Sometimes the lap to the car is best. The cat track with rando sidehits. The actual parking lot laps at some places swvering between the cars.
But please for the love of god please 2 skip the last. It's not your last run until you're done done, and even then watch out for any staircases or...
Sometimes writing is pretty random. It's trying to convey a feeling, a turn, a trick, an evening into words. Sometimes words can capture people, sometimes they're left lost wondering what the intent was, what was he going with this.
I'll lay right into it. I think in words quite a bit, I see...
Sometimes we look at the success of others in skiing or life and think "I could do that" or "I would be that good if I had the same opportunity". There's a lot of different factors that feed into getting good at anything. Natural ability, drive to practice, where you live, the people you meet...

Everyone loves a good pow day. Whether it's that huge dumps at a big resort, or 10 inches at a smaller east coast hill. There's a sort of magic that comes with every flake of fresh snow. It's why we sit staring out the window at school or work as the flakes start to come down, why we spent time...
Music and skiing have been intertwined going back to everything from early movies to apres.
The mountains bring us in contact with some weird and amazing people. We ski together, talk about lines or life over a few beers, and live it up. Skiing and the lifestyle doesn't make sense to some people but in our community we get each other. We can be strange, eccentric, probably one track...

In a time where skiing seems increasingly less accessible, it's awesome to see some of the big mountains coming through. To be able to hike real quality park features for free it's the kind of thing you really love to see. All you need to do is grab a ticket(free) and sign...
The ski industry has a long standing relationship with foreign workers. Both with people traveling winter to winter season, specific skilled labor, and bringing in bodies to fill certain roles. As we head into the ski season, this topic is more relevant than ever. With strict travel regulations...
Sometimes there's a moment, a turn, a picture, or a thought that reminds you of the good old days and your crew. Was there's anything that special, that magical? Or was it just a pivital time in your life.
Both are true to an extent. Growing up, and the people you grow up with have a massive...
We were all noobs once, but we all learned at some point along the way.
Terrain parks and skateparks are for all ability levels. Being a dick isn't cool, but teaching people proper etiquette is as important as ever.
We've gotten nicer in these sports and that's not a bad thing. We should be...
We've all seen the articles posted by people angry about others drinking and skiing. Are they against drinking, drinking and skiing, or do they feel like they don't fit in and lash out?
I read an article today from Outside that fits more into the latter. A person being overly dramatic and mad...
Skiing dumb sport we live.
What is it about sliding aroung on snow that makes us feel so good.
