The Weakend: Candide, Hatveit, Hornbeck, Hackel

For me, the story of the past week is comebacks.

Judging by the website, Skibyen is open to the public and Andreas might even coach you.Dream trip much?

I’d argue Wrecka is the OG responsible for the direction of much of skiing today.

Do you think we’d have The Bunch or even BE Inspired without Hornbeck?

I don’t think so.

That straight air ender is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen for some time.

Long live the king!

The big behind the scenes story of the week was X Games Real Ski judging.

In the meantime, Quebec’s Snow Jamboree is running a similar street contestin the form of O’Neill Stairsmaster.

Emile Bergeron’s is my personal favorite but all five are pretty nuts, well worth a watch.

I expect Lev Tanju is somewhat culpable.

But Alex Hackel is damn good at skiing.

He has it all: style, ridiculously technical tricks, he even has the swerve down.

His summer offering is a banger and it bagged him the highest rated video of the week on NS.

The following edit is carnage, it’s mind boggling to me everyone survived with their knees intact.

You’ve probably seen it but it’s well worth another watch.

And last, but not least (again), there’s Candide.
