The individual portion of the inaugural rebooted Dew Tour just finished up amidst a traditional Breckenridge blizzard. The jump section yesterday, definitely had its shortcomings largely due to conditions during the build. But the rail section was straight up dope...
In the jump section yesterday, Kelly Sildaru blew away the competition with both ways switch 9s. Her 17 point lead seemed pretty unsurmountable going in to the rail section, which she had been killing in the practices, and so it proved. The weather, somewhat predictably for Dew Tour / Breck...
The women's big air section of the slopestyle just finished up in Breckenridge. With the injuries in the lead up (Emma Dahlstrom, Tiril, Julia Tanno, Tess Ledeux) it always had the potential to be somewhat of a foregone conclusion, and so it proved.
The lack of snow in Breck limited things to a...
The first event of the 'reimagined and then castrated by early season conditions' Dew Tour just finished up. It comprised a four run Big Air contest forming the jumps section of the slopestyle. It seemed pretty unlikely a big air jump was going to be a hotbed of innovation to a degree so it...

Welcome to the Weakend, a weekly editorial selection of big news, what the fuck moments, and of course the finest visual offerings in skiing from the past seven days. The theory sure isn’t new but check back every Sunday to make sure you didn’t miss something big while you were out getting...
Yo Sami, Since we last did an interview your ski career has moved on pretty fast. Tell me about the last two years? What do you think made the industry notice you?
I don't think the industry acctually noticed me, or at least thats not what it felt like for me. Just two or three people gave me...

Winter has been a little stop start so far to say the least and so while we wait on enough snow to we can finish off our last few in depth reviews for the...
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a super cheap crowd funded deal to shred Saas Fee for the winter, possibly the best offer for skiers on a budget this winter. As of today, Saas Fee have confirmed that with the sale of 75,000 passes, they will now honour the offer and everyone who has signed...

The touring binding market has become one of the most hotly contested pieces of ski industry real estate in recent years. And that’s because the solution to going uphill and still enjoying the down isn’t obvious. Rewind to not very long ago and your basic options were super...

The K2 team rebuild continues with the addition of Joona Kangas and you have to concede it's another great pickup for an increasingly diverse team. Joona is one of the standouts of a new breed of skiers...

Struggling for snow? Winter not getting started how you'd hoped? Well for once us Euros get to say that the Alps are the place to be. More specifically the Southern Swiss Alps, particularly around Ticino, Saas Fee and Zermatt where at altitudes...
There is no question Jason Levinthal is a skiing living legend. He has played arguably the biggest individual role of anyone in making sure that many of the younger folk reading this aren't standing sideways right now. Three years ago, with masterminding Line Skis and Full Tilt boots pride of...
Parker White hit us up last night to break the news that he's parted company with long term sponsor Tomahawk. And if that was unexpected, what is even more so is he has just become the first ever skier to sign with 686 clothing.
Parker was recommended to 686 as the perfect first skier by...

Antti is generally a pretty quiet guy although, in typical Finnish fashion, he's a bit of a dark horse at parties. Personally, I rate him as one of the most stylish, innovative and interesting skiers on the planet right now, hes certainly one of the most underrated...
It seems like a while since Joss Christensen parted company with Fischer and the speculation started about where one of the nicest and most passionate skiers would end up (also he won the Olympics so he's kind of a big deal). After months of sightings of Joss riding different brands' skis and...
It's fair to say that in a normal year, Saas Fee is far from a cheap place to do your skiing. The scenic mountain village is in Switzerland, already one of the most expensive countries on the planet, and is something of a luxury ski destination. But this year things look a little bit different...
The Roofbox is back for 2016-17, with one aim: No bullshit, in-depth ski reviews, by ski bums for ski bums. No sponsored athletes, no 'we took 3 runs at a ski test'. Brands send us the sticks and we spend a solid chunk of our own seasons shredding them. Then when, and only when, we've spent...
Words by the man himself.
"At age 12, I’d just gotten braces, started listening to Eminem, and was blowing minds at elementary school with my fashion game… bleached, spiked, hair, pukka shell necklace, Hawaiian shirt, and cargo shorts. Y2K was a good year for me. Most importantly though, this...
This summer, Newschoolers teamed up with Transworld Snowboarding and Snow Park Technologies to rank and catalog the best terrain parks across North America. SPT sent out their team to conduct an analysis of the number and variety of features at terrain parks across North America. Meanwhile, we...
