Crash of the Week: Mt. Baker Road Gap Up-Side-Down FACEPLANT… When you go for the Baker road gap, you wanna make sure that you get plenty of air. If you throw a backflip and you think you’re gonna end up short, you wanna tuck your legs into your chest to increase your angular velocity and get those skis under your body. This guy does neither and pays a hefty price… SnowBrains | October 28, 2015 2 Comments
VIDEO: Guy Throws Huge Backflip – Almost Lands on Rock – @ Treble Cone, NZ Damn, that landing was really really close to a large rock. If this guy had landed 3 feet to the left, he’d likely have gotten extremely injured. Scary… But, he didn’t land on the rock and landed in nothing but pure powder and skied away. Gosh, but we can’t stop thinking about that rock. Especially since this landing required a bit of a backslap to get things back in control. Imagine backslapping that […] SnowBrains | August 19, 2015 1 Comment
VIDEO: “Getting Stupid in Las Lenas” – August 2015 Our buddy Dorian got stupid in Las Lenas in early August this summer. Some of these lines are, well, kinda silly. Very high penalty, tight, claustrophobic, scary, rocky, sketchy lines. That’s what this guy is into and that’s what Las Lenas delivers on a platter on powder days. Most the lines in this video were filmed right off the Marte chair. Yep, you just ride up a chairlift to get to these lines. Las Lenas is a couloir skier’s dream come true. If you like big open terrain, there is a bit of that, too. But couloirs are king here. Miles Clark | August 15, 2015 3 Comments
#TBT VIDEO: Mike Wilson’s 100′ Double Backflip at Squaw 2011 Remember Mike Wilson? Double backflips off the Palisades in 2006? Double backflips off Glory Rock in 2011? Double backflips off The Kitchen Wall Cliffs in 2011? Double Backflips off The Fingers in 2011? Double backflips off just about anything he can find? I ran into Mike one day in 2006 and he said: “I’ve hit 3 jumps today and done 6 flips” Yeah, that guy. This video shows us a day in 2011 when Mike did a 100′ double backflip off The Fingers. I saw it in person and it was absolutely insane. He hit so hard that he wasn’t able to ski for a month after […] Miles Clark | June 4, 2015 1 Comment

Watch 41-yo Seth Morrison Throw a Huge Backflip @ Swatch Skier’s Cup Seth Morrison is now 41 years old and he’s still got it. Check out how big this backflip is at 1:43 and how he recovers from falling twice in the runout. Most people will never do a backflip that big nor stylish at any point in their life. That Seth can still do that at 41 years of age is damned impressive. Team Europe won the Cup this year but everyone put on a heck of a show. Tough to tell in the video, but the snow was reportedly very punchy and tricky. […] SnowBrains | February 27, 2015 1 Comment
