First off, thank you to all of you who entered King Of The Park at Killington this year and those who cast their votes too. We had a bunch of great entries and it was tough work for our judges to make the final call. There were loads of votes, with Chris Bechtold (@C_Bechtold ) and Jessy...

Things are, of course, a little...
It's been a strange year for everyone, but perhaps a particularly strange one for skiers. Between closed resorts, reservation systems, and the cancellation of the majority of events, this has not felt at all like a normal winter. That is particularly true for those who like to push themselves...

By now, most of you will know of Parkin Costain. It took a while, but the ski industry has caught on. 2020 certainly wasn’t everyone’s year, but Costain took the title of King of Corbet’s, landed a segment in TGR’s latest film ‘Make Believe’...

In an interview aired on Estonian TV on Wednesday night, Kelly stated that she has been the victim of long-term domestic abuse by her father and coach Tonis Sildaru.
Tõnis Sildaru is currently the subject of a criminal...
As the inventor of the avalanche airbag, ABS revolutionized winter sports in 1985.
35 years later ABS presents a completely new portfolio and introduces its entire brand identity redesigned.
"Enjoy your wild" - the new motto of ABS, describes a feeling to which they want to inspire and which...
Over the years, style has been argued every way till Sunday. "Who has the best style with/without poles?", "Who does the best cork 7 blunts?", "Who has the best ____?"... If you search the forums, there are hundreds of threads that will argue the case for different skiers during every era of...
You may have first seen a pair of Wells Lamont gloves in your dad’s garage growing up. But unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know they are making significant waves in the ski community under the direction of Newschoolers OG @W_berman . The people at Wells Lamont have given him the...
Note: Unfortunately, I had some technical difficulties and wasn't able to start snagging clips until the 3rd run. I will link the X Games recap when they post it for those who didn't tune in.
What was arguably last year's hottest ski event, Knuckle Huck, has returned for the 2nd year and it had...
It has certainly gone by fast, but today is the final day of X Games. Super Sunday kicked off with Men's slopestyle, perhaps the most eagerly awaited event of the whole show. The men pulled the winning number out the bag this weekend when it came to start times and conditions. Today's slopestyle...
The weather in Aspen is not great this weekend but thankfully the lights made for far better visibility than the daytime events and the guys went full sicko mode as a result. Big Air has certainly reached the point of ridiculous but it's sort of unashamedly so, which makes it all the more fun to...
After an insane Big Air contest yesterday afternoon and the first gold of what is sure to be many for Eileen Gu in the halfpipe last night, Saturday saw the women switch to slopestyle mode. Only 5 of the ladies made it to the start gate after injuries to Kelly Sildaru and Giulia Tanno among...
The first men's ski event of the 2021 Aspen X Games has Alex Ferriera trying to defend his gold medal from last winter and fend off 4x gold medalist David Wise. Nico Porteous landed the first dub 16 in a pipe competition, both ways AND back-to-back. David Wise looked like he just crawled out of...
Many competitions have faced cancellation in this tumultuous year, but X Games returned to our screens today despite the travel restrictions and difficulties presented by the pandemic. It's taken a lot of effort on the part of the organizers and athletes to get us here (as well as copious...
After rumors that X Games wouldn't be happening this year due to restrictions, the show will go on in Aspen sans spectators from January 29-31. While we're glad X Games will still happen this year it certainly will be odd with no crowd in attendance. Who will Henrik bark at when he comes...
The Tell A Friend Tour is back! One of the longest-running tours in skiing, and certainly the most cheese heavy, has somehow found a way to go ahead this season! Despite the very challenging times in which we are living, Andy and some of his super-pro skier friends are heading out for a 9th year...
To some degree, we all have a love/hate relationship with social media, Newschoolers more than most. But there's no questioning its importance to the ski industry right now. Never has that been more apparent than 2020, when most of us have spent at least some of the year stuck at home, endlessly...
