The ski industry is not known for its ability to hide secrets and the fact that a new boot brand was coming to the freeski/freeride space would have been a pretty big thing to try and hide. Thus, it has been some time since we confirmed the news that something bootlike was cooking over at Full...

I’ve made the mistake of saying goodbye to NS before. Way back in 2015 I made the jump from writing and shooting photos for NS on the side to working full time for Blister Review. I worked that adult job for a few years, took a break to pursue illustration full time, worked construction, worked...

The pistes can be quite intimidating for a beginner snowboarder. There is a lot to think about, from the terminology, techniques and how the Snowboarding equipment works. But that is when you actually get on the mountain, what about everything leading up to this moment? Such as the Snowboard...

I haven’t skied yet this week. If everything is going correctly, I’ll be driving up to the hill when this publishes, loading the lift as you read it. But for now, I haven’t skied yet this week. It’s been dumping in the Tetons, not like it’s been in Tahoe or the Wasatch, but we’ve had that...

Yo Newschoolers! I'm stoked to announce that the third pack of season 3 is now available on skards.life. As an east coast kid I grew up idolizing Tom Wallisch, so I'm particularly hyped to present his card in addition to many others. This pack also features a number of influential...

The Newschoolers Awards are a wrap for another year, celebrating the best of what went down in 2022, from individual stunts to banger ski movies. It was a tricky year to be a judge, with a huge number of projects popping up, and whittling them all down into a shortlist proved perhaps a bigger...

Just having a week where I'm thankful for skiing. But also, my feet hurt. Hope it's been worth it for you too!

The chances are you're reading this on a phone. Maybe you're taking a quick break from Instagram, maybe you even clicked through directly from there. Maybe you're more of a Tik Tok guy. Regardless... fuck you. I've spent a lot of my recent years feeling like the proverbial old man yelling at a...

The sky was clear when I woke up. Red streaks burning through the wispy clouds. It hasn’t snowed in a week, and for once I can see the ski hill from the back door. I imagine I can pick out the texture of moguls, the slight sheen of ice on the steeper groomers. No reason to ski today. Leisurely...

‘Tis the season for depressing old winter safety Cy to come out of the cave and wave my bony fingers at all these skiers having too much fun. It’s outreach season for our local SAR team, it’s “fat snowpack, let's make sketchy choices” season in much of the mountain west, and this stuff is on my...

X Games is the big one (at least 3 years out of 4). So in a sense, it's a relief that the biggest show of the year is independent of most of the other comps, if perhaps even more commercialized. One thing is for sure though, X Games build the biggest, wildest setups of the year, and this year...
