I’m constantly amazed by Red Bull’s ability to embrace action sports and really establish themselves as a brand that pushes the limits. Recently, I caught a quick excerpt from some ski movie, I’m not sure which one, that showed a race that combines skiing and sky-diving, apparently called “Ground Launching”. I’m not sure [...]
Legendary skier Doug Coombs takes a few minutes to show us his quick and painless ski tune, known as “The Q & P”. This is guaranteed to improve your skis, but not necessarily your skiing…
Today we’re going to have a little break from the doom and gloom avalanche talk and focus for a minute on how friggin’ cool they look when being taunted by experienced big mountain riders. And the king of triggering avalanches has got to be Jeremy Jones. He triggers avalanches more often than I deposit unemployment checks.
There’s a lot to know about snow and avalanche conditions to truly be safe in the backcountry. This video made by the resident avalanche experts at Bridger Bowl of Bozeman, Montana gives us a really great overview on how to read your landscape and stay safe while looking for that knee-deep good stuff.
I don’t know if this trick is actually difficult to pull off…but it sure is suprising the first time you watch it.
A cliff band just to the skier’s left of the KT-22 Express lift at Squaw is lovingly referred to as The Fingers. On powder days, as the line up the KT lift gets backed up, those lucky few who managed to get on at the front have the pleasure of racing down to hit [...]
Here’s a great video of a group hiking to “earn their turns” in the Eastern Sierras. Love the fact that these guys camped out in the middle of the road overnight. The snow doesn’t look great but hey, who’s complaining when you can get out early or late in the season to a [...]
Big ups to the guys over at Matchstick Productions for some mainstream love from the biggest morning show out there for their new ski flick, “Claim”. Quick disclaimer…the only reason I saw this is because I’m unemployed right now and my girlfriend, who was working from home this morning, doesn’t like political news early [...]
I recently met a guy from Montana who I instantly bonded with. The moment he mentioned where he was from, I had to ask if he was a skier. What can I say…I’m already missing the snow and I’ll jump at any opportunity to reminisce about it. Long story short, somehow we [...]
I just stumbled across this classic Warren Miller footage, using old-school Austrian backcountry precautionary techniques. Maybe it’s just me but skiing with a helium balloon tied around my waist sounds less than appealing. But anything for safety, right? Plus, the Hitchcock-esque soundtrack is a nice touch…
