I couldn't agree more. Also, I think Sage should easily be in 4th ahead of Greener. Live scoring has got to be tough for the judges. Today should be fun to watch.

here is some more footage of gunnar. anyone that wants to help him win march radness should give him a vote contour.com/stories/welcome-to-the-gun-show

holymoley the freeride tour guys got their butts kicked today. i thought they were suppose to be the best skiers in the world? only got to see a few runs. could they not handle the pressure or were...

I decided not to compete this year TBoz. I gave up my spot a few weeks back since i've only skied maybe 7 days this year. Presidents was my first day out since January 1st. Although the last 2...

i fully agree that ski movies need to catch up. there is obviously more money in the snowboarding industry right now. tgr and msp need to get some bigger sponsors and who really cares about warren...

who won the golf match?

squaw needs to get rid of both far east and red dog and build a high speed chair that goes from the bottom of far east to the top of red dog. Im not a big fan on a powder day of either taking far...

What are rockered skis?

the skierX course looks pretty sweet. the wall of death at 1:20 looks a little gnarly though.

livin the dream! cool to see that being a para doesn't limit you from becoming a professional skier

just to put in perspective how insane of a skier Ducroz really is.. this was his winning run from 09 verbier that i am sure most people remember. apparently he likes the high exposure lines
...

damn that was smooth.. he went into the second to last air with a lot of speed above some gnarly exposure. frenchies sure know how to ski.

I would have to disagree that this would create more grip for a ski. I could see that principle working on a snowboard as shown in rideits diagram where each foot is towards the center point of each...

Caltrans does a really good job of keeping their road conditions updated. They only close emerald bay when conditions are bad and there is avy danger or clean up. Should be open if it doesn't snow.

Cool video. Definitely opens up the door to some fun ski touring adventures.

Kevin should play mini-golf with this guy

How much do you charge as a ski tech/coach TBoz? or should I say what percentage of my winnings would you take? I was thinking that something wider than a super G ski would be a little more stable...

Nice! So I am assuming when they have up to 125 qualifying runs on Saturday that it is individual and then sunday are heats of 4?

Any of you gapers competing in the Rahlves Banzai this weekend at Alpine? I haven't heard much about it and the website doesn't give many details as to the event time, # of people in a heat, etc.
...

I am pretty sure I know the difference between what is open and closed. The box was closed that day. I made two turns in main chute and aired fall line off the center rock that divides main and the...

HAHAHAHAHA! you should have worn your helmet cam to the meeting

I fully agree that having one in the reno-tahoe area would be sick. It seems like there is definitely the talent, money, and probably interest in the area to get one started . For now there is just...

Thanks for making a quality movie. The movie was fucking hilarious. I really wanted to atleast interview to be in the movie, but then realized a couple weeks before the applications were due that...

sick photos! might have to check that out this weekend

i could see this being used for popping off the nose or tail when hitting any type of park jump or cliff

The “first descent” down the tram face looks pretty lame. It is one thing to rappel into a chute that is not skiable from the top. When you sideslip on belay all the way down to a chute that is...

Sorry to hear about your loss T-Boz. NaPali was definitely a pretty cool dog. Hope you and Crystal are doing well otherwise

Pretty epic day at squaw for reporting 1-2" when i left reno. Showed up at 10:30 and gapped the shit out of the middle knuckle in flat light and ice. KT, Silverado, C2 and Broken arrow were all...

anybody see this shit go down? mike wilson doing a double back off of engerbretsons. http://www.twitvid.com/KSAWX

also a guy named dax whose parents own the SV sports shop who also works there i believe. can't be too many daxs at SV

Mike Wilson definitely has some balls as a professional rope swinger. What ever happened to Mike Wilson the freestyle skier? I feel like I haven't seen him in any recent ski movies. This rope swing...

crazy stuff.. I kind of miss the days of $1900 passes and rude customer services that kept all of the gapers away. Hopefully Squaw doesn't turn into another Northstar with all of these changes.

I definitely think this is a positive thing for the sport. It can get a little old watching people straight air the same cliffs over again. Don't get me wrong though, when you get a skier like Ian...

the company I work for in Tahoe City designed the civil layout for the Transit Center http://www.trpa.org/transportation/08%20TIP%208.pdf in 64 acres that is currently being constructed. One of the...

This isn't skiing related but it looks like Halvor has some pretty sick talent in a wingsuit also..

ioBw_n6TY0A

damn.. that looks like some decent early season coverage.

Not sure about the Taos entry. I know for kirkwood the registration is on dec. 6 http://freeskiingworldtour.com/article.php?id=200 through the Subaru FWT. They are joining forces with the freeride...

Those are some pricey tickets. Do you know if the movie is going to be outside like last year? Watching movies inside Fifty Fifty on the mini screen sucks.

Thats good news Tboz. It doesn't get good until after christmas anyways. I am definitely up for early morning shred sessions this year. I've been waking up at 5 to lift so it should be pretty easy...

Tboz you are becoming very wise in your old age. Let me give you the formula I use.. be able to squat twice your weight for 3 sets of 10 reps and you will be able to stomp almost anything. I once...

Nice powdork! I haven't seen that before. I like all the close up pics of each cliff. The videos you post are always much appreciated too.

I think most of the advice already listed is a good start. A few more things that I have done is take a picture of the venue a few days before it starts. Then I circle all the drops that are within...

Sick!! This is what i have been waiting to hear. Kirkwood is going to go off this year. I can't wait to show up to Kirkwood prepared this year and show up the freeride tour athletes:smile:

there is some pretty useful info on the USSA website that you should check out. http://www.ussa.org/magnoliaPublic/ussa/en/formembers/sportscience/physiology.html It gives you a general...

freerideworldtour.com is still listing their events with Kirkwood as a stop showing the ski as Feb 26

http://www.freerideworldtour.com/en/the_tour/program/programme-FWT_27-1570

Looks like MSI just posted the dates for the freeskiing world tour at kirkwood as being 2/23-27. So if the finals on are 2/26 with 2/27 as a weather day and the freeride tour starts on 2/26,...

So do you think this means that the freeskiing world tour isn't going to have a stop there this year? The freeride world tour is obviously a lot different and harder to enter or qualify for. ...

These are great for straightlining ice and way more fun than snowlerblades. I tried these during highschool ski club in upstate ny when sled dogs were having a demo at my home mountain. The place...

check out porterstahoe.com if you are looking for a new copy. i've seen it on there before.

If you want to do this rope swing and live in northern cali I can put you in contact with the guy filming who set it up. I did a bungee jump off this bridge and a pretty sweet rope swing in yosemite...
