Many of you are already probably aware of this, but last year the list of skier-only resorts in the US shrunk by just a little bit. After 52 years of operation, Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico finally opened its lifts to snowboarders in March of 2008. The decision, partly inspired by decreasing [...]
What’s going on in Canada? Our neighbors to the north have given us yet another band who likes to play with toys…known simply (and quite terribly) as Holy Fuck. This time, not only are we greeted with toy keyboards as with their fellow countrymen, Sunset Rubdown, but also a cacophany of toy phaser guns and [...]
Well, I can hear the heavy pitter-patter of rain drops outside my window once again which means people at higher elevations are having alot more fun than me. The Sierras have been getting crushed over the past 24-48 hours with over two feet of snow in most places. And it should continue coming [...]
“Ski school’s not about learning how to ski!”
Dave Marshak didn’t quite know how right he was when he uttered those few words. This movie is #3 on our countdown for one reason and one reason alone…it’s fucking hilarious. It has no discernible stars to speak of (except for a few guys you’ll also [...]
Ahhh, it’s so nice to have Aesop Rock back. His first two label releases, Float (2000) and Labor Days (2001), sent signals of a massive underground talent to be reckoned with. His beats are strange, dark and beautiful, and he has such a unique cadence to his rhyming that’s hard to compare to [...]
I really want to know who at Trysil we can thank for bringing us these awesome FREE online games to waste our time with. Normally I’d be stuck navigating some spec of a stick figure with lines for skis to navigate a series of dots and triangles…er, rocks and trees. Now, thanks to [...]
Imagine having a little computer on your wrist that acts as an altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass…and yes, even a watch. And when I say “computer” I mean exactly that. Not only does the Suunto Core measure changes in barometric pressure and altitude, it stores up to 7 days worth of data that is [...]
I wish it were this easy. At some point I’ll be able to get past the fact that I’m actually facing backwards in mid-air. Last time I tried one I freaked about half-way in and landed backwards…without twin tips. Thank God for helmets.
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 [...]
So it’s finally snowed up in Tahoe and I bet you’re ready to throw the skis on top of the car and race up I-80 aren’t you? But if you don’t have 4-wheel drive, you best be remembering to put those chains back in the trunk, because if you don’t, you’re going to be paying $60-$80 more than you should
