New Zealand Winter Reflections New Zealand Winter Reflections written by Morgan Dinsdale It’s 637am. The full moon overhead illuminates my path forward as the headlamps of racers much faster than I fade into the distance uphill. Forty-five minutes later, as I reach the summit of Coronet Peak in my first Skin to Summit ski mountaineering race down here in New Zealand, I can’t stop […] Industry News Morgan Dinsdale | September 1, 2018 0 Comments
Steamboat Springs, CO Condition Report: Dry Powder It it was an arduous adventure from Idaho to Colorado, floating through the rolling hills of Wyoming and the ripping winds. And with the last ounce of fuel landed at Lower Knoll parking lot at Steamboat Springs.

Whistler, B.C. Conditions Report: Still Ripping Spring time in Whistler always promotes good fun, with long days making it possible to do many activities. The snow is slushy and smooth, the sun is out, goggle tans are in full swing, and everyone is having a good time on the hill. This spring has been interesting as Whistler Blackcomb decided to leave Whistler open into the late months of winter instead of Blackcomb. This has actually been really fun for me as I rarely ride Whistler. Lapping peak chair with no lines, and doing side hits and wind lips […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | May 22, 2015 0 Comments
Whistler Conditions Report: All Time April It is safe to say that April has been the best month of the season for powder. It has been going off in Whistler for the last two weeks, with deep storms and cold temperatures compared to the rest of the winter. The alpine has been all time with new snow every couple of days, making it fresh and fun. There has been some wind with these most recent storms making some pockets super deep, while other ridges are icy and have variable snow. Crowds have been pretty small during the weekdays, and not too bad on the weekends either. This week there have been more people on the mountain and in the bars due to WSSF (World Ski and Snowboard Festival). Conditions Report Peter Wentz | April 15, 2015 1 Comment
Blackcomb, B.C. to Close One Month Early + Whistler Powder Report: This past week has been a mash of snow, rain, freezing levels rising and falling, and clouds. Up high on the mountain has been the place to be for the entire season and that is still true today. Sunday was by far the best snow day we have had in a while. There was over 30 cm of fresh that day with lower freezing levels. It was snowing in the parking lots for some parts of the day which has not occurred in a hot second. It was socked in all day so people were sticking to the trees and up high near rocks for visibility. Over the night rain continued […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | March 30, 2015 2 Comments
