The Jason Arens Interview

The Tahoe native tells us how most ski judges still ride the courses themselves. I know Ive never spoken to such an interesting judge… Its really an expensive and trying process. By the time he was 23, he was completely over competing. Its a pretty easy transition. Its cool when athletes can go from competitive skiing, directly into judging. He started judging in 2011/12. Were a vessel for their purpose....

In-Depth Review: 2023 Armada EDollo

The Tom Wallisch Interview

The King of Afterbang has just kept on innovating in the 12 years since that game-changing video. The Pretzel man was born and raised in Pittsburgh, hardly a ski town. Its really just a hill, not really a mountain. Theyve now got a great park scene, but it was always at least somewhere for me to ski. I saw skateboarders, snowboarders and other sports doing railslides. If I slide down this hill I wonder if I can do a railslide?...

FIS Slopestyle World Cup Stubai& Recap

Cover Photo: Jesper frontflips off. The most important thing to go down today was the debut of a new judging format. Runs were judged section-by-section echoing the system used in snowboarding for some years now, and on overall impression. Each skier gets a trick score that then forms part of their overall score.

Not that much has changed since the old EDollo, but I prefer the slightly softer tail. It gives the ski a more balanced feel despite having rockered tips and cambered tails. They are at their heart, a soft, buttery ski....
