For the rest, well, there’s a lot less out there. We’ll also be awarding a Jury’s Pick trophy and a Hall Of Fame addition in due course. Skiers who think outside the box, break boundaries and don’t always have the biggest of budgets. Of course, this isn’t a perfect science. Tough shit but feel free to give us an earful. How we judge these is again, down to a certain amount of… flavor and judges discretion....
The 2nd annual B-Dog Off The Leash in Shawinigan’s parc de la riviere Grand-Mere was a huge success. An event made by a skier, for skiers and viewers. The street inspired setup was thought out and built so that give plenty of options to the skiers. Some were focused on lines, while others focused on one hit. Phil “Bboy” Boily-Doucet on the first feature of the course Freeski legends were everywhere....

They are the reason we can ski the powder the Western U.S. is famous for. Not to mention pretty much all of them would rip any line better than you could. These professional ski patrollers collectively fighting for themselves are similar souls. They are our hard-working neighbors who love skiing more than anyone....
The stage was set for an incredible showdown in skiing’s most fearsome freestyle arena. _ Recap Women The ladies kicked things off with a bang. This earned 90.50 leaving room to improve switch 3 Japan can go to 7. Amy Fraser & Rachel Karker logged early DNIs either side of Zoe’s 2nd run. A scary looking fall but she skied out all good. Svea Irving fell and wouldn’t improve her final score....
Bringing an urban-style rail jam format to X Games. The fast flowing jam format brought out the best in all involved.

Marion and Eleanor both won spots into the main event Street Style Pro in Aspen. Eileen took the W....

I learned that hes a keen painter and photographer, and applies his artists eye to spot selection. More than anything, hes a dedicated student of the sport. He knows skiing inside out and loves the tiniest details of this niche passion we all know and love. But he also has a strong vision for the future. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. _ Hey Dennis, I hope you’re doing well....
_ Youve had an impressive career to date. Do you have an all-time favorite moment skiing? That’s tough… there are so many. I can’t pick just one. I guess the best days for me are the days at home shredding with friends. But a real highlight would be the Olympics in Beijing. That was a pretty insane day. When I did a double backflip over the half pipe that was crazy....
Jokes aside, the jump in Beijing is perfect and this was a truly spectacular display of our sport. So get your calculators out and your physics textbooks, it’s going to be a wild one! Menting Liu also put down a 1440 in run 1, the level of womens skiing is insane. Sarah Hoefflin opted for a dub 10 Japan - locked in at the second time of asking. It was enough to bump her into 3rd....
The new Pivot has everything you loved about the original Pivot, but you know… better. Well, really there was one big one to be honest, a lack of adjustment. The new model comes with twice as much adjustment making it way easier to live with. The new Pivot fixes that too with extra protection to avoid any unplanned surprises. Aside from that it’s pretty much the same old Pivot, AKA the best binding on the market....

It’s always good to see slopestyle back though. It’s a challenge at the best of times and this felt pretty next level. The first run saw an opening salvo from many of the usual suspects. Mac Forehand, Matej & in particular Andri Ragettli threw down some absolute hammers. The second run saw some big runs go down and a real shakeup of the provisional podium. Unfortunately, the wind picked up a LOT for the women’s runs making things very challenging....
