Go skiing at any resort and you are bound to spot yourself a Jaded Local in their natural habitat. This is a special creature, who typically resides in the squalors of small ski towns and lodges. Known for their crusty clothes and attitude, the Jaded Local is hard to miss. Alta is home to many...

Yo Newschoolers! I just released the first pack of "Skards" (Skier Cards) and couldn't be more stoked to see this vision come to life. Head over to the website and cop a pack, or just toss a follow on the 'Gram. "Skards" came to life in an effort to create something tangible and exciting that...

Working in the town of Alta is terrible. The “mom and pop” slope nestled in Little Cottonwood Canyon is known for its steep terrain, good skiers, and lots of snow. Although this sounds ideal, it is not. Sometimes it snows so much you can’t even go outside for fear of avalanche danger. They have...

Photo cred @stefan_mahl Skier: @luki1schaefer Holy frig what a week, glad I found the time to really comb through everything because there was no shortage of content pouring into the site. Things are heating up for real, and it shows, let's get into it. ---- Monday morning's release of...

Discussion with pro skier and freeski legend Alexi Godbout ranging from his early days skiing in Tremblant, Quebec to getting picked up by Salomon as a young teen, to his competition days traveling the world competing in the world's biggest events, and his focus to backcountry and big mountain...

Alright, we kinda popped off this week not gonna lie, so I'm gonna try to include more than just a couple of the top submissions. More content from the average user is required, and luckily there are usually plenty of bangers submitted every day. But we're gonna start at the beginning of the...

With the sheer volume of season edits put out over the course of a spring, summer, and fall, some can get lost in the shuffle. Here are some season long cuts highlights from a winter cut short. (cover: Koga Hoshino from Koga Hoshino 2020 Season Edit by Yuki Murayama) Ah, the many cycles of...

Icon is Jossi Wells and Torin Yater-Wallace from their upcoming Deviate project shot by Daniel Ronnback, stolen from @deviate.film. I've never been great at skiing. Maybe good? But definitely not great. At least not great enough to have the boys always eager to point the camera at me. Maybe I...
