Big ups to @dogfacematt for the help with cutting clips during the event.
Music, food, and football are what come to mind when I hear Atlanta, not a skiing big air. As @memecork put it so well, it's as if FIS had a map of the US, threw a dart at it and decided...
In classic Colorado fashion, the first competition of the year was during a massive fucking blizzard which made for slow speeds and small airs. The men & women did what they could by using all the wax in the tri-county area to get as much speed as possible but alas, it's never going to make up...
In what Gus is calling his last hurrah in the Olympic arena, he will be representing his birth nation of Great Britain at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Talking with NBC Sports, Gus cited honoring his British mother as his main reason but also, a "path of less resistance" towards the goal of...

1. Faction Skis x Pit Viper Monoski
Yes, Faction made a monoski. No, they didn't teleport to the 80s to retrieve it. Will you be able to stomp dub backies on it like SuperUnknown winner Blake Wilson? Probably not. That doesn't mean this Hotline Miami looking ski is a bad idea to add to the...
Ski graphics have changed a lot over the years. From straight up pine planks sealed up with lacquer to killer clowns, camo, kittens, and everything in between. Some brands seemed to have regressed over the years while others have continued to crank out impressive eye candy season after season...

I wrangled the rowdy Strictly crew to chat again about their next movie offer, ‘welcome’. Last time we chatted they were fresh off winning Am. Movie of the Year & Best Cinematography at iF3 and were getting prepped for their inaugural film premiere. Based on the trailer, ‘welcome’ looks to be a...

There are many things that can make a great skier ascend to the upper echelon of ski royalty to join the likes of Shane McConkey, Candide Thovex, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Tom Wallisch and others who more often than not let their skiing take them to these hallowed heights. For some, like Jon...

A "Masters" division would be an incredible addition to the comp scene.
The Armada crew has descended upon Klappen for a private session in the Kimbosessions park. Tanner Hall, Sammy Carlson, Quinn Wolferman, Henrik, and plenty more of the team are there right now stacking clips for another incredible team edit.
While there isn't a whole lot of content out quite...
The final full day of Kimbosessions is underway as I type these words. Tomorrow, the finest skiers on the planet will go their separate ways, not to gather in such numbers until next year. Each year, Kim manages to tweak and grow the event, and there is no question to those gathered here, this...
