Temple Basin, NZ Conditions Report: Powder & Backflips

Temple Basin has always been a place I have wanted to ski. Tales of long hikes and a rickety goods lift always left my mind sceptical about the idea venturing into the unknown. But news came Wednesday of a possible 80cm snowfall to the Craigieburn range and excitement led me to instantly book flights down to Christchurch […]

VIDEO: Crazy Cliff Jumping & Slack Lining at Emerald Pools, CA

emerald pools.

Emerald Pools, CA is a legendary place. Amazing cliff jumping, great swimming, gorgeous views, terrific hiking, friendly water snakes, and plenty of room for adventure. Working your way down stream seeking out cliff jumping spots and solid swimming holes is a great way to pass the day. These boys give us a show of what can be done off the bigger cliffs at Emerald Pools. Goliath is a monster, both literally and figuratively. To get to Emerald Pools is easy. Just turn off 80 onto 20 and pull of the highway where the water flows uphill.

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Big Powder / Small Backflips

VIDEO: Backcountry Backflips in Big Patagonia Terrain

ski argentina

I think it’s safe to say we just had the best week of the season here at Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina. On Monday, September 7th, the storm came in strong enough to close the mountain entirely. It was cold and windy storm that snowed to the bottom of the mountain. Spots in La Laguna had over 5 feet of snow laying around. I’d say that in general, the upper mountain got about 2 feet of quality snow. Tuesday was good in bounds. […]
