A day after GoodEnoughBGK dropped what is arguably the edit of the year; a raw-cut springtime dismantling of PCMR so chock-full of hammers you thought it was a goddamn carpentry class at your local community college, Superproof Inc. has leapt onto the scene with something else altogether...

It's a sunny, slushy Saturday in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. The forecast says it's going to be 26 degrees on Monday. Spring is officially taking hold on the east coast, and you can feel that summer isn't far behind. But for one last weekend...
It’s finally over. We've survived the Olympics. It was a lot to take in, but we did it. We got through puppies and valentines and Miley Cyrus and pants that were “falling down”. Over the past ten days we did our best to bring you all the Olympic coverage we could - and some of it was flat-out...
We're stoked to announce the selections for the Newschoolers Journalism Program. These writers were chosen based on their skills, their stories, and the votes from the community. They will be invited to the NS Journalist Cult and from there we will start producing content. As a reminder, each...
What up!
In January we announced that we would be relaunching the Newschoolers Journalism Program. We put out the call for submissions from the community, and you guys (and girls) responded enthusiastically. We're super stoked on the work you put out, and we're closing in on the final...
The last thing I remember is seeing Jeff Schmuck. I thought it was kind of cool. Like damn, that’s Schmuck right there. Huh. Then I turned back to the double G&T that Mr. Bishop had placed in my hand, and everything goes black.

“Kind of a bummer the GoPro ran out of batteries eh?” My buddy Hugh asks me as we hang up our gear in the lodge. I mull the statement for a moment.
We’re at the end of a day that saw us start out before sunrise, and do several hundred metres of vertical...
The scene plays itself out: A skier cruises down the snowy slopes of his home resort, his shoulders hunched, his mittened hands hanging loosely by his sides. He doesn’t carry poles; he doesn’t need them. There is a black balaclava obscuring the lower portion of his face, while his eyes and...
Since time immemorial (sometime around the turn of the millennium) the users of Newschoolers.com have held and understood the assertion that everyone else on the site is 13 years old. The moronic posts, trolling and bickering that occur daily in NS’s forums have long supported this belief...
Anyone who’s hung around the ski industry long enough can attest to the fact that producing top quality ski footage is an exercise in frustration. In a world where corners get cut and politics get involved, the end result is a product that often doesn’t capture the true essence of freeskiing. As...
