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...

Words by @MarkusEder . Photos by @stefan_mahl . 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...

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...

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...

Cover: Fabian Boesch shot by Jamie Walter 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...
