I recently had the pleasure of hosting Down Rails & Doublekinks at Sugarbush Parks in Vermont. This was the 5th and certainly the best rendition of the occasion so far. There was a line at registration for nearly the full two hours it was open. So many people came out to enjoy the day that we ran out of waivers. All told, there were about 150 skiers who joined the fun....

Before the dog lived with us, she did not know what skiing was. She knows were going skiing as soon as I start to undress. She knows her responsibility, knows shes not invited without her leash. But today were just going skiing. She has a myriad of ways to predict if we might take her skiing. After all, much of her life revolves around its promise. But she tries to read the trickier ones too....
Uphill Hojis CC is definitely built to support you no matter what while going fast downhill. Both of these models are more dedicated touring options for skiers looking for lighter alternatives. I mounted Dynafit Rotation 14s on my skis which are not the lightest either. I like knowing I can rely on my gear on long-day and multi-day trips in the backcountry. Downhill Steeps and big mountain: The Hojis CC are at home in steep and big mountain terrain....
year 11 “There can only be one, Master Shredder” a few things to do before the event: -Fill out a waiver online before the event -get a lift ticket while you are at it (disregard if you have a season pass)Trollhaugen sells lift tickets in advance. There is a good chance they sell out if you wait till day-of day of the event sign up for Master Shredder at the bottom of Tomte....
Like many camps, this one seems to progress and change year to year.
Daniel & I have been talking about this event for a while. And the crew is gonna be stacked. Each invited skier will be accompanied a filmer of their choice. However, fans wont need to wait all summer long to see the action. Stacked riders roster A diverse field of top freeski talent is expected next month in Destne. More invitees will be announced in the coming days. I want to support the sport in Czechia and the local community, says Hanka....
That point was probably the furthest from skiing, both literally, and metaphorically, Ive ever been. I wanted to ski so badly, and there was just nothing I could do to make that happen. But that begs the question, how long of a drive to ski is too long? Or would I quit and find something else to fill my winters with? How many hours do you drive to ski? How many hours would you drive if you had to?...
The Wildcat 101 is about 100 grams heavier per ski than the equivalent length of the PB&J. Because thats exactly what the Wildcat 101 is designed to be. The edges were incredibly sharp, with the rockered portions slightly detuned. At the same time they also have a pretty significant amount of camber underfoot. Mixed conditions: In soft chop/crud the Wildcat 101 performed very well. If firmer chop/ refrozen under soft chop I was not super impressed with the Wildcat 101....
Competition in freeskiing always brings controversy and innovation, often in equal measure. This year was no different. Although skiing managed to stay somewhat out of the spotlight in terms of judging decisions… thanks to snowboarding. If seeingA Halls slopestyle wizardry(feat. A style clinic went down from a team of riders weve certainly yet to see even the best from. Matej and Dani Bacher are the future. Eileens right dub 16 came through so clutch to back up her left dub 14....
After a four-year wait, the Olympics have passed in a flash. Saturday morning (in China) saw the last freeski event of the Beijing games go down in Genting. It was a great show to close out the games but the riders would have hoped for better conditions. He picked up speed and went massive on his dub 14 scoring 86. Noah Bowman put it down too but skipped one of his switch doubles as the wind blasted the pipe....
