This season, The Bunch adds to their consistent film lineup with “Many Fantasies Later.” The film features a stacked roster of skiers, including Magnus Graner, Alex Hackel, Hugo Burvall, Øystein Bråten, Evelina Nilsson, Emil Granbom, and Jake Mageau. Graner and Hackel took charge on the...

Switzerland in spring is hard to beat. Insane terrain, slushy snow, and warm weather down in the valleys. That’s where Remco Kayser and Anttu Oikonnen found themselves towards the end of last season, alongside Nick Meilleur and Corey Grant on the media side. They were shooting for Board The...

I've known Laurent for a while. I've lived in Switzerland for many years now and he, of course, is a local. We run into each other now and again, randomly and intentionally, to ski and at industry events. I've even enjoyed a conversation in broken French with his mother at the dinner table at...

If you've been living under a rock, the holiday season is fast approaching. And, whether you're buying yet another tie for your dad, or some sweet ski socks for your NS Secret Santa, a personal touch goes a long way. That's why I put together these holiday cards for skiers. DOWNLOAD THESE CARDS...

Cover photo: Phil Mckenzie & Andrew Mildenburger It’s safe to say there has been a lot of great ski content this fall. There have been movies and shorts to the point where all even the biggest of ski fans could be forgiven for becoming a little jaded. I’ve loved the influx of content, and...

The yearly Black Friday consumer festival is upon us again with crazy deals available on everything from skis to outerwear to gloves and electronics. We like to think that our readers have their heads screwed on enough not to spend their hard-earned cash on pointless excess, but we can't deny...

yo so a remember seeing this meme about a homie trying a kfed for the first time. It was super corny but this guy does a kfed and his mind expands and he flies through space enlightened after landing it. I know I know this is stupid and a shot in the dark but I have been looking through my dms...

Two weeks ago I wrote this piece encouraging folks to work on their own gear. I explained how tweaking and repairing my ski gear adds to my overall experience as a skier. But, it seemed like it might be worth sharing some of the work I actually do, beyond the obvious things like waxing my skis...

Faction global headquarters are in Verbier, just a short train ride away from my home in Saas-Fee. As such, I drop by HQ every now and again for a catch-up, some beers, and to blag new gear. My most recent visit was a couple of weeks ago and over the course of my wanderings around the office, I...

Header image credit: Xavier Mayrand What does a Québécois skier look like? I’ll forward a semi-educated guess: an obsession with downrails, a willingness to schlep out street parts during frigid winter conditions, and a propensity towards loudly exclaiming “tabarnak!” when shit hits the fan and...

I still believe that a "weird poop" is the ideal excuse to leave work early. It's descriptive without being too specific. It's plausible, but no one will be surprised when you're healthy and back at work the next day. It's pretty ideal. Unfortunately now that I'm self-employed it doesn't work so...

What does a Québécois skier look like? I’ll forward a semi-educated guess: an obsession with downrails, a willingness to schlep out street parts during frigid winter conditions, and a propensity towards loudly exclaiming “tabarnak!” when shit hits the fan and face meets concrete. If any of this...

All things must pass and as such, Full Tilt, has evolved into K2 FL3X. Both the team and the boots themselves live on under the new moniker, with an improved, simplified lineup of boots as the focus and some game changing projects in the pipeline. If you’ve spent years buying FT boots, you will...

Photo cred @stefan_mahl Skier: @luki1schaefer We are running it back again this year with the rewind. Sadly my work schedule last year made it essentially impossible to put the Rewind out on a weekly basis, but this year is different. Let's not waste any time, and check out what the first week...
