24/25 Icelantic Nomad 100

It bucks like the Bronco it displays on the topsheet, but is soft and playful enough to control. Disclaimer; I messed up on sizing, they ride short. I religiously ride 185 or the closest to it. So when faced with the choice of 182 or 188, I took the safe route with 182. So first note, if youre between sizes, GO UP, they measure slightly shorter than advertised. The big update from the tried and true 95 is the poplar wood core supported by carbon stringers....

I made a book of all my NS comics!

Its been a minute. I spent last winter working a real big kid job, and dealing with a torn up knee. But, Im back, with comics! Over a decade ago Newschoolers was my introduction to the ski industry. Thank you so much gents! So I made this book. Building this book was a process, I went deep, through old work that Id forgotten existed. And the final product ended up being kinda large....

In-Depth Review: 2025 Armada ARV 112

The new ARV 112 is noticeably different and all the better for it. Shape/Flex/Construction: Matching the shape of the rest of the ARV line, the 112 is still very freestyle. It sits at 135 in the tip, and a mere 5mm skinnier at 130mm in the tail. The taper to 112mm underfoot is definitely less aggressive than many other skis in the category. To put it loosely, you know its an Armada when you ski it....

How I Made My Own MASHUP Line BLENDS

Let’s go back to October, 2021… actually, let’s not. Anyway, I mounted these skis up and enjoyed them for a few seasons. HERES HOW I DID IT. Starting from the bottom, or should I say the rarest ski you’ll never own. The 2021 Line Special Blend, mounted with Will Wesson’s used Marker Jesters. I removed the Jesters with a trusty screwgie. Using spray Goof Off, I wiped the top sheets of any onlookers cream and haters dried tears....

Real Talk, ASH and life as a sponsored skier

Cover Photo: Owen Dahlberg. There arent too many ATV skiers these days. Then again, there arent too many skiers like Hunter Hess full stop. Hes something of a paradox. Hunter is clearly motivated by tangible competition success and is certainly very competitive when points are on the line. He runs with much the same crew year after year producing banger movies. _ Whats up Hunter, been a minute. Lets open with one about ASH the new Magma movie, you filmed this one in Europe, right?...

Radical RED's Ski Resort

Cover photo: Ryan Flett Radical RED. And almost none of that terrain is anything other than fun. The craziest thing from my experience was the endless possibilities. If you see a way through, you’ve got the option to ski it. A cat track will catch you at the bottom of just about anything you’d want to drop into. So when it dumps, you could be skiing deep pow every run for the next few days....

FIS World Cup Big Air 24-25, Switzerland& Recap

For those who did pay attention, the question ‘was that really a butter?’ Rell Harwood stomped a switch bio 9 japan, but didn’t hold the grab so long. Hopefully she’s alright. Tess Ledeux stomped a huge dub 12 mute but the landing was a little too deep to be clean. 65.25 seemed very harsh though. Mathilde easily stomped a switch dub 10 and essentially took the win with a round to go....

Level 1 Wasteland Review. Sort of.

Level 1 movies are back! Maybe, sort of? Regardless, Level 1 has certainly been sorely missed in the past few years. Freeskiing has lacked a proper, aspirational full-length project each year since they left. Kudos to whoever had to sit in the editing booth and style that one out. He ends things with two switch two-sev bangers that show hes done his research. His part rolls into Oscar & Harald, also mostly Finland street shots....

In-Depth Review: 1000 Skis All-Mountain

But now, we have a full range of park to pow skis and a full size run too. This ski is super unique and was a blast to get to know and love! This is somewhat similar to the AM ski. It is almost the opposite of and ON3P - a very stiff but very rockered ski. These two approaches create playfulness from one area while creating stability in the other....
