French ski instructor, backcountry extraordinaire, and heli skiing guide Nicolas Gaide, 43, sadly passed away after a horrendous accident while attempting to ski Mont Miravidi on the Italian-French border. The father-of-one had been a guide in the Alps for over 25 years when he passed away.
Gaide and other instructors, guides, and mountain professionals were attending a safety training atop the 3,000m (9,842 ft) peak when the incident occurred. Gaide quickly realized that a bag was missing and rushed back to the helicopter which unknowingly took off with the instructor caught in the cargo netting. Unable to make contact with the pilot or hold on to the netting, Gaide tragically fell hundreds of feet to his death on the French side of the mountain where his body was later recovered. He was well-known for his geniality on and off the mountain, consistent smile, and positive attitude.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Nicolas Gaide, another avid mountain professional gone too soon. We hope you all stay safe out there.

2020 is all about equality for the Freeride World Tour. FWT Photo. This month, when the Freeride World Tour athletes drop from the Hakuba start gate, they’ll all be competing for the same cash prize—male or female. The Freeride World Tour is setting a new standard at the dawn of a new decade: equal pay regardless of gender. It’s a progressive step forward for female freeriding, and the FWT hopes it will elevate the next generation of freeriders. On top of gender parity in pay, the FWT has

There's this great sticker you can buy for your water bottle, it says "be nice, say hi!" It's a great reminder to be a kind human, especially when it's so easy to get wrapped up in our own heads, put headphones in, and ignore the people around us. But don't take it from me, take it from this little shredder who can't help but say hello to everyone on the cat track. Does he let the fact that he's wearing a dog leash and can't run free on the mountain bring him down? NO! He's going to spread
