You may or may not have noticed that the last few weeks have been hectic in the Newschoolers offices i.e wherever we happen to be at the time. Twig was on a North American road trip of a lifetime - article to come, myself, Peter and Curt went to Revelstoke for a not-so-relaxing getaway and we took over Sunshine Village for a week to test out a pile (quite literally) of skis hot of the presses for the 23/24 season.
Nestled in the midst of the madness was a weekend like no other, an event that stood out to everyone who attended or watched through FOMO-riddled Instagram vision. The brainchild of NS’s own Curt Hiller, Pro Bowl Riding (PBR).
Sunshine Village is known for their willingness to bring visions to life - look at snowboarding’s (don’t hate me) Holy Bowly, Tales From The Village and It’s Tits - as well as being Newschoolers’ unofficial home.
For its third(?) iteration, PBR and the epic @shredssv park crew, shoutout @brockmarzolf, left no stone unturned in creating the biggest and best park yet, with hidden gaps, creative lines and some seriously gnarly rails.
Stacked crews descended on SSV for a three-day shred fest like no other. Famous faces like Ian Hamilton, Kyle Coxworth and Jacob Belanger showed us how it’s done and the local homies kept firing on all cylinders.
With a loose but lit format being the primary focus, skiers rode the park with friends, filmers and fresh faces all weekend. Stacking clips and ticking off tricks. Riders judged winners and the MVPs who walked away with fresh sets of Nordica skis were chosen for being the biggest homies across the event.
In the last year, I’ve been blessed enough to attend a wide scope of events and they always spark something in me. It’s a reminder of the vitality and extensive reach of our sport. I’ve walked away from every one of these with at least one new homie and a bunch of excellent, often very cloudy, memories. PBR was no different, open format, flow-oriented events bring out the best in skiing and more importantly skiers.
I could tell you more about how epic this event was but if you were there you already know and if you missed it you’ll just have to rely on these photos, the recap edit and attending next year to see what all the fuss is about!
