“For me, my livelihood has always been based in the outdoors.” Jay Starnino pushes back a little in his chair and looks at the table; “my happiness has always been based in the outdoors, and so much of that is the visual quality.” We’re seated near the back of the Last Drop, one of Revelstoke’s...

SBC Media filed for bankruptcy in July of last year. Suddenly, and for most of us, unexpectedly, a huge hole was blasted into the Canadian ski media landscape. Out of that shakeup, Jeff Schmuck and Travis Persaud have created something new and beautiful in Forecast Magazine. They’re doing good...

It is with no shortage of anticipation that we await the first ever Red Bull ReDirect competition, to be held in Quebec City on February 12th. Red Bull is known for funding and hosting creative competitions, from Play Streets to Foret Urbaine to the Cold Rush series. JP’s ‘08 recap is worth...

Photos: Scott Nettleton The Swatch Freeride World Tour kicks off next Saturday, in Andorra. The event will feature a live webcast and “an event village” for fans, with a live DJ and food and beverages, and an opening ceremony and everything. It will be quite the production; one of five FWT...

We were fifteen minutes into the drive when I asked what the purpose of this trip was. “Drinking,” Conor replied, turning back slightly from the steering wheel to address the question. It was just after dark on Friday evening and we were climbing through Rogers pass, heading for Kicking Horse...

We talk a lot about creativity on this website. Innovators are idolized, weirdness has a cult following. It’s one of my favourite aspects of skiing that alongside absolute heaters like the Faction Collective’s latest, there are kids and pros alike discovering new ways of throwing old tricks, and...

Kev was dejected yesterday. We skied 11 am till 3 in the afternoon and the snow was good. Park was popping, and it was soft in north bowl; the kind of skiing our friend Liv would term “yummy.” It wasn’t the conditions that were the bummer. No, it had something to do with the crumpled pages that...

The Bunch is not a single, clearly defined crew, they don’t fit the mould. “That’s not the important part” Par Hagglund explained to me. “It’s funny how people... every interview I’ve ever done is like ‘Who are in the bunch?’” That’s missing the point, he said. “It’s just: The Bunch. Weird...

Some ink has been spilled over the years on the subject of music in ski edits. To trace a loose progression: early film releases leaned heavily on punk rock and Swollen Members, before the era of edit skiing diversified the need for music to keep up with rapidly evolving styles of skiing...

The concept behind Andy Parry’s Tell a Friend Tour is pretty simple. In Andy’s own words, “the reason I want to do this is the original idea of creating something that supports the people who need to be supported in our industry.” That includes kids at East Coast hills who fly under skiing's...

12 months ago, I told my parents I was going to take the year off from school. I told them I needed to see the world. The whole thing was a long time coming, the final step in a drawn-out process that I just had to sack up and send. All the clever, pseudo-vagabond bullshit I had running around...

Is there any aspect of ski-town living that corporations can’t touch? Not that they couldn’t, if they wanted to, that’s not really worth debating. I think that major companies have the clout to pursue just about any project they want, with no worries about whether us normies might care. What I...

December 21, 2015 – Whistler Blackcomb has signed an agreement with the Whistler Blackcomb Freestyle Ski Club (WBFSC) and the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association (CFSA) to build a national training centre for freestyle skiing on Blackcomb Mountain. The facility will consist of a permanent mogul...

Photos: Ian Houghton People have been pushing for a terrain park at Revelstoke Mountain Resort for some time. The hill that boasts the most vertical in all of North America has been a haven for big mountain skiers and snowboarders since it opened, in 2007, but the area’s park riding population...
