Earlier this month I got invited to spend a few days with the Atomic team in Utah to test out some of their new offerings, for the coming 24/25 season. I’ve been on a few ski trips over the years but none quite like this one. We had athletes Chris Benchetler, Chris...

This story began with a classic buy/sell/trade post - I was selling a pair of Armada Al Dente 2014 skis. Few days later I got a message from someone local here in Montreal looking to purchase them right away. We began to chat and I quickly realized this guy knew what he was looking for. Being a...
Earlier this week you may have seen a picture of the Blackcomb Glacier missing one of its most fundamental features - the Horstman T-bar. This T-bar was not just a lift but a vehicle that drove the progression of freestyle skiing in ways that are unquantifiable. Home to some of the greatest...

Pretty much all of us had missed the best time to shred of the season. Sunny laps, warm temps, slush every day, BBQs, beers... all only wet dreams for Italy's park rats when the ski-resorts shut down in early March because of COVID 19.
So what...
During these slower times we reached out to some of Newschoolers' alumni to tell us a bit about their golf game. Hate it or love it, golf is a champions' sport that many of us enjoy playing during the off season.

The first time I saw Koga shred was about three years ago out in Whistler BC. I was riding Catskinner on a beautiful sunny day, and out nowhere saw this dude in all black with super loud style hauling ass under the chair. At first, I thought it was another classic Carney top to bottom lap, no...

'Catching Up With' is a new series, which aims to highlight past and present members of the ski community, who are doing things differently, be it within or beyond the ski industry.
In this first installment, we check in with a good friend of ours...
The skies may have been grey over Whistler, but that did not stop 15 heavy hitting skiers from getting rowdy in Whistler's skier's plaza. This year's prize money was nothing to joke about with the top spot taking home 20 000$, 2nd place taking home 10 000$ and 3rd place 5 000$.
On the men's...

Modified pipe was definitely the most unique element of this year's Dew Tour and it showed a ton of potential to build on in the future. As a new event, it was clearly taking some getting used to from a rider perspective, meaning a decent number of bobbles and...

Skiing is insane right now. There were some wind issues at Breck today, but even with that added difficulty, the level of riding was ridiculous. Splitting the jumps and rails clearly gave the riders more time to focus on each and the result was one of...

As is becoming traditional, the first World Cup of the season went down in Stubai, Austria today. The most important thing to go down today was the debut of a new judging format. Runs were judged ‘section-by-section’ echoing the...
A bit late but better than never.
MAAD camp is the result of Maude Raymond’s vision to create an environment where girls can shred together, progress together and above all have fun together. She put a lot of hard work into acquiring sponsors, recruiting the right coaches and making it all a...

With two more days remaining, the weatherman had finally agreed to deliver the goods. Better late than never. A huge low-pressure system was slamming into...

Two days in, and with some shots in the bag despite a continuing lack of cooperation from the weather-man and the crew is feeling pretty stoked. We...

For any skier with an appetite for adventure, and an appreciation for the untamed, a trip to La Grave, France and the surrounding area ought to be high on...
I went to see this movie twice at the same theatre in the span of two weeks and I have no regrets. The first premiere was loooose to say the least. Sold out, huge line-up outside of the door complete with lots of cheers and yelling inside - the way a ski premiere should be.
This showing was on...
Whats up everyone, this might hit closer with the M&A crowd but basically I've compiled a list of what i think were the most popular video cameras used by the average NS'er over the past few years. Now i know some of you probably used other models but i think its safe to say each of these were a...
