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…

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.

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…
