Wow, a few guys got motivated and skied Main Chute of Mt. Baldy at Alta ski resort in Utah this past Saturday, September 24th, 2016 in 12โ€ณ of snow. They threw in a few backflips and 360ยบs, just for safe measure. โ€œAn unusually early snow storm dumped over a foot of snow in the Wasatch on September 22-24, 2016. While [โ€ฆ]

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 [โ€ฆ]

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

Squaw and Alpine have been on fire for the past week. Weโ€™ve had nothing but quality powder skiing since last Friday. Squaw has gotten 32โ€ณ of snow in the past 7 days. Yesterday was a full-on powder day with 7โ€ณ of new snow at Squaw and Granite Chief had been closed the previous day. Granite was pillowy, poppy, fluffy, deep, and fun all yesterday morning. Once satisfied with the Granite goodness we headed over to Siberia and skied Reverse Traverse Hogs Back laps with free wind-blown Today we cleaned up the leftovers on Granite in the morning and threw backflips off the โ€œFat Lipโ€ jump until Max did a 1.25 flip and hit hard. Heโ€™s 20 [โ€ฆ]

VIDEO: Backcountry Backflips in Big Patagonia Terrain

ski argentina

I think itโ€™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. Iโ€™d say that in general, the upper mountain got about 2 feet of quality snow. Tuesday was good in bounds. [โ€ฆ]

Siberia & Shirley Lake Open @ Squaw Valley | Photo Tour:

Squaw Valley had announced that theyโ€™d open Shirley Lake today, but to everyoneโ€™s shock and awe, they opened Siberia as well. Let us qualify that. They opened the hike to Siberia. The chair never moved. This system made it pretty darned fun, though. The hike was refreshing and the snow was perfect. Recrystallized powder rewarded all the hikers of Siberia today. [โ€ฆ]

We all know that Shane liked to ski naked.  How can you not laugh when you see a guy ski by naked?  Now take that guy and have him do a hideously wide spread eagle? Snickering yet?  Ok, weโ€™ll up the ante.  Take that naked guy, have him do a hideously wide spread eagle while doing a backflip so that [โ€ฆ]
