Happy valentine's Day everyone. Hopefully you've got someone on this fine February 14th. If you don't have someone, I hope you have good snow. If you don't have good snow well... I'm sorry... but at least you've got rewind to catch you up on all the cool ski-related...

What your skis say about you
Alright, before we get into this, I have a disclaimer. This is not going to cover every group of skiers, and some of the things said here might make some of you feel…attacked. But that’s the point. Even with so many options for skis, most skiers and what they ski...
Doing a lot with very little
Let's be honest with ourselves here. The midwest doesn't have a whole lot to offer besides 300 ft hills and mud. We don't get blower pow or thousands of feet of vert. We get rails and rad parks.
I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with Matt Dunn, the Park...

Recently, after clips of the Fagan twins Deven and Kiernan using racial slurs surfaced, two of their largest sponsors, MDV and Douchebags, made the decision to drop them from their teams. U.S. Ski and Snowboard has now followed suit, indefinitely suspending the two brothers from the team...
Effects of skiing
A resorts goal is to change the environment of an area to better favor the skiers and snowboarders that frequent them. This involves a myriad of different methods to better equip the terrain for our planks. From run clearing to construction as well as blowing snow most of...
Skiing Ruins Skiing
Let me explain. Every year thousands of people buy new gear, fly or drive thousands of miles, stay in hotels and eat overpriced resort food. By doing the very thing we love we are having a detrimental effect on the future of the sport. As the climate continues to change as...
Welcome to the land of short seasons and small hills. Whether you're a park rat looking for some fun parks, or in search of new terrain to try out and can't make the trip out west - these hills are all pretty killer. Hopefully, this list will help you with your trip planning for next season, or...
