Shootin’ Some Chutin’ @ Kirkwood – 04/05/14 The last week of March and the first week of April 2014 have provided some of the best skiing of the year in the Tahoe region. With a glorious Spring day scheduled, we headed to Kirkwood to session up some of the infamous high altitude slackcountry zones before the powder turned to mush. With snow quality on our mind, we waited for first chair on The Wall, and then headed straight to the backside to get a few laps out in West Shore […] Conditions Report Casey Cane | April 10, 2014 2 Comments
The Master of POV Returns with Dub Tales 8 | Nutty Jackson Hole Footage “December and January were highlighted by persistent layers in our snowpack, but as things began to stabilize the storms started rolling in and the skiing was great. I spent a lot of days shooting photos with Jay Goodrich and video with KGB Productions, but managed a few relaxing solo days, or just shredding with friends. As […] SnowBrains | April 9, 2014 0 Comments
What Happened at Alta in March | Video Report: This video is all Alta, Utah and all Luke Perin. Obviously, Alta had a good March. Alta got 68″ of snow in the month of March ending the month at 371″ of total snowfall. Since April Fools Day Alta has gotten an additional 24″ of snow putting them up to 395″ of snow this season. Even on a ‘bad’ year, Alta is gonna break 400″ this season. Not bad. […] SnowBrains | April 8, 2014 0 Comments
Bluebird Blitzkreig @ Kirkwood – 02/23/14 I’ve been waiting for a day like this since November of 2013. The stars aligned and delivered bluebird skies, no wind, wintery snowpack, and every one of my favorite lines accessible. Its this early season snowpack (I know its late February) that really gives Kirkwood its raw feel and exhume its fun factor. Lines like Oops n Poops, Chamoix, Dan’s Cliffs, Thunder Saddle, Soul Searcher, Broadway Chute […] Conditions Report Casey Cane | February 27, 2014 2 Comments
The POV Master Andrew Whiteford | Retallack, B.C. Late March 2013, I had the great opportunity to visit the famed Retallack Lodge with other members of the Orage family. Banks Gilberti, Charley Ager, Tatum Monod, and I shot with Felix Rioux and Jake Strassman as Mike Nick orchestrated everything. Retallack is over the top- a delicious hearty breakfast and packed lunches allows for a full day of lapping deep, pillow filled forests before a daily Chinese Downhill […] SnowBrains | February 25, 2014 0 Comments
Tasting the Topography @ Telluride – 02/15/14 Yes, another Tahoe exodus for five days to find winter…of course, by the time of departure, the higher elevations of Tahoe received 8 feet of snow (Kirkwood) but ski trips get booked and you deal with it. So, off we went from SFO to Denver to Montrose with my 2 year old and buddy Dan to shred. Telluride is known for its funky town, box canyon vistas, Chair 9 bumps, steep piste, and a superb Ski School for the youngsters. But over the years, they’ve added some gnarly hike-to terrain into the mix. Of course, hiking to Palmyra Peak is the pinnacle of this in-bounds adventure but there’s also shorter hikes, to the left and right […] Conditions Report Casey Cane | February 24, 2014 1 Comment

20-Seconds of Big Boy Pillows with Eric Pollard This video gives us a good glimpse of what it’s like to ski big boy pillows. Eric Pollard drops in and, as always, makes it look easy. Eric broke his leg last year in Russia on his 4th day of the season. Despite that, he got a pretty fun edit out of those 4 days. Eric Pollard is an American snow freeskier and film editor from Welches, Oregon and currently resides in the Hood River […] SnowBrains | October 21, 2013 2 Comments
