Candide Thovex is an incredible skier. He is one of the greatest ever to do it. Hands down, no question. He is capable of creating mind-warping edits, the kind that explode out of skiing’s social circles and wind up amongst your relatives and on daytime television. His skiing is sensational...

At Newschoolers, we love to get the community involved because community is at the heart of what we are. That’s why we do Q&A’s, that’s why we make sure we get out on the hill and shred with other NS’ers. It’s obviously really fun, but crucially it helps to shrink the distance between...

COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. — November 29, 2015 — Thanks to the hard work by Copper Mountain operations crews and 62 inches of natural snow on the season so far, the Main Vein Superpipe was able to open at Copper Mountain yesterday, Sunday, Nov. 29. Later this season, Woodward Copper will once again...

Photos: Scott Nettleton We were in the parking lot by 6:15 this morning, and found our way down to the growing line up ten minutes later. A row of tents occupied the first switchback; those who were brave enough to sleep the night at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort earned their right to...

It’s happening, folks. Grab your skis, grab your livers, open your minds and get ready. December is almost upon us and it’s time once again for the east coast’s premier rail contest, Rails 2 Riches. Peyton O'Connor circa 2014 | Photo: Peter Cirilli R2R 2015 promises to live up to its...

photos: Peter Matlashewski Riding the Horstman glacier this year is a bit of an ethical project. On any given day an army of personnel and machinery digs and pushes and scoops huge sections of snowpack out of the hillside. Their job is to prolong the summer season as far as possible. It sort...

Photos: Peter Matlashewski I don’t know what any of our expectations were, coming into Newschoolers week at Camp of Champions this year. A loose plan was in place, with a looser cast of characters descending upon Whistler to carry it out. What unfolded was a debauched, unreasonable, chaotic...

It’s been an eventful first three days in Whistler for Newschoolers week at Camp of Champions. In between late nights in the village and long days on the glacier, we found the time to catch up with old friends, meet a host of new campers, and get tuned in to the one-of-a-kind Whistler...

Every story starts somewhere, right? To kick off every tale, no matter how long or how short, there is a moment, a flash or a dull thud that sets off enumerable other thuds and flashes that trace a kind of line. The line itself is bent. This story, I thought, began on Bleury street, under the...

With files from Frederic Ferland Photos: Jamie Walter Superunknown XII, the twelfth installment of Level 1’s signature spring contest, is over. 10 of the brightest, gnarliest, most stylish young skiers in the world are going home. Back to Norway and California and Ontario. Jonah Williams...

Photos: Jamie Walter Vegard Hokstad went down around 12:30 this afternoon. That was after he had already stomped his bio 10, twice. It was after Jonah Williams had sent a perfect cork 9 blunt on his second hit and Gabe Taube had hand dragged a double 1080. By the time Vegard went down, Dylan...

Photos: Jamie Walter Day one of Level 1’s Superunknown XII is in the books. Or maybe it’s more like day one-and-a-half. After all, we arrived last night. Descended might be a better word – from as far away as Olso and Moscow; from Fernie, B.C. and Salt Lake City. The Norwegians were...
