As we all know Europe was the place to be this season besides Alaska. Some of the DPS team got together and headed over to Engelberg to ‘crush’ a photo shoot. Looks like Oskar Enander showed them the goods!

Edit of the Day | First Season JH Fun
You know the story: a group of dudes (always dudes) move to a ski town and are out everyday, ticking off classic lines left and right. Looks like this crew got in plenty of fun lines and lots of pow in a season that just ended (at the resort, that is) yesterday with almost 100 inches less than average snowfall. Take a look at their fun season and “artsy” vid…

Swatch Skiers Cup | Summer 2012 Teaser
It’s pretty crazy that it’s time to start thinking about the Southern Hemisphere winter, but our friends down south aren’t far off from their turn for snow. The 2nd annual Swatch Skiers Cup returns to Valle Nevado, Chile this September, pitting “Team America” against “Team Europe” (and apparently Europe includes New Zealand). Team Europe will be defending their title after a 14-10 win last time around. The competition consists of a Big Mountain event and a Backcountry Slopestyle event.

Griffin Post | Valdez with TGR
Griff schools us on how it’s done in Valdez in this GoPro TGR Athlete Video series. This is not your typical edit as Griffin actually runs us through how he inspects lines in AK and talks about slough management and hazards like bergschrunds. This may come in handy if you’re lucky enough to actually get to ski some stuff like this soon. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy some dreamy looking AK terrain…
