wassup y'all in the fairness of open debate, please be mindful of those people who hold opinions and political views which are polemic to your own. i am only speakin' for myself in this post: i do not represent any companies or individuals potentially associated with what i be sayin' here. i...

When I think back to my youth I don't remember not knowing how to ski. I do remember forgetting how to ski as life took on other pursuits but I don't remember as a child not knowing how to ski. My ski career began on a small local hill called Youngsville Skiways which became SkiBuckaloons which...

--- Have you ever lied to your parents about having finished your book report so that you could go have fun with your friends instead? Sure, we all have (unless you're a fucking nerd). You both knew it was a lie from the start but now you have to figure out how the fuck you are going to read...

Yesterday it became very apparent to me, just how lucky I am. We were weekend skiers, my dad, sister and I. I hated waking up early, the long drives, frustration when I couldn’t figure it out, even crying on the mountain. I didn’t realize what my dad was doing for me: instilling a life-long...

I’ve been skiing for the past couple of years and the nines are really interesting to watch considering all the pros have perfect jumps and rails, but this year it seems like there’s really just not much stuff at all, I think there’s two sections and overall there’s only about 10 features. I...

Ahmet's right, when Freeskiing was introduced to the Olympics, the whole freeski scene was forced to take a look at itself and get it together so that skiers could be understood by the mainstream viewers & audience or as Ahmet says, "button up". My question is; does that have to continue? Do we...

This season, I jumped to the dark side of skiing. Judging contests is an interesting challenge, pressure-filled and fun all at once. I’ve visited top-tier resorts, met my idols, and learned a lot about the state of skiing. Judging is not easy. Every skier thinks they deserve to win, and we don’t...

As pow days become more and more crowded i find myself prefering spring days

So when you see the words “freeskiing” and “GOAT” together several names come to mind, whether it be the cat-like and silky smooth vision and execution of Candide Thovex on the gnarliest big mountain spots you’ve ever seen, or the innovative, pin-point precision and steeze of Henrik Harlaut...

I looked up to Ahmet a lot when I was a kid. In fact, I told him this right off the rip. He was, in my mind, the first brown dude I had seen "make it"... he was in a lot of ways, proof that someone from my background could make a place for themselves in this industry. For those wondering, "Why...

Last winter I started a project to ski with and tell the stories of some of my favourite skiers... trying to lock down people in the middle of a pandemic wasn't easy so we were pushed to film every thing in the spring and again in fall. I love listening to freeski podcasts (I'm pretty sure I'm...

This year, I had one resolution and it was to step out of my confort zone. So after k2, armada, and line I decided to try faction. One of my friends was running the prodigy 3.0 2020 and they seemed to be quite durable, tho he wasn't a park rats like me and specialy wasn't a big rail guy. I was...

I waited a while to post this one here, because I wasn't sure NS was the right forum for this kind of conversation, but after sitting with it, I realize NS is probably one of the most important forums for this to get to. Hope you're all doing well, - Adam Warning: Before listening, know that...

Hey y’all, I’m looking into getting a new pair of skis for next season and want your opinion. I like ripping the big mountain but also like a little park as well. I like hitting side hits and natural hits. I want a ski that will hold a good edge but also give me some float on pow days. I have...

After some delay... We back! ep. 25 with Phil Casabon is live! I sat down with Phil at his home in Shawinigan last fall to talk skiing once again. We discussed everything that happened following his December 2019 knee injury. We talked about his 2020-2021 comeback season, where he was hungry...
