Throwback Thursday: “Dispelling The Rumors – A Uniquely Squaw Valley Ski Movie” Remember when rumors abounded at Squaw and there was no un-blurring the line between truth and reality. Come to think of it, things aren’t much different today. Once more, rumors abound in Squaw Valley, everyone talks about the possibilities constantly, and the line between truth and reality is dangerously blurred: Will it ever snow again at Squaw? Why are they removing The Fingers next year? Will Squaw finish the tunnel to Alpine? When will Squaw sell to Vail? It’s endless. […] Featured Video Miles Clark | November 1, 2018 11 Comments
Throwback Thursday: Skier Plows Head First Into Loaded Ski Rack, Gets Up As If Nothing Happened… This is priceless. She plows into this loaded ski rack head first like an NFL linebacker sending all the skis in the rack flying, then she gets up like nothing happened and starts casually picking up the skis. Yes, we laughed out loud… CrashBrains | October 25, 2018 4 Comments
Throwback Thursday: Candide Thovex Overshoots Massive Double Backflip The best part of this video is after he clearly over rotates the second flip you see him go a bit sideways, then go out of view, then you wait and see a poof of snow. The poof is priceless. Especially because it most likely means he was fine. Candide is an animal. Even his switch 180 cliff jump going into the jump was sick.

Throwback Thursday – Snowbird Founder: “My Main Objective Was to do as Much Skiing as Possible.” Released in 1972, this vintage promo film depicts the first days of skiing at Snowbird Ski Resort. Known for its preponderance of blower-light powder, the original opening day had to be pushed back due to too much snow – in the form of an avalanche. Snowbird lies 20 miles southeast from Salt Lake City in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The resort […] Robin Azer | October 11, 2018 1 Comment
Throwback Thursday: Family Guy 1989 Juicy Fruit SKIING Commercial This commercial was part of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit “The Taste is Going to Move You” ad campaign. It was shot in 1989 and then first aired in 1991, shown primarily in Canada. How fun! I’ve always been more of a mint-flavor guy, but by looking at how sendy they’re getting back then, I may have to change it up! Family […] SnowBrains | September 27, 2018 1 Comment
Throwback Thursday | Candide Kamera There’s nothing wrong with digging up the past, unless you’re talking about those ex-girlfriends. Leave them in the past. Rarely is there something in the ski world so ahead of its time that it’s still impressive two years later. Remember When Candide Thovex was releasing Candide Kamera? It was like a blast from outer space. After breaking his back in 2007, nobody heard a lot about […] SnowBrains | September 13, 2018 0 Comments
ThrowBack Thursday: “Outrageous Air Show” @ 49ers NFL Halftime Show in 1989 Now, this is cool. The San Francisco 49ers were way ahead of their time. A halftime show that featured skiers hitting a ramp and throwing double backflips and backflip 360s? Badass. This truly is a throwback that no one has ever heard of. Very cool Bob. Oh, and the 49ers won the Superbowl […] SnowBrains | September 6, 2018 3 Comments
