I know I missed plenty, so let me know in the comments what else I should include!

It was a weird day today, with sun and blue skies all morning, but snow descending on the slopestyle course in Laax just for finals. It was, not to put a fine point on it, fucking freezing too, so conditions were tricky, to say the least. The course in Laax offered a unique final feature and...

Cover photo: Markus Eder capping The third annual Nendaz Backcountry Invitational went down today and, with the exception of it being ‘I’m still wondering when my genitals will reappear’ cold, it was an absolute banger of an event once again. Seriously, this might be the best ‘competition’ out...

We used to ski this run all the time. It’s the first thing I ever skied at this hill. Opening day 2016, unload off the lift, peel right, couple hundred yards on the cat track, jump off, wide open pow, traversing gently west. Big, mellow curving fall line, just steep enough to make fun turns in...

Some folks like to characterize the readers of this wonderful website as a monolithic collective of tall-T wearing, rail sliding, Skullcandy Icon listening, Full Tilt boot touting park rats. And maybe, at one time, that was true. But all of us, as skiers change and grow in our relationship to...

Periodically I'll get emails or messages asking how I learned to do what I do, what sort of art education I have, and why I draw random stuff for a ski website now. The answers to those questions are: YouTube, barely any, and because it's more fun than installing flooring. It's that simple...

The sun has risen, technically, but it’s overcast and we’re in a drainage anyway, so everything still has that dark purple hue. We slip into our boots quickly, it’s cold, no sense in standing around, and shoulder our skis to cross the highway. Look both ways, move across quickly, hyper aware of...

I used to ski full tilt boots the 130 flex and hate the cables with my whole soul. What boots are stiff because I’ve tried Atomic and Lange and both of their 130s fold in half with a wc booster. I don’t ski park

Just like last year, I’ve decided that my post for the weird, dead week between Christmas and New Year’s won’t contain anything original, but will instead be a compilation of things that I consumed that affected my work this year. So buckle up! I’m going to do my best to not include any...

What makes your skiing yours? What makes a turn, or an air, or a lap feel like it belongs to you? I don’t just mean style. Style is part of it, sure, but so much of style is expressed in how we do things, not just why. What I’m talking about is more granular than style, more easily quantified...

Last season I put together 10 stained glass windows to thank the folks who make skiing possible. At the time, I knew I wanted to combine them into some sort of church scene, and finally, this season I got around to making that happen. Here's the result, sprinkled with some of my favorite people...

Today sees an announcement that has, with hindsight at least, been inevitable for some time. FIS and Freeride World Tour have 'joined forces' according to today's press release The release goes on to clarify that FIS has 'acquired' all FWT properties and will therefore own the tour as of this...

Article Icon from Rudy Lepine's, PsychoActiv If there was an Mt. Rushmore for skiers, it’s a fair assumption that Berman, Freedle, or anyone that’s worked behind the Level 1 banner deserves a spot on this hypothetical mountain. Level 1 seems to keep giving back to the Freeski community even...
