Freeskiing

Today was my birthday and a real ripper of a day at Snowbird. You had to choose your battles and figure out where the snow was, and where the gnarly frozen roller balls were underneath. North Baldy was not that great, West Baldy was awesome. The Bookends were sick Wilbur Bowl was awful. (See crash in video) Silverfox was killing it as always. We rolled hard all day with a great crew. Thanks to all my friends for all the love and for skiing with me. Also, thanks to the big guy for giving me a bluebird pow day with walk on trams all day long for my big day! Storms are heading our way too. Sick!

Trevor Thomas has been throwing down in Jackson for a while now.  Getting inverted off of large cliffs is one of his specialties.  This video shows his skills and a lot of sweet areas in the Jackson Hole Backcountry.  When you see him out on his skies, it is worth taking some time to see what he is up to.  It is always a good show.

“The Secret Stash,” as it’s sometimes called, was first discovered eight years ago by former professional snowboarder Cory Smith. Nestled in a secluded spot in central Idaho, Cory found an ideal place to shoot snowboard movies. After getting permission from the owners to use the perfectly-pitched, private land while it was snow-covered, Cory called up his moviemaking buddies at Robot Food.

Sam Cohen has just put out a mid season edit that is pretty sweet. Check it out and remember that this fella is just 18 years young. What were you doing at 18? Selling weed behind 7-11? Playing video games with your pimple faced friends? This is what the future looks like and I dig it!

There was another 10 or so inches of fresh at the Snowbird this morning on top of the leftovers from yesterday. Superior got skied by about 4,000 people today. I heard from Deane Southworth that is was wicked good. The resort also was wicked good today. Walk on trams made the day feel long, and the sun made landing cliffs easier than yesterday. People were going off everywhere. I caught a quick glimpse of Oakley White-Allan and Tanner Rosenthal skiing North Chute switch from the tram. Bravo guys!!!

Here are a few videos from some local fellas. First is Dave Zook snowboarding Perlas at Alta on April Fools Day. It is a common move for the one plankers to go over the border, but riding Perlas is a strong move. To all the other snowboarders out there send me some killer stuff!

Tristan Greszko has put together this amazing edit for all of us to enjoy.  It is a great way to remind yourself why you live here, or may inspire you to make a move.

This sweet little number is of Panda Poles front man Tanner Rosenthal getting after in on a powder day last week with the Panda Cam. Be patient with this one it gets pretty damn cool a little ways in when Tanner starts charging the deep and the dubstep starts hitting harder.

This week we have some great shots sent in by Jesse Kasten of Snowbird’s own Powdershots. You can check out more of Jesse’s work at his website. The shot of … Read More
