Many of us have great respect and love for the mountains, hills, snowflex, indoor domes and anything inside or out that can be slid on. A few, like Lucas Wachs, spend their winters in the great giants of the Pacific Northwest, with Lucas Wachs being a native to Mount Bachelor and Bend, Oregon...
"Lupe is part of a new generation of skiers that will have to make the freeski world pay attention. I do not see him doing that by winning the X-Games or the Olympics... but I do see a drive in Lupe where he wants people to pay attention. He has started to do so over the last year through his...
Training, the gym, cardiovascular training, resistance training, weightlifting, HIIT.... and skiing.
Doesn't this seem more like the thing a racer would do in the off season and during the season rather than professional freeskiers?
It seems to not go together for the conventional skier but it...
You wait in line watching the clock tick by for the minute the lifts start rolling up the hill. You've been up since an ungodly time in the morning with your slightly reluctant ski partner. You've eaten something that made you feel slightly ill when travelling up. The coffee picked today to...
I first heard about Panda Poles when I was helping email companies for my friend Alex Hall on a downday in Stubai, now on their team for more than a year, just searching ski pole companies on Google, and this one caught my eye while scanning through the results while rain pounded the window. An...
Markus Eder grew up in Italy, renowned for it's skiing but not it's freeskiers, which is now changing. Markus Eder has paved the way for Italian freeskiing, establishing a large presence in Europe. He's competed at Freestyle.CH, won parts of the FWT and arrived late in Sochi to still put down a...
moon-moon is not a pivotal part of skiing or Newschoolers and he also rents his stuff and can't pull his mittens under his plaid shirt. I also know him. One time he winded himself so hard I thought he'd broken his ribs, and then I laughed at him. Also snowboarders ride over his skis because he...
Frej Jönsson blew up in 2012 as a guy who did the seemingly impossible. He Cork 3ed twice on the same rotation on the same jump. It had been thought about for years, and then he came out of nowhere at the JOSS Big Air Invitational in 2012 and blew people's minds. It was the first in competition...
Brady Perron is an underlying force in the styles we see on skis today. Possibly the guy that rhymes with Mmkay took on board the ideas that Brady has spread through his skiing. An underlying sense of being free. Brady puts his skis on, unrestricted, and does what he wants to do, whether that's...
Daniel Hanka is part of the movement in the parts of Europe which don't have many hills to ski on, that have a natural ability and love for sliding down snow on some wood and possibly some rails. Daniel Hanka is quite rare being so good from the Czech Republic, a far drive from the bigger...
Jake Doan is a man who blew up last year after leaving Fatypus and joining ON3P alongside the likes of Karl Fostvedt and John Kutcher. He's also started filming with these two and the multiple others who are on the infamous group that is 4bi9. His original home was Whiteface, NY, but he moved...
The name Niklas Eriksson in Sweden, the home country of the one we know as well, is one that conjures up "Niklas Eriksson", a former professional ice hockey player, who was on the Swedish national team. He won a gold medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics, and now coaches at Lillehammer. In our...
Sander Hadley, an individual to say the least. He's part of the Sweetgrass crew and their infamous 2013 release of "Valhalla", the pro team of Panda Poles and recently new joinee of ON3P. His outlook and image seem to be intertwined in the world of skiing, everything he rides for and rocks is...
Nico Vuignier uses the mountain very differently to that of most in his home, Switzerland, escaping from a generation of park rats into the wilderness, with some seeing him as the next Eric Pollard, seen as he spends most of his time in the backcountry of Europe, specifically French Switzerland...
