Exit Strategy I'm a decent chef - Anthony Bourdain Regarding crews, it's fair to say that Chef (formerly Chef Boyardee) is what you would want from a group of friends. Dedicated skiers, who like to film, and have fun. After producing edits for years, the group of 20-odd skiers came together...

Words by Isabella Tvede-Jensen The past few weeks have given us all food for thought when it comes to the structures that run deeply within the freeskiing community: On one side, freeskiing is a sport that throughout the last 12 years has made me feel free and independent as a human and a...

It might feel crazy took look forward to it with snow finally falling for many of us... but we can't deny it; we're quietly already excited for some summer skiing. With slushy park laps, good vibes, and a ton of progression, it's hard to beat skiing in summer. Newschoolers Week is coming back...

Salomon is back in (post-?)freeskiing. That in itself is huge news. But the ski that launches today has to be easily the most teased, longest-developed that I can remember. I've been seeing Nico Vugnier around Switzerland on versions of this ski for what has to be at least five years. But it was...

Origonally posted September 2021 on www.paradiseskis.com. For me, COVID-19 was the Freshman-15 of viruses and let’s just say, I need a little work to get ready for ski season this year. I took it upon myself to find some simple, easy-to-learn exercises that will help me hit the slopes and stop...

SKIING EXERCISES WRITTEN BY GREG LOUIE, DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY (AKA @THE_SKI_PT ON INSTAGRAM) - The article was origonally written for and posted on www.paradiseskis.com. I remember a time halfway through last ski season when my inbox was flooded with messages saying, “I just tore my ACL...

Ok, so as a former ski racer here me out. Like ya- ur good at racing but really? I’ve been skiing around and have seen some racers with a sticker on their helmet or something that says “Ski Pow”. Now maybe I’m wrong but ski racers ski a lot of ice. More ice than pow for how I’ve experienced it...

This year, with the awards going fully virtual (shout out to Swany Gloves @ON3P & @Windells for making these awards possible), we are taking the opportunity to shed some clarity on what each award means, and the judging process. @Twig and @curt_ had LJ Strenio, Alex Hackel & Xavier Mayrand are...

What it takes to be great: Greatness comes from grit, determination, hard work, focus, and dedication. Greatness comes from consistency, support, systems, and collaboration. Greatness comes from triumph. For the Telluride greats, this is no different. For as many times as Lucas Foster, Gus...

It's that time of year again... We're feeling bloated, hungover, and incapable of much on skis, although nosebutters are feeling a tad easier after all the Christmas meals. It's also time to take a look back at the past twelve months and reward some of the madness that has gone down. Over the...

A 30 something allegedly was hooking up with a 15 year old while other campers filmed. Allegedly Woodward paid campers to delete the vids AND PAID THE VICTIMS FAMILY! This was in their PA camp which doesn’t have a ski program but I learned about this on Tuesday and have heard nothing about it...

So I was chilling at Wild Mountain in Minnesota with a few homies and these random ass mfs come outta nowhere with their uncore ski race outfits and one of them was on LINE FUCKING HONEY BADGERS! Yep you heard me right LINE HONEY BADGERS. Like this mf was wearing race shin guards in the park on...

For the last few years, I’ve been updating my original backcountry checklist that I made for newschoolers. Last year though, I started working with Kellen Busby to digitize the checklist and make it into a web app. You can find the new, all-digital version here. And I wrote a more in-depth...

All photos: Oscar Hall Yesterday saw the public drop of the fourth part of Faction's movie tetralogy, Abstract. The opening street segment, featuring Koga Hoshino, Alex Hall, Mac Forehand & Antti Ollila is certainly our highlight of the new project. Mac was a relative newbie to the streets...

Zara has launched a ski outerwear line. Depending on your perspective - whether you see the glass as half full or half empty - this news could either be just a drop in the bucket or another case of wtf. There are several arguments that can be drawn from this news. Do we need another...

Jonathan Rollins - (JRollins01) | Low Pressure Podcast #242 If you don't know JR, put him on your the list of the up-and-coming skiers you need to know. The young Rossland, BC native, who was just nominated for the IF3 "Breakout Skier of the Year" award, for his part in the HEAD team film...

Cover: Anni Kärävä All photos shot by Arttu Heikinnen (Digital + 120mm) _ It has been almost exactly 2 years since I last sat down to write a ski movie review. It was how I cut my teeth in this industry and was the beginning of the snowball effect that led me to where I am now. I often say...

Introduction New for the 2023 - 24 season, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 BOA GW is an updated, revised version of Atomic's already successful entry into the one-boot does it all category. Let's just call this mouthful the Hawx 130 v2 (with 130 referring to its flex index; ie it's stiff). This...
