Saas-Fee is THE place to train in late-summer and autumn for both up-and-comers and seasoned pros alike. In recent years, that has been pretty much the end of it, with few skiers beyond those trying to add that extra spin or grab to improve their comp run venturing out...
It's official, skiing's biggest film bonanza, the High Five Festival in Annecy, has been cancelled for 2020. Scheduled to be the 10th anniversary of the event, plans for this year were to be bigger and better than ever, but as with so much of 2020, the pandemic situation has intervened...

It seems to me that, as in skateboarding and surfing, the number of women I see out there ripping is growing fast. Thanks go out, in part at least, to the increasing number of female role models out there crushing it, not just for comps but also filming for movies and...

Thanks to Zermatt Glacier Days, the summer park on the Plateau Rosa has become one of the most dreamed of summer skiing destinations in the world. Known for having more creative features than most summer parks, it's certainly top of my list of fun places to shred in...
P3t3r - Who inspires you the most these days?
Who inspires me these days... my sister is my number one inspiration. I look up to her so much, such a hard worker. Also crazy carl inspires me, he’s just one of those guys that has a heart of gold and absolutely loves skiing!

Kai Mahler started his career as a big air specialist of mind-boggling talent. His X Games performances were questionably scored for years, with Kai throwing some of the most progressive and impressive tricks ever done, but somehow never finding himself at the top of the podium. As time has...
The odds are that if you're reading this, you're a skier. You live and breathe skiing and you've at least wondered what it'd be like to work in the ski industry. Maybe you're even actively looking for a new role. We've had emails and messages from a few brands about opportunities they currently...
High Five Festival in Annecy is by far and away the biggest ski film festival, and perhaps the biggest celebration of freeskiing, in the annual calendar. This year, it turns 10 years old and so, global catastrophes permitting, it's sure to be even more insane than usual. Right now, they are...

MDV informed us today that they have decided to end their sponsorship of the Fagan twins following their apparent use of racial slurs on social media. The brothers, both of whom are current members of the US ski team, are seen as two of the leading stars of the next generation of competition...
One of the more controversial things to have happened in the history of 'freeskiing' was FIS joining the sport. There had been official world cups in halfpipe the previous season, but with the Olympics now on the horizon, slopestyle too was inducted to the FIS freestyle circuit. And so, the...

@chiprid3r - What were the (top) breakthrough steps for you to go from talented guy to a revenue-positive business?
Hahaha I could answer that question if I felt like I was ever a talented guy. I missed the first step in that transition, but regarding revenue-position, I never operated Arsenic...
@nmwninjart - Who were the skiers you looked up to for inspiration?
Kaya Turkski was hands down the biggest.
I used to rollerblade before I was into skiing and then saw her and wanted to do what she was doing lol. Ashley Battersby, Sarah Burke, Kristi leskinin too. So many people inspire me...
