“Why on earth are you taking skis to Malaga?” were the words that greeted our crew bright and early on a Sunday morning at the airport. And to tell the truth, we didn’t really know. The squad was UK railgod Mike Rowlands, Dutch fridge-kid turned jump-wizard Mees...
A few weeks ago we announced how you could win your chance to be flown to Europe to shred with Candide. More than 550 Entries later, we've just received word from the man himself announcing his top 10. Congratulations to all 10 finalists, and an especially big shout out to @bernierosow for...
The first day of B&E invitational went off yesterday in Les Arcs, France. Long story short, everyone on the stacked riders list is killing it out here. The variety of skiers keeps things super interesting with riders each taking a totally different approach to a course with near infinite lines...

I recently spent a few days in the mostly sunny and very beautiful resort of Kuhtai, Austria testing a massive selection of next year’s gear. With super fast laps and an amazing variety of terrain, from pillow lines and trees to open bowls and snowparks...
Just above these words is the first episode of Good Company's season long behind-the-scenes web series 'Vice Versa'. Kyle and Tom dropped in to tell us how they made the decision to shoot a full length and give us an exclusive look their plans for the upcoming season. Enjoy.
So this is pretty...
Run 1:
First run of the day, Torin threw down his stock dub 12/alleyoop dub 9 run with just 4 hits thanks to going absolutely huge. But he still scored a 91.33. It's so good to see him back on skis, and it's been clear all day that the pipe is super short, so no complaints here. Aaron Blunck...
Run 1:
Devin Logan started off the scoring with an 81.33 with a run including a pretty decent AO flat 7. Cassie Sharpe immediately bumped her thanks to back to back flairs and 6 hits for an 86.0. Maddie Bowman had a pretty decent run but are grabs are optional in women's pipe for some reason...
This afternoon's pipe finals were actually semi-interesting, largely because the short pipe in Norway meant some of the guys were only getting 4 hits and nobody got more than 5 which messed with the judging a little. One thing that was starkly apparent this afternoon was the massive gulf between...
X Games Ski Big Air went down on city jump for the first time this weekend. The women threw down earlier, the men just finished up and the level was crazy high. It's a pity that guys like Vini$ didn't make the finals to mix things up and display some of the variety that exists in skiing but it...
The first ever X Games Women's Big Air just went off on the city jump in Oslo. The format, 2 jumps each, was a bit of a let down. Certainly nowhere near as good as the Jam format we see in the Big Air in Aspen, either for the riders or the entertainment value. It was good to see the women...
Big air Qualis just went down in Oslo. Spins were spun, corks were corked and missed grabs pretty much defined who made finals with all but 3 guys landing at least one of their two runs. Fabian Boesch somehow managed to get a triple cork 16 around on the city jump style jump and take the first...
No doubt you have spent some, perhaps all, of the last 24 hours glued to your screen watching the insanity that is One Of Your Days 3. Candide is THE superstar in skiing right now, yet he's also rarely seen or heard from and even harder to pin down. But thanks to Quiksilver, we are delighted to...

It's fair to say that as part of my job I watch a lot of ski edits. It's rare enough now that I get truly excited by something upcoming, and even rarer that I'm sat constantly refreshing my inbox on the supposed drop date to make sure I see edit the...
Bluehouse Skis is looking to give away all of its assets, FOR FREE, to the perfect candidate. Check out what they had to say below:
"Anybody want a ski company?! It's official. Bluehouse has closed shop and we're ready to pass it along. As a thanks to the community that helped us get started we...
To read our latest interview with Will, click here.
I first met Will last summer. He collected me from Zermatt Train Station and I promptly invaded his bedroom floor, a move which he took with characteristic good grace. In person he's quiet and considered. He won't waste words but what he does...
We at Newschoolers are delighted, on today of all days, to announce the engagement of Andy Parry and our very own photographer, Emily Tidwell. It actually all went down on Thursday at the top of the chair in Buck Hill, MN. Minnesota is where Emily grew up and Andy brought her back home for the...
A 31-year-old Aspen skier who pushed a snowboarder 25ft of the Loge Peak chairlift at Aspen Highlands a month ago was finally arrested and charged on Thursday before appearing in District Court in Aspen.
An Aspen skier, originally from Chicago has been arrested/charged for pushing a snowboarder...

JF on top of the massive wallride on his was to the win
Friday night saw one of the craziest new contests go off in the heart of downtown Quebec. The streets were overflowing with spectators, eager to watch elite caliber freeski athletes and...
Upon learning of European snowfalls tinted orange by Saharan dust, Donald Trump vowed to keep American snow white at all costs. Speaking after his landslide victory in the New Hampshire primary, Trump announced that if elected, he would build a wall in the sky to prevent said dust from diluting...
The X Games 'Real' Series has been expanding over the years and there has been a snowboard street incarnation since 2011. But only now, years down the line, have they seen fit to include ski street as an event. Given the quality of street riding on show over that time, I struggle to see how it's...
