SLVSH Cup Grandvalira 2019 – Tournament Preview

Hess is no longer a dark horse. A strong opponent for anyone to face. This isnt to say his opponents will have an easy ride. Although given the nature of the beast I dont think its ever safe to name a favourite. His jump game is consistent as all hell too. Jesper is going to throw down the weird and wacky in offence and stay consistent in defence too. Being the rigorous journalist I am I hit the go button on google and did some research....

Does Revelstoke still live up to the hype?

Emily Childs, Tonje Kvivik and Janelle Yip sure think so. The terrain both inbounds and in the backcountry are generally worth the trip out there. Pillow lines, gladed trees and steep chutes litter the mountainside. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bub3-hCAKea/ However, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a little bit unique compared to other nearby resorts. There are only two chairlifts: The Stoke and The Ripper and, of course, the gondola. Tonje spent a winter season in France before a friend recommended her to Revelstoke three years ago....

Kulkea Kantaja Double Roller Ski Bag Review

As someone who has a bit of an addiction to new places, I travel quite a lot. I recently put these notions aside and gave theKulkea Double Roller Ski Baga shot. The organization of the bag was immediately noticeable. Notice the various compartments to organize your gear. Side pockets for accessories are a nice touch. There are four total in the bag. Expansion to 205 cm if you have some super long skis....

"I Feel Like A Million Yen." A Japan Ski Vacation

For those who dont know, one million yen is about $9,000 USD. Organized chaos, or just chaos. From my vantage point on the futon I saw my friends and gear filling every inch of floor space. The window to my side revealed a view of downtown Sapporo and the mountains beyond. Waiting for the bus from downtown Sapporo to ski. Photo: Matt Larson Sapporo, and the mountains beyond.

The Trevor Kennison Interview

Growing up, Trevor was an active kid. With two marathon-running parents, his mom actually played semi-pro soccer too, that was inevitable. Swim racing, playing soccer, snowboarding, playing pick-up basketball, baseball… I was always put into sports, sports, sports, basically always doing something. I could rip the mountain, but I wasnt great at all. His fun, chilled and care-free life was changed forever on November 15 2014… It was a normal day for Trevor, riding Vail Pass with two buddies....

Andy Parry's TAFT at Grouse Mountain

Andy Parrys Tell a Friend Tour came to Grouse Mountain on March 2nd, 2019. It was the second time the tour had graced the west coast resort.

Over 25 years, Grouse Parks have built a very respectable program, serving several generations of riders. Some also workout with the Grouse Freestyle team, some are just locals....

Markus Eder is the Current Leader

In his case, it’s the truth. http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/8826248/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/no/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/3c46d8/stats-code/127MarkusEderNS/ Markus focused his skiing by trying to emulate what he saw in that movie. He set his path. He has brought his freestyle experience to the big mountains and it has been paying off. This season he leads the tour with three podium finishes in three events. Two First Place results and a second place. Perhaps that’s the secret to his success. Photos:...

My unofficial Head Supershape review

Large brands are all the rage right now. Now that might sound cliche and all, but it is the truth. The Supershape line is definitely a new breed of ski. The best was in a couple fresh inches; silky smooth. Head claims the Supershapes to be the softest ski on the market and I beg to differ. They have the flex perfect for the amount of rocker. it’s possible for you to lean in and hold butters and presses forever....
