team manager Harry Juen if Fabian made it, but here is a follow-up photograph of Fabian painfully close to the end. By “close”, I mean three kinks and a leg breaking close-out rail from victory....

Lighting and composition are the key components of any great shot. This article discusses how to get the best of both to nail an awesome berm shot. This is the 2nd part in our three part berm series. you’re free to read the first part here.Now that you have a great location, it's time to figure out what angle and lens will work best. We like to do this before setting up any flashes because then we will know exactly where to put the flashes to get the best possible lighting, without having them in the shot....
Flatlight Films are known for their Nipwitz episodes and they’re always good. The latest Nipwitz episode cements that idea as they head to Sarajevo for some shred. It was their heaviest snowfall for quite some time and the people are incredible. Take some time to watch this and you won’t regret it! In 2012 Sarajevo was an excellent ski trip destination.

Just had breakfast here in Storlien. Getting ready for practice to Jacob Westers competition, and the course looks sick! Spent some time hanging out with Kim yesterday.
Mountains around the area closed early this year, leaving many of New England’s ski fanatics in disappointment. As for those who hit the jumps, they are never quite done, at Mt. Snow this year we interviewed 18 year old park rider, Kevin Imtala. Outside is a planned outdoor turf park with up to 10 features! The warehouse the company is looking as does contain an area for parking. We here at SkiNE believe this is the evolution of...

They took some creative lifestyle photos in traditional Austrian dresses with the invited photographers....
