This winter saw Keegan Killbride, Cam Willis, and the rest of the Slim to None crew treading a different path. There were plenty of ski crews hitting the streets and backcountry across the US, despite the restrictions of the pandemic. But they were the only squad doing it and releasing content...
It’s been a couple of years since Windells Camp has been graced by a Newschoolers session, but last week saw the comeback and it was hittin'. Windells veteran Parker White enlisted the monsters Duncan Adams and Jake Mageau to join him as the Newschoolers crew and descended upon the dusty slopes...

Newschoolers and @Windells are a classic combination. You don't have to wind the clock back far to reach a time when there was a Newschoolers week at the camp on Mt. Hood every summer. @Mr.Bishop was 'On The Road' back then, causing mayhem and toeing the...

The first ever Scandinavian Team Battle went down this weekend and it’s safe to say that it absolutely went off! The newly built CopenHill Urban Mountain in Copenhagen, Denmark played host to some of the world's greatest skiers, in what was the first major international...

Skilluminati is a crew of skiers straight out of Latvia of all places. You might have come across their second ski movie, “SKLMNTI” or seen their photos pop up on Newschoolers from time to time. But you wouldn't...
Like it or lump it, Olympic years are big years in the competition game, and the US team is always among the most stacked. So making this list is a big step on the road to Beijing for some of skiing's biggest name athletes. A total of 27 pro-level and 15 rookie freeskiers have been nominated to...

Joyous in its own right, tucking into the downhill on a pair of pointy sticks or a surfy slab of plastic and wood is only one awesome action that the mountains offer us. What gives these simple movements a deeper meaning are all of the moments, discoveries, and personal...
Judging SuperUnknown gets harder and harder each year. There are so many up-and-coming rippers who can do insane dubs, trips, and super technical rail tricks that it makes it incredibly hard to separate them from each other. I happen to be one of the judges and I know that when I watch the edits...
Thank you to all of you who submitted your entries for King and Queen of Banff Sunshine. We had some amazing shots at both crowns and judging was really tough. Rylee Hackler (@rhacks), Theo Vivian (@Sno-Void), and Brayden Tritter (@TOADER) all came close to taking home the crown. Rylee's cork 7...

The final World Cup of the season went down in Silvaplana, Switzerland this morning. A delayed start to proceedings due to weather set the tone for the opening runs, with conditions still less than idea. The two run final and seemingly faster drop times did make the comp a more engaging to watch...
Sunday saw the first Olympic halfpipe qualifier for the US team go down in the Buttermilk Pipe, as part of the Land Rover Grand Prix weekend. The weather was less than optimal at the beginning of the event. Falling snow made visibility questionable, speed hard to find, and increased the risk of...
Comp skiing returned to Aspen for the second weekend running with a rare World Cup. It doubles as the first Olympic qualifier for the US Team, which makes the comparative results of US skiers doubly relevant. The weather was certainly better than it was for World Champs but still fairly windy at...
The final event of the FIS World Championships, Big Air, went down in Aspen this morning. The light was pretty flat, which made for not very welcoming-looking conditions but didn't seem to hinder the riders' motivation. Colby S was crushing it in the commentary booth too, it was cool to have a...

The second in our King Of The Park contest series for 2021, and our very first Queen Of The Park contest, will be going down at Sunshine Village over the next couple of weeks. Sunshine is one of Newschoolers' favorite resorts. A place to...
Saturday morning saw the World Championships Slopestyle go down in Aspen, CO. There was some serious wind on course, which got worse through the event and mad and even getting enough speed hard, let alone judging it. The setup, with 3 jumps and 3 banks of rails was unremarkable and meant riders...
Love 'em or hate 'em, it's been a crazy year for comps. Somehow, FIS have figured out a way to have the World Championships go ahead, having had to cancel them in China, move them to Canada and then finally, pull off a last minute event in Aspen. Luckily, Aspen is used to hosting the world's...
