With Covid protocols easing, I’m looking forward to riding the lift with more strange characters this season. Do you know any of these people? Maybe you are some of these people?

At the same time as the IF3 x Newschoolers live urban screening at the infamous TRH-Bar, we will also be hosting an online screening of some of this year’s heaviest flicks. If it’s possible for you to’t make it to get messy on the night, this is the next best thing. The movie lineup will be different from the in-person screening, and these are the movies it’s possible for you to expect to catch:...

Pictured: A line for Killingtons K1 Gondola in December 2019. Visitors will be able to bypass this wait next season with the purchase of a Fast Tracks pass. Senator has gotten involved. Additionally, the program may bring an aura of commercialization to these resorts. However, we sincerely doubt that resort experiences will change enough to warrant reneging on a pass purchase.

And, of course, that makes sense. At first glance its the photographers job to make a good photo, not the skiers after all. So here are my takeaways for working with skiers, from no-names, to household ones. Caveats These rules mostly apply when youre out shooting with a photographer with intent. Communication is key Duh. You knew that already. But, theres more subtlety and nuance to it than just that blanket statement....

Perhaps inevitably, we ended up discussing his thoughts on the state of skiing as a whole too. My favorite film was Marcus Eders project. That edit gave me a feeling Ive never had before. That edit right there alone made this whole trip worth it. Its hard to see an edit like that and not want to keep pursuing shit. Thats sick, he did his job, he made a lot of people want to go skiing....

Last yearI put together a backcountry checklist to help make my backcountry ski routine easier and safer. This is the new, improved, and updated version, with new gear and new questions. Its purpose is two-fold. That link will allow you to download two full-res .pdfs. The main one is designed to be printed on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper, and then laminated. Your local print shop can do this. Get a dry erase marker, and fill it out every time you head out into the hills....

A line for the Mineral Basin lift at Snowbird in March 2021. However, the initiative is completely new for the other three mountains. Passes go on sale November 1. This decision is sure to make money for all the resorts involved. Well be sure to stop by these resorts next season to see for ourselves.

Freshly fallen leaves crinkle as we coast our bikes along the mouth of the canyon. The highest peaks have a light dusting of snow, but everything else is still bone dry. Were in the middle of one of the most saturated autumns Ive ever experienced. We stop for water at the trail intersection, and I look down the draw. Ive stood here on skis countless times. Ive ridden out of that butter four or five times in as many years....

Its a Thursday evening at any given Midwest ski hill. The sun is setting but its hard to see it from the bottom of the hill. The lines arent long, just long enough to wait a few chairs. Four strangers group up for the one minute and 30 second ride to the top. Just long enough for the usual pleasantries. What the others wont learn about this young guy is his need for expression....

In this episode, we sit down with Rob Heule to hear about growing up in Canada, competing on the pipe circuit, joining the Traveling Circus, filming video projects, and more. @TwoPlankerPod https://www.instagram.com/twoplankerpod/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DoaAVYv69xAV50r8ezybK Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-planker-podcast/id1546428207 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRvAYQSF4s3bsC887ALAycg Left Right Left: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NavIIDrABok&ab_channel=TheNorthFace PC:@KyleGibson.jpeg https://instagram.com/kylegibson.jpeg?utm_medium=copy_link Show Notes: 0:00:00 Line Skis ad read 0:00:29 Intro 0:01:10 Rob Heule background 0:11:50 Getting into terrain park, skiing at COP, getting into making videos...

Me at a glance:185cm & 75kg These skis were super fun to get on and have a play around. Theyre super light and mightily agile. In my brief stint on these skis, I had an absolute blast. Next on my personal agenda is keeping my hands off the snow when getting buttery like this. Honestly, in the time I spent on them they were great. This meant these skis were comparatively stable and for a ski of their length and flex....

1000 Skis, operating out of Are, Sweden have come to shake up the industry. Par: Wed been talking a lot about the skateboard industry compared to the ski industry. How it started from nothing therefore all the skate brands are owned by actual skateboarders. Whereas freeskiing started from regular skiing so its got some baggage. So wed been talking a lot about that and how skiers should be supporting skiers....
