Wet and Wild Summer Skiing on the Matterhorn

Jul 03, 2019 By: Zack Skovron

Slashing hot slush is one of the great joys of late-season skiing. It's soft, forgiving, and ridiculously fun to shred. Will Wesson, Lauri Kivari, Sämi Ortlieb, and Fabian Bösch are clearly fans of slushy skiing, and don't mind getting a little wet along the way. While shooting for Line's Zermatt Glacier Days, they decided check out the streams cascading down the glacier—a soggy endeavor, to say the least.

Whereas most people choose to ski around the streams, or even jump over them, the Line crew opted to ski in them, and laced up some seriously flowy lines.

This should be music to the ears of all the New Englanders out there. NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski is joining the Pit Viper Experts Only Pro Team. Even TGR co-founder Todd Jones is stoked about it, saying, “As New Englanders, we watched Gronk help us win multiple Super Bowls. It's good to see him out west getting loose with the Pit Viper crew. Hopefully, next time he will come to Jackson and let us show him around the home lab.” From Pit Viper: Over a weekend in March, the Gronkowski family

Leave it to the French to be dramatic about this kind of stuff… No really, Hugo Manhes’s project “Un Skier en Feu” (A Skier on Fire) is a stark and important visualization of climate change and its impact on how we play in the mountains. Sure, statistics like the fact that the snowpack on France’s Porte Pass has decreased by 40 percent in three decades, the average winter temperature increasing by a full degree, and many more might get the attention of some, but at this point maybe we do need

Ouch. It’s one thing to be skiing and riding as aggressively as the athletes on the Freeride World Tour, and it’s an entirely different thing to be crashing as hard as they (sometimes) do. Competing at the highest level leaves very little margin for error, and that’s pretty clear if you watch some of the bails from the 2021 Tour. There’s everything from 60-0 in a matter of inches (shoutout Aymar Navarro and that snowbank) to folks going SPLAT off gigantic airs (shoutout everyone else). Hope
