A complete whiteout scenery was what met me in the morning-hours today. I was hoping for a little sunshine but I was wrong. It’s impossible to get a perfect day in Sweden or Norway when skiing. Second jump, half-way through out my little snow-shovelling workout. I feel that all I have been doing this week has been to move snow. I didn’t even care to move all the snow. I wanted to hit jumps!...
The slopestyle comp in Snowbasin came down to two riders – Tom Wallisch and Nick Goepper. Nick managed to fend off Wallisch but his second place still allowed him to take the overall crown. With Bobby Brown finishing in third place, it was a one hell of a podium. Heading to the jumps he stomped a switch left double cork 1080 to switch double cork 1440. On the kickers he threw a switch double cork 1080 to switch right double cork 1080....
Bluebird powder day in EV. A ton of hungry pow hounds were out early and the carnival was on. They didn’t play well together. West Wall slid naturally, pretty much the whole thing, below the first set of small rocks. Tele Line had tracks but no activity that I could see. Below, a significant debris pile ran beneath them into the flats and no obvious tracks out. Did a search of the debris pile with Luke and thankfully found no signals....

Looks like he has stopped thinking and started skiing. Looks like so much fun every day!
Atomic is incredibly excited about the addition and will work closely with Richard to support his tremendous progression. We are stoked to see Richard making the move. For now check out this little video from the 2011 season. His high-performance versatility, infectious smile and boundless energy have quickly helped Richard become a powerhouse with Matchstick Productions. Look for a huge segment from him this year as MSP celebrates their 20th anniversary....
I think that will be my new winter-motto! Everything is more than nothing, right? After yesterdays not so successful session in Meraker, I was hungry for a little skiing today. Or, so I thought. Cant’t wait to ski tomorrow!
Cartel rider Stefan Falkeis’ balance of big kahunas and style is framed perfectly in this shot of a jagged boulder Miller Flip by photographer Michael Obex. It’s such a rad snap that it’s been plastered across Method Mag’s homepage for the last week as the coverted “Shot of the Week”. Congratulations Stefan!
Will Bateman is one of our favorite people. He’s hilarious, an awesome friend, and a heck of a good snowboarder. Oh yeah, he is sick on a skateboard, too. Will is always down to shred with campers and help them learn new tricks. His riding is really creative and he offers up a unique look at lines and features in the park. When I was like 15 I was a camper here....
The two skiers rip around Jackson Hole Mountain Resort one-upping each other and bust backflips into fresh powder. “Almost Live” plants you on location with the TGR crew. You will be able to track our progress throughout the season, and watch the drama unfold.
Anna Segal, one part of ColdAsIce.tv, straps on the GoPro for another storming edit in the A51 park at Keystone. It’s one of those edits that makes you sit back and remember that she’s one incredible rider.

“I’m moving to Jackson”. Four words uttered under my breath in hushed, revered tones upon hanging up the phone. Sometimes you don’t realize how ready you were to move until after the fact. Sure, there have been prior attempts to flee, but this one will endure. It takes 20/20 hindsight vision to see the daily warnings; all treated with an agnostic point of view. It’s a liberating feeling to leave all accumulated baggage at the state line....
A few new features got slapped in place yesterday thanks to the park crew and local riders. First hand experience says? They’re really fun.
