    Can OUTSIDE live up to the Warren Miller Name?

    If you watched Warren Miller’s—or should I say Outside’s—movie All Time last year without any context, you might think Warren Miller passed away just the week before. It’s a well-crafted tribute to a legend in the ski film industry. Warren Miller didn’t just make ski movies; he innovated them...

    In Celebration of 7/20

    (Matt Heffernan performing the 7/20 blunt. Photo by Riley Snyder.) — The cork 720 blunt grab is the quintessential ski trick—the hallmark of our sport. You may ask about the backflip mute, the flat three japan, the cork three safety, the zero-spin, or the 180, and I agree with you that these...

    The Leviathan Gap: Skiing's Untouched Behemoth

    It truly is a monster of the backcountry. Estimates regarding the distance of the gap vary in the range of approximately 150-165 feet but one thing is for certain, it's fucking huge. Not much is known about this gap besides that it is nestled in the Little Cottonwood Canyon, found in the...

    Where to Ski (after the 4th)

First on the list is the only outdoor lift serviced year round resort in America. Timberline is on...

    WE DON’T APPRECIATE LOCAL SKI SHOPS ENOUGH

    BY DYLAN SEALE In the heart of every mountain town, ski shops are the true glue that holds these communities together. Without these shops, who’d help throw local rail jams, host the next ski movie night, or fix your bindings after they explode for the third time this season? My guess...

    NBD Photos?

    I don’t think I’ve felt this fortunate in a while. @ez_living @emluuxas @arrrghney and I had the opportunity to ski under the Aurora in the Legendary #Holybowly thanks to @kendrasonia @sunshinevillage for helping sort this out on short notice. After catching the last of the sunset it took all...

    Bruce Oldham/Ian Osbu

    Can we just refresh this topic on Newschoolers, the cancers such as Bruce oldham and Ian osby bringing this wack subscription based scam model to skiing. Praying on kids that think they’re learning something from a YouTube video or an arrogant “coach” on a discord call. Just super shady and has...

    Spins in and out of rails are corny

    Riding through the park, I often see a lot of talented young rippers doing as many spins as possible on jumps and rails, but it just doesn’t look that steezy in my opinion. It’s very similar to going to the skatepark for a chill skate sesh, but then you get there and there’s some scooter kids...

    Lebron, Wemby, and Noah Albaladejo???

    In the second semester of ninth grade, I was awarded a free period because my grades were really good in the first semester. They were awarding free periods to over-performing fifteen year olds during the height of the Clash Royale craze. Think about that. Were we going to use that time to...

    Salomon Depart 1.0 Worth the Hype?

    When I was growing up, Salomon was everywhere in freeskiing. Whether it was Bobby Brown's switch dub misty on the Suspect or Dumont's road gap 3 on the Shogun, Salomon had a huge presence in the scene. As a 13 year old on Newschoolers, of course I wanted the G Suit and a pair of suspects (the...
