Gotta love these super short, super burly clips. Click through to watch Hoji killing a no-fall face and a super tight couloir in Austria.
Geeking Out: Ski Shapes
With SIA behind us and spring approaching, next years skis are likely already being pressed. With how rapidly technology has changed over the past few years, we thought we’d don our nerd glasses, put on a white short sleeved button up shirt and GEEK OUT!
Joel & Friends Getting After It (as usual)
Gotta give Joel a lot of credit here. He’s been killing it this year with monthly videos that make us want to quit our jobs and join him. Here’s his latest installment from February in Colorado:
Whistler Pillow POV
Unofficial brings us one of the best pillow POVs we’ve seen all year. If you played Mario as a kid and are a skier, you’ll most likely dig this! (and hum Mario sound effects as you watch this)
Daily Brew Mar 4
Jess McMillan>Fat Bastard
Jess McMillan is mostly known for dominating a freeskiing events and as far as we know she competes more than shoots film. We’d love to see her keep competing, but we aren’t complaining if she skips more events and puts out quality video like this.
More from the PNW
The PNW has been getting hit HARD lately. Take a look at a couple videos for confirmation. Video one is non POV featuring Andy Mahr and Jeff Harrison by Max White and video two is a POV from Alpental from Bjorn Ballien.
Freeride World Tour: Sochi Preview
The Freeride World Tour goes to Russia this week. Word is, they have pushed the event forward due to weather! Strange, but apparently the weather window out there is small! In any case, to prep you for the event we’ve compiled a few videos from year’s past. Past winners of this event include Jackson’s Jess McMillan, France’s Julian Lopez and we aren’t 100% but pretty positive Tabke has done well there too. Best of luck to all!!
Junior Freeskiing National: Crystal Preview
Here is a video from the Junior comp at Crystal last season. The young whippersnappers are killing it!!! We are looking forward to a good show from you guys this weekend! Have fun, stay safe…
Daily Brew Mar 3
In today’s brew we have a few “choice” TGR threads including pictures of the new Salomon AT binding, more pow skiing footage, and a look at the Hot Possie (not spelled wrong). Enjoy!
Checking in from the PNW
FIS just put this short video from Baker up and it’s looking pretty damn good there right now.
Dick’s Ditch Event Preview
Like to go fast and see what happens? If so, and you are around Jackson this weekend, check out the Dick’s Ditch banked slalom event. You don’t need to be a pro and you don’t need race skis. Just run what ya brung and go have some fun! In prepration for the event we’ve compiled a few videos for your viewing pleasure…oh, and registration is still open!
Ryan Hawks Video
With the untimely passing of one of the top up-and-coming freeskiers, we thought it would be an appropriate tribute to feature this video of Ryan Hawks and friends shredding his home mountain of Mad River Glen. Although it is hard to find comfort in a time like this, watching Ryan in this video certainly does somehow help you realize how much passion, energy and skill he had. We know its been said a thousand times before but you’ll be missed Ryan!
Gelande. Quaff. Today.
The Gelande Quaffing Championships (aka the highlight of Powder Week) are starting today at 4:20 in front of the VC in the Village. If you’re (like most people) wondering what the hell a Gelande Quaff is and what kind of antibiotics you need to treat it – check out this video from last years event.
