Cover photo: Rearview mountains. And how could it not? As most of you have probably realized, skiings a fantastic way to relieve pressure. For me, COVID brought these traits of the skiing experience into a position of sharp contrast. Theres an element of privilege couched in these observations. In 2020 the whole world suffered. And, against this backdrop, skiing remains somewhat prohibitive, both in terms of cost and culture. For example, the average ski day runs about $100-$200 in cost per person....
Hey guys, Nick again aka SkierPT. His story is intense and his comeback has been special. I hope you guys enjoy this short read! For those who dont know your full story, it is truly remarkable for better and worse. If any, what significant injuries have you had and how did that change your outlook on skiing? I had to fight through the concussion symptoms for the next 7 years about- maybe longer....
The event showcased some of the best skiers in the world doing what they do best. Young guns like Matej, Jennie-Lee Burmansson and Kim Gubser shared the stage with legends like Dollo and Candide. Shoutout to Matej for his triple backflip off the step up on the final day, by the way. This was reflected with less pressure for firsts and records in 2021. Matej slayed every time he rode this week and won the rider voted ‘Ruler of the week’ award....
I hope your closing day was awesome!

I dont know what it feels like to be much of a professional anything in skiing. I do know what it feels like towantto be a professional whatever in skiing. I know that feeling really well. And Instagram has made it even easier to progress along that path....

My answer to that question was a professional skier. Now, this image is not skewed from what it means to be a pro-skier. It takes extreme dedication, talent, hard-work, and motivation, just as any other athlete in sports. Yet, as I got older, I realized that throwing backflips and sliding rails is not my forte. I thought of winning gold medal at the Winter Olympics. I thought of skiing the steepest and deepest lines every day....
Cover photo: Late night fuel stop. Hunter S. Thompson sped towards Las Vegas with a crowd of hallucinatory bats in tow. Christopher McCandless hauled himself into the Alaskan wilderness in the hopes of discovering some version of freedom. These tales somehow capture something essential and undeniably memorable about the skiing experience, why? Moments later a car pulled alongside us to see if we were okay. Two adults up front asked some customary questions, and the kids in the rear buzzed with excitement....
But in the end, both a car and a snow feature should be pleasing to the eye. Design and aesthetics have always been an important aspect of the Audi Nines, says event founder Nico Zacek. The result of Sebastians vision is something that we never could have hoped to dream of. The venue centres around a double-sided main feature complex that is approachable from opposite directions. The design features a massive step-up and other innovations include a massive snow sphere 8 meters in diamete....
My two least favorite concepts in skiing are suffering and conquering. And when we stand on top of mountains we do not conquer them. Backcountry ski blades help combat both of those ideas. Four months ago, I publishedthis piecethat explained why I wanted to try backcountry snowblading. They are 110 mm wide underfoot, fully rockered, with plenty of tip taper and a swallowtail. They are 108 cm long. I dont really care....
They will therefore be bequeathing X Games judging duties to the Newschoolers.com forums. A true victory indeed for Newschoolers. My guy Cal Carlson deserves a spot, hes a real one. While we wont have full control of the field, this should be a massive improvement. The rule, introduced for 2021, was supposed to reduce complaints but backfired spectacularly. We think there might be a minimum ski length requirement and our technical team is looking into solutions ASAP....
